The St. Louis Rams, who were once the greatest show on turf, haven’t been able to catch a break lately. With what was supposed to be a turn around year for the Rams, suddenly turned out to be the opposite. After just the first week, three of their top players are already questionable for week two. Possibly the star of the team, Steven Jackson, strained his right quad on his first carry of the 2011 NFL season that happened to be a touchdown. The severity of the injury has not yet been released but should be known in a couple days. Danny Amendola is a wide receiver for the Rams, whose injury was the most visually gruesome. He dislocated his elbow in Sunday’s game against the Eagles. There was no break or tear in his elbow and is likely to avoid being on the injured reserve and possibly return in a few weeks. The least serious of the Rams injuries would have to be quarterback Sam Bradford’s’. He injured his index finger towards the end of the game but it does not seem to be serious. With no fracture in the finger, the only question that remains is, will it affect his performance in his next game? There are a few factors that will play into this. Swelling, tenderness, and mobility are things that may restrict a quarterback like Bradford from competing to his full potential. Overall this is not the start that St. Louis Rams were looking for, but if they can get through this tough time expect good things from this team in the near future.
