Amendola out 4-8 weeks

Danny Amendola suffered a separated right collarbone after diving for a pass in Thursday night's 17-3 win over the Big Dead. It's a joint separation that caused his collarbone to separate from his sternum. Sounds nasty, but it was a clean injury with no other bone fractures or ligament damage, and he does not need surgery, so he can be back sometime in the next 4-8 weeks, as long as he doesn't try to rush back like he did with his elbow injury last season.

I have Ryan Mathews on one of my fantasy teams, and know he was out 4-5 weeks after a collarbone injury in preseason. Though that was a different injury, I can see Amendola back in 4-6 weeks, and one of those is the Rams' bye after the stupid London game.

Other injuries from Thursday night:
* Quintin Mikell suffered a concussion after (iirc) striking his head on a teammate's knee. I doubt he'll play next week against Miami but it's obviously too early to know anything officially.

* Minor unspecified injuries for Bradley Fletcher, Mario Haggan, Brit Miller and Quinn Ojinnaka, but no indication that any of them will miss time.
