 46 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - Rams injury report: QB Bradford questionable
Not practicing Friday were QB Sam Bradford (ankle), CB Brian Jackson (knee), DE C.J. Ah You (wrist) and DE Eugene Sims (migraine). Ah You and Jackson are out for Sunday’s game at Dallas. Sims is probable and Bradford is questionable. Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 21, 2011 2:47 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Saffold sees Cowboys' Ware as 'greatest threat'
Rams LT Rodger Saffold on Cowboys OLB DeMarcus Ware: “He’s probably the greatest threat we’re going to see. He does a great job of having millions of different moves. He’s a strong, very fast guy and it’s going to be a challenge, but (we) have to make sure we’re technically sound. Against a guy like that, you have to be perfect.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 21, 2011 2:41 p.m. - by Ron Clements - DT Gibson gets first sack, selected as game captain
DT Gary Gibson said being recognized by his teammates as a game captain is a big honor. The selection comes following his first career sack last Sunday at Green Bay. “It was good, been close a bunch,” the six-year veteran said. “It’s finally good to get a guy down on the ground.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 21, 2011 2:36 p.m. - by Ron Clements - WR Clayton, CB Johnson still "rusty," out this week
Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Friday that both WR Mark Clayton and CB Marquis Johnson were “a little rusty” and said neither would be active on Sunday at Dallas. Clayton (knee) and Johnson (knee, shoulder) spent the first six weeks on the PUP list. Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 21, 2011 2:35 p.m. - by Ron Clements - QB decision not an easy one for Rams
Coach Steve Spagnuolo said deciding which quarterbacks to activate Sunday won’t be an easy decision. Sam Bradford has a high ankle sprain and A.J. Feeley is the only other QB on the active roster. The team may promote Tom Brandstater from the practice squad. “Two quarterbacks up? Three quarterbacks up? If it’s two, which two?” Spagnuolo pondered. Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 21, 2011 2:32 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Spagnuolo on Bradford's ankle treatment
Coach Steve Spagnuolo on QB Sam Bradford’s treatment of his high ankle sprain: “He’s tried braces and there are one or two that he likes. More than anything, it’s getting him to the point where our quarterback isn’t going to go out there and make it worse … He’s fighting through all the rehab and doing everything he can.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 5:43 p.m. - by Ron Clements - RB Jackson motivated to play Dallas
A lot has been made about the Cowboys passing on RB Steven Jackson in the 2004 NFL Draft, but Jackson said that no longer bothers him. He said he still gets motivated to play Dallas but that it's because the Cowboys large fan base presents “a big stage." Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 5:36 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Rams offense gets jolt, it seems, with Lloyd and Clayton
RB Steven Jackson said the offense is close to having a breakout game and that the addition of WR Brandon Lloyd and the return of WR Mark Clayton off the PUP list gives an extra jolt to the league’s worst scoring unit that has been plagued by pre-snap penalties. Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 5:30 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Jackson happy for return of WR Claytonn
RB Steven Jackson on the return of WR Mark Clayton, who is coming off the PUP list: “He’s come along just fine. Besides himself, I was counting down with him too. I’m really happy for Mark.

 Oct. 20, 2011 5:30 p.m. - by Ron Clements - McDaniels: Offensive identity not yet defined
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on the team’s offensive identity: “Until we get points on the board, until we score enough points to outscore somebody, regardless of how many they score, we’re not going to be satisfied. Our identity’s only going to come when we start winning games.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 5:25 p.m. - by Ron Clements - RB Jackson on WR Lloyd: Extra weapon will open defenses
RB Steven Jackson on adding WR Brandon Lloyd: “It gives (us) an extra weapon and allows us, in the running game, to have some more favorable boxes. I can’t tell you the last time we’ve had Cover 2 defenses to run against. I’m looking forward to that.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 5:05 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Lloyd livens things up with Rams, OC says
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on WR Brandon Lloyd, acquired from Denver on Monday: “I really enjoy working with him. It’s fun to coach him. He’s a guy who brings a lot of excitement here.

