Wednesday update

* Injury report.
The injury list from yesterday almost did not change at all. Only difference was that Brandon Lloyd returned. Sam Bradford watched from the sideline. Josh Gordy was still limited. I'm going to assume at this point that Mark LeVoir and Quinn Porter have returned to practice. Either that, or no one cares enough to report about them.

* (Mock) draft news.
The first mock drafts are up on ESPN.com, and Todd McShay has the Rams, at #2, selecting.... USC tackle Matt Kalil. McShay doesn't believe Justin Blackmon is an elite wide receiver and doesn't have him going off the board until ninth, still the first WR selected.

Mel Kiper also ranks Kalil #2 overall behind Stanford QB Andrew Luck. He ranked Blackmon 5th, calling him a better prospect than Dez Bryant a couple of years ago. 

It's anybody's guess who McShay would project to the Rams if they were to draft third behind Minnesota and the Vikings took Kalil. He currently has Minnesota taking LSU CB Morris Claiborne, with Alabama RB Trent Richardson going 4th.
