S James Butler out at least two weeks; full injury update
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Here’s the complete update of the St. Louis Rams’ injuries sustained Sunday, as provided by coach Steve Spagnuolo:
*QB Marc Bulger: Bruised rotator cuff in right shoulder. Likely to miss Sunday’s game at San Francisco.
*WR Laurent Robinson: Broken lower-leg bone and high-ankle sprain. Surgery required. Could be headed for injured reserve.
*S James Butler: MCL tear. No surgery. Out at least two weeks.
*DT Gary Gibson: Leg injury. Should be OK.
*LB James Laurinaitis: Sore shoulder. Should be OK.
*LB David Vobora: Concussion. Day-to-day.
Also, RT Jason Smith (knee) will be day-to-day this week.
At least Chris Long is healthy. NOW THATS FUNNY!!!!!!
It will be interesting to see what Boller can do with the offense when given the entire week to prepare as the starter. He’s no magic bullet, but at least he seems to move the offense with some confidence.
The Robinson injury is a big deal for this team. They don’t have a lot of offensive options, but this guy was starting to look like a decent #2 WR (too bad they don’t have #1 yet).
I thought the Butler loss would hurt, but I was fairly impressed with how well Dahl filled in for him. Dahl looked good in coverage, and he seemed to tackle very solidly. We seem to be much deeper at safety this year, at least.
Seriously, the Long stuff is old.
Baby Long needs to step it the H up! Losing butler is going to make the secondary even more pourous. Robinson’s loss means we have 1.5 receivers now…anyone out there run fast and catch? Maybe we can get Leonard Little to bust Plaxico out of jail, get him some plastic surgery and a fake ID
And with the #1 pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams select….
Quarterback, Sam Bradford, Oklahoma.
It’s a sure FIRE fact that Plaxico won’t be GUNNING for the 49′ers secondary this Sunday. Why SHOOT he’d get all TRIGGER happy and take a BULLET for Boller but he’s in a jail CHAMBER. Don’t think we could get enough GUN POWDER to BLAST him out.
At least Long shows up every week and leaves it all on the field.
Whew, Gary Gibson is going to be OK.
Here’s the real update on Bulger’s injury: Mild vagina sprain
Man, you guys are rough. In all seriousness, I was looking for some good things out of Laurent Robinson this year. Real shame to see him go down.
Bring back safety and special teamer Todd Johnson please.
