There’s no question that this is disappointing, but honestly I think I prefer Bradford sitting out if the ankle is not in good shape. The Rams aren’t playing for anything other than pride, and there’s no reason to risk serious injury that could affect next season. Bradford is too important to this franchise to have him completely blow out a knee or something because he can’t move in the pocket. We all want to see him play, but the right move is to sit right now, especially considering the team is on a short week after the Monday night game.

The rest of the list of inactives is long, but that doesn’t mean all of these guys will be unavailable Sunday. The list includes Craig Dahl, A.J. Feeley, Josh Gordy, James Hall, Mark LeVoir, Chris Long, Eugene Sims, and Stephen Spach. Feeley is expected to be out, and Chris Long is still very sore. I expect Long to play as he has the last few weeks, but it sounds like the ankle is becoming a problem.

As far as injuries suffered in the game, TE Stephen Spach is probably the most serious with a head injury, and he will be treated for a concussion this week. Mark LeVoir suffered a groin injury, and his status is up in the air for practice right now. LeVoir just can’t catch a break on the injury front, but let’s hope this thing turns out to be minor.

There are four players who are being listed as day-to-day, and they are Josh Gordy, Craig Dahl, James Hall and AJ Feeley. Dahl’s is an ankle, so we will have to see where he’s at throughout the week. Gordy has an oblique strain and Hall has a pec issue, and we all know about Feeley. Also, Quinn Porter and Fred Robbins are expected to be back this week.

In another sign that Bradford will likely play, new QB Kellen Clemens took most of the work with the offense in practice on Saturday, while Tom Brandstater spent most of his time working with the scout team. If the team was truly concerned about Bradford’s status, I can’t imagine they would have given all the reps to a guy who has only been here two days, especially after Brandstater got a majority of the snaps the rest of the week. I know Spags has been highly impressed with Clemens in the short time he has been here, but I just don’t believe Clemens would start over Brandstater if the situation arose. Hopefully it won’t be an issue.

The final injury report looks a little something like this: Brit Miller is questionable with his knee injury, and I’d say his status is very much up in the air. He was getting checked out again Saturday, and although he thinks he will be ready, I got the feeling that the team is a little concerned. Freddie Robbins is listed as questionable as well, and he didn’t practice all week. Chris Long did a little work Saturday and will play, while Mark LeVoir is expected to start at left tackled after missing two weeks. I already mentioned Feeley has been ruled out, as has return man Quinn Porter.
