From Jim Thomas' article today --
Fletcher is recovering from his second major knee injury in three NFL seasons; he has had anterior cruciate ligament injuries in both knees. Last season's injury occurred during a bye week practice in October, and it's uncertain when he'll be ready to play.
"The goal's to get him healthy," general manager Les Snead said. "With those type injuries, we'll not be able to put him on the field until he's 100 percent. You don't want to get it back too early and do further damage."
So unless the Rams add a starting cornerback via free agency, it almost seems like a necessity to add one in the draft. Claiborne, 5-11, 188, brings a lot to table as the latest defensive back prospect to come out of "DBU."
