* If you've been like me, and have been wondering, "What happened to that contract extension the Rams were supposed to sign James Laurinaitis to before the season starts?", you can stop wondering. The Rams and Laurinaitis have agreed to a new deal, just in time for the start of the season. It's for five years, and he'll get $23.5 million guaranteed. Total contract value is $41.5 million.
Congratulations to James; glad he's staying around for a while.
* The Rams' official injury list for tomorrow in Detroit has just three players, all defensive tackles, all out:
Michael Brockers (ankle);
Matt Conrath (knee);
Darell Dorell Scott (knee).
The new guy, Kellen Heard, who played for Mike Waufle in Oakland, figures to play a significant role tomorrow. Also, Sam Bradford will start despite an ankle sprain from 47 weeks ago.
Detroit has two doubtfuls in their secondary: hard-hitting safety Louis Delmas and cornerback Chris Houston. Would be nice if the Rams could exploit the absence of two starters back there.
* Ex-Rams wire:
- The Jagwires cut Keith Toston in order to activate Maurice Jones-Drew.
- The Saints reached an injury settlement with Marquis Johnson and waived him from injured reserve. He'll be able to sign with another team this season as a result. Assuming he's ever healthy for a couple of weeks in a row. He was playing well for the Saints before suffering a knee injury in practice three weeks ago.
- The Dolphins re-signed Ray Feinga.
