TC Part Deaux

The Rams completed their first scrimmage, and although injuries began to mount, there were some bright spots.

Bad News: Backup Safety Eric Bassey tore his ACL and will be placed on IR.
Adam Carriker who suffered through an injured shoulder all of last year,
sprained an ankle and will miss a few weeks. Donnie Avery out 4-6 weeks.

Good News: The 1st team defense got consistent pressure on the Qb's and created turnovers. Bulger and the 1st offense had some movement. Jason Smith is progressing.
Baby Animal looks like a player.


The Avery injury is tough. WR is already a suspect position, and Avery was the only proven WR on the roster. We will quickly see if the team has faith in Burton, Robinson, and Curry or a vet is brought in. Injuries are part of the game, sooner or later it seems that this string of bad luck should end with the Rams up and coming starters.
