Rams are tight-lipped right now, just saying "injured left knee" and Bradford will not return. Austin Davis was brought into the game suspiciously early for Shaun Hill, though.
Sam Bradford is out for the season; torn ACL, same one that ended his 2013 season.
* Rodger Saffold left the game with a sprained ankle. Phil Taylor went down on a running play and rolled up on Rodger's leg. Saffold walked off under his own power, leaving me hopeful it was a low sprain. A high sprain would cost Rodger significant time. Just lousy luck for Saffold, not a lot of people on earth are going to get away unscathed when a 350-pounder crashes into the side of their leg.
Much better news here than expected; Saffold could play Thursday night. Looked like that ankle got bent pretty good on TV.
* Trumaine Johnson had to be carted off in the 2nd. Daren Bates blew a tackle on a running play, and in that act, drove his helmet smack into TruJo's knee.
Yeah, who saw Greg Reid as an opening day starter? Or E.J. Gaines?
UPDATE: Johnson has a sprained MCL, will be out at least six weeks.
2nd UPDATE: 4-6 weeks.
* Michael Brockers and Kendall Langford have left the game with minor injuries, though I haven't heard confirmation on Langford's.
Brockers and Langford are possible for Thursday night.
Holy crap. Preseason games aren't just useless, they're dangerous, and in the Rams' case, may have already wrecked the season before it begins, though they could always rally behind Shaun Hill and play good football.
More injury updates as I see them. I'm still working the end of the first half on the DVR. Rams were leading 20-0 at the 2:00 warning, as if that freaking matters.
