Depleted Rams Receiving Corp takes a hit:


Quote:
Top WR Avery out 4 to 6 weeks with foot injury

What orginally was believed to be a minor injury has turned into a major problem for the St. Louis Rams. Donnie Avery, the team’s No. 1 wide receiver, will be out at least a month with a foot injury he suffered in Friday night’s scrimmage.

Avery experienced discomfort in his left foot when he woke up Saturday morning, but an X-ray showed no fracture. However, an MRI exam taken after Avery sat out Sunday morning’s practice “showed more than we thought,” coach Steve Spagnuolo said. “It’s probably a four-to-six-week injury.” Spagnuolo declined to comment further.

Avery, the Rams’ second-round draft pick in 2008, had 53 receptions for 674 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie season. When Torry Holt was released in the offseason, Avery became the top wideout on the depth chart.

Sunday’s afternoon practice was a special-teams session that lasted just over an hour. It was held at the indoor facility at Rams Park.

Could Boller be more than just a backup?  That's what CBSSportsline is suggesting in this piece... that's rolling [smiley=rollin.gif] off "The REAL Feed":

Briefs: Bulger's finger injury opens door for Boller (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/12082356/rss)
CBS SportsLine.com NFL News (18.08.2009 17:20)
Tuesday's NFL news briefs: Marc Bulger survived three sacks in the St. Louis Rams' preseason opener. Then a simple snap exchange resulted in a pinkie injury that will keep him out for two weeks -- and perhaps open the door for backup Kyle Boller.
