EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams have had some big names on their injury report all week but the news isn't all bad as they head toward Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.

Defensive end Robert Quinn (knee), receiver Tavon Austin (hamstring) and tight end Lance Kendricks (finger) all returned to practice in some capacity Friday and it looks like at least Quinn and Austin will be ready to go on Sunday.

Quinn and Austin are listed as probable on Friday's injury report while Kendricks is considered questionable. Cornerback Janoris Jenkins cleared the concussion protocol and is also probable.

Here's the full rundown of Friday's injury report:

Out: DE Chris Long (knee), LB Alec Ogletree (ankle)

Questionable: TE Lance Kendricks (finger), RB Tre Mason (ankle)

Probable: DE Robert Quinn (knee), WR Tavon Austin (hamstring), CB Janoris Jenkins (concussion)

If only I could tell my boss "hey, my knee is kinda sore, can I miss this week with pay and just make it up on Sunday?"

Kidding aside, that's good news. We need them.

ESPN notifications literally just popped up on my phone saying Tavon is questionable. so nice having consistent accurate reporting.

Sounds like they're taking a page out of Billichik's book

That's why I only trust Wagoner and Thomas. Anyone else, I have varying degrees of trust in them.

How did Tavon get a soft tissue injury during the bye week? Fisher ratchet up the conditioning?

Chris Long is out?

Chris Long is out?

Yeah, he hurt his knee pretty bad. Might be out for a couple more weeks as well.

Can't remember now if it was against Arizona or Green Bay.... but didn't Tavon grab at his hamstring while coming off the field? Maybe I am just imaging it. Can somebody can back me up on this? At any rate, hopefully it is nothing serious.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Why would Kendrick's play with a broken finger? I know he caught one in the Seattle game but still, this season could be decided by drops...or mistakes here & there....why would the coach throw passes to a receiver, in a crucial spot, that has a broken finger?

Hopefully Tre Mason can suit up. We should be running the ball down the Browns' throats with Gurley, Mason, Cunningham, and Tavon. Good to see Mo Alexander off of the injury report as well. We're going to need him on special teams.

So did the team get healthier or more banged up during the bye week? I'm confused.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Turns out Tavon actually IS questionable. Fisher in his press conference messed up and said Tavon was probable, while the actual report says he's questionable.

Wagoner and Simmons think it's pretty unlikely that Mason plays.

Wagoner and Simmons think it's pretty unlikely that Mason plays.

Damn. That's really going to hurt if Gurley needs a breather. Cunningham's good, but Mason's so much better.

Well .... I trust them on Injury reports .... opinions or anything else .... not so much!!:shades:

Isn't Watt on the active list? Tavon didn't look as quick against GB and this report makes me take him off my fantasy team for the game! Hope that's a mistake!
