Posted in Rams lost practice squadder DE Bryan Smith to the Jaguars today. Smith was a great pass-rushing prospect for the Rams and it hurts to lose him a little more than the regular practice squad player.

Crushing Injury News
Rams got bad news on the injury front today as Laurent Robinson is out for the year with a high ankle sprain AND fractured fibula. That is the worst case scenario for the Rams offense that had Robinson as its only highlight in 2009. I guess we will see what Robinson can do again in [...]

“He needs to be the focus of this team and this offense,” Shurmur said. “We’re constantly going to make an effort to give him the football.” For various reasons, the Rams also have failed to achieve their desired balance: Shurmur has called 68 pass plays vs. 39 runs. The result is that running back Steven [...]
