A Monday MRI revealed that Marc Bulger has a fracture in the upper part of his kneecap. He'll miss the next 3-6 weeks.
The injury is a "tibial plateau fracture," and with only six games left Bulger is a candidate for injured reserve. Kyle Boller is next on the depth chart, but the 1-9 Rams may as well see what rookie Keith Null can do if Boller struggles (likely). Boller wasn't good in two spot starts earlier this season. Bulger wasn't playing very well either, but had a better chance of getting the ball to Donnie Avery and Brandon Gibson. Both Rams wideouts take hits in value.
Kyle Boller will be the Rams' starting quarterback with Marc Bulger (broken tibia) out 3-6 weeks.
Boller will likely be on a short leash with rookie Keith Null behind him on the depth chart. Null at least flashed in preseason, while Boller managed a paltry 5.59 YPA and 2:3 TD to INT ratio in three appearances earlier this season. The Rams face Seattle, Chicago, and a hot Tennessee team in their next three games. Grab Boller in two-QB leagues only if you're desperate.
Marc Bulger is in danger of missing Week 12 against Seattle after suffering multiple injuries in Sunday's loss to Arizona.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo revealed Bulger strained his "hamstring-groin area," took a blow to the head, and also needs an MRI on his swollen knee. He's having an MRI later today. Kyle Boller will start against the Seahawks if Bulger can't, which wouldn't help the cause of Brandon Gibson or Donnie Avery.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo revealed Monday that Steven Jackson suffered a "muscle strain" in his back during the Rams' Week 11 loss.
Spags didn't indicate that it's anything serious. S-Jax probably isn't in danger of missing Week 12, but he's been injury prone over the last two years, so the situation is worth monitoring. The Rams play Seattle next Sunday.
Rams rookie RT Jason Smith left Sunday's loss to the Cardinals with concussion-like symptoms.
Smith was forced out in the fourth quarter and did not return. Adam Goldberg shifted over into the right tackle spot, with Mark Setterstrom coming on to play right guard.
Marc Bulger will have an MRI on his hamstring Monday.
Bulger took some shots late in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and was "woozy" after taking a sack. The hamstring injury is almost certainly not serious, but he'll probably be limited in practice this week.
Marc Bulger will be evaluated by the Rams' medical staff after taking some hits late in Sunday's game.
Bulger appeared woozy down the stretch of the game, and it clearly affected his accuracy. He also told reporters at a post-game news conference that he has an injured groin and hamstring. Coach Steve Spagnuolo says Bulger got a "little bit dinged in the head. He took some whacks there at the end."
