The Rams have lost 25-year old G/C Mark Setterstrom for the rest of the year with torn triceps. He has played in 9 games (3 starts) for the Rams this season. In his three years with the Rams, Setterstrom has played in 19 games (12 starts). The Rams will miss him as he was starting at RG at the time of his injury.
The Rams will be without 26-year old TE Daniel Fells for the rest of the year due to a sprained knee ligament and a fractured thigh bone right above his right knee. Fells played in 14 games for the Rams this season and he caught 21 passes for 273 yards (13.0 avg) with 3 TD grabs. Fells really played well this season to solidify his position with the Rams for the future and they will miss him the last couple of weeks.
The Rams have lost starting safety O.J. Atogwe for the rest of the year due to a torn labrum and a dislocated shoulder. Atogwe played in all 12 games for the Rams this season and he had 74 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 3 passes defensed and 2 interceptions. It will be interesting to see if the Rams bring back the 28-year old Atogwe next season as he will become a free agent at the end of the year. Atogwe has played in 72 games in his 5 years with the Rams and he has made 320 tackles, defensed 33 passes, forced 14 fumbles, has 2 sacks and he has intercepted 19 passes (one returned for a TD). The Rams would be smart to bring back Atogwe next season and beyond and they will miss him the rest of this year.
The Rams have lost starting QB Marc Bulger for the next 3-6 weeks with a fractured tibia. Bulger has played in 9 games for the Rams this season and he has completed 140 of 247 passes (56.7%) for 1,469 yards with 5 TD passes and 6 INTs (70.7 QB Rating). He has also carried the ball 8 times for 22 yards (2.8 ypc) so far this season. Kyle Boller will replace Bulger in the starting lineup. He has played in 3 games for the Rams this year and he has completed 49 of 86 passes (57%) for 481 yards with 2 TD passes and 3 INTs (66.1 QB Rating). He has also carried the ball 9 times for 37 yards (4.1 ypc) this year. Boller has a stronger arm than Bulger but he just isn’t that good of a QB and he will be on a short leash this time around for the Rams. Rookie Keith Null out of West Texas A&M will get the shot to show what he can do if Boller doesn’t play well.
The Rams have lost 27-year old DE C.J. Ah You for the year with a torn ACL. Ah You had 17 tackles, 1 sack and he defensed 1 pass this year for the Rams. This means that 26-year old Victor Adeyanju will likely get more P.T. for the Rams going forward. He has played in 3 games for the Rams this season and he has 1 tackle. He has played 4 years in his NFL career appearing in 46 games in which he has 111 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 3 sacks.