 Oct. 20, 2011 5:02 p.m. - by Ron Clements - McDaniels fine with Feeley as starter
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on his comfort level with QB A.J. Feeley starting: “Fine. … A.J. has done a decent job (in) practice. This is not his first rodeo with an opportunity to come in and potentially play in a game. He knows what we’re doing and has a good feel for it.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 4:49 p.m. - by Ron Clements - McDaniels: 'No excuse' for dismal offense
After their three-point performance at Green Bay, despite over 400 yards of total offense, the Rams are averaging a league-worst 9.8 points per game. “We made some progress, but whenever you put yourself in an opportunity to score, we’re learning that one mistake is enough,” offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. “There’s no excuse. We’ve got to eliminate our mistakes.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 4:36 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Rams still not happy with defense
Defensive coordinator Ken Flajole said the play of the league’s 30th-ranked defense is still “not acceptable.” He said the defense needs more of a push up the middle from the front four in the pass rush to “cause some vision problems for the quarterback.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 20, 2011 4:22 p.m. - by Ron Clements - QB Bradford, 3 others fail to practice Thursday
CB Brian Jackson (knee), DE C.J. Ah You (wrist) and QB Sam Bradford did not practice Thursday. Bradford again was not on the field and still in a walking boot.

 Oct. 20, 2011 4:22 p.m. - by Ron Clements - LT Stafford full participant
LT Rodger Saffold has been a full participant this week in practice despite a bone bruise suffered at Green Bay. “He bounced back, which is good to see because we can’t afford to lose anybody,” coach Steve Spagnuolo said Thursday. “We dodged a bullet there.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 19, 2011 5:23 p.m. - by Ron Clements - CB Johnson, fresh off PUP list, ready to play Sunday
CB Marquis Johnson, coming off the PUP list, doesn’t know if he’ll play Sunday. “I know they’re trying to take it slow and I respect that,” Johnson said. “I’m going to do whatever they ask me to do. I thrive on being ready if they do call my name.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 19, 2011 5:17 p.m. - by Ron Clements - CB Johnson barely slept in anticipation of practice
CB Marquis Johnson, returning to practice from the PUP list after six weeks and all last year on IR, said Wednesday’s practice went well. He added that he was so anxious Tuesday night that be barely slept. Johnson had shoulder and knee injuries that both required surgery. Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 19, 2011 5:16 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Arlington native Clayton has torn allegiances in Series
WR Mark Clayton, an Arlington, Texas native, is printing T-shirts that will be split in half between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals. He joked that will try to attend Sunday’s World Series game following the Rams-Cowboys game. “I’m thinking about asking Coach (Steve Spagnuolo) if I can fly back Monday morning,” he quipped. Rams RapidReports

WR Mark Clayton said Wednesday’s practice, his first official one of the season, “went good. Felt good, ran good, routes were good and we did a good job of communicating stuff.

 Oct. 19, 2011 4:57 p.m. - by Ron Clements - QB Feeley preparing to start, but understands role
QB A.J. Feeley on Wednesday’s practice: “It was nice to get some reps with the starting group. It’s a chance to familiarize myself with this offense even more.” Feeley is preparing to start Sunday at Dallas, but knows that, if Sam Bradford is a game time decision, it’s Bradford’s team. Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 19, 2011 4:53 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Lloyd used to switching quarterbacks
WR Brandon Lloyd said coming to St. Louis when starting QB Sam Bradford is injured is no big deal. “I’m pretty used to switching quarterbacks,” he said with a laugh, an obvious reference to Denver’s QB rotation. “It doesn’t matter who the quarterback is … (I’ll be) consistent, come in and provide a deep threat and open up the offense.” Rams RapidReports
 Oct. 19, 2011 4:51 p.m. - by Ron Clements - WR Lloyd impresses himself with grasp of offense
WR Brandon Lloyd on his grasp of the offense: “I was surprised at how much I was able to recall.” Lloyd said offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ offensive terminology is essentially the same as it was when McDaniels was Lloyd’s head coach in Denver. Rams RapidReports

Coach Steve Spagnuolo said, despite the 0-5 record, his team is improving. “I do firmly feel we’re a better football team than we were three weeks ago … The goal is to be better this week than we were last week and the hope is to eventually be good enough to where we start winning football games because that’s what it’s all about.” Rams RapidReports
