According to coaches review, your Rams leading tackler through 2 games is Mo Alexander w 12. Ethan Westbrooks 2nd with 11

One more update from Fisher: CB E.J. Gaines sat with an undisclosed injury from practice last week but Fisher said it's not serious.

Fisher also pointed out that he wants to get Greg Robinson more snaps between Scott Wells and Jake Long. Experience, knowledge to soak in.

Along with more game planning, starters will play more. Fisher said QB Sam Bradford will play more than he did against Green Bay.

Per Fisher, C Demetrius Rhaney had no ligament damage in knee. Called it a deep bone bruise. But expects him to miss four-plus weeks.

Also, as you'd expect for preseason week 3, Fisher said there will be more scheming and game planning for Browns than the past two weeks.

Fisher also noted that this time of year team is always scanning waiver wire for help. That came in response to question about OL.

And Fisher confirmed that Pead's injury was indeed a torn ACL. He'll miss the season, have surgery in the next two weeks or so.

Jake Long obviously scheduled to play. We'll see what "a chance" means for the other three as the week goes on.

Fisher said there's "a chance" for all four of Jake Long, James Laurinaitis, Rodger Saffold, Michael Brockers to play in Cleveland this week

Jeff Fisher just wrapped up his day after game news conference. Confirms Barrett Jones back surgery. Said he's "weeks away" from return.

FIsher confirmed that Isaiah Pead has a torn ACL and is out for the year; may undergo surgery this week.

Offensive lineman Mike Person hit the trifecta vs. Packers playing guard, then tackle, then center. He was in for all 71 offensive snaps.

Gaines finished out the week practicing but team decided to play it safe Saturday.

Fisher says E.J. Gaines didn't play because after getting knicked up in practice last week. It looked like he tweaked his ankle.

Fisher says J. Long, R. Saffold, J Laurinaitis, and M. Brockers all could play vs. Cleveland this coming week.

Fisher says C Demetrius Rhaney has "only" a bone bruise in knee (from practice injury last week) but still will miss several weeks.

Impressive for these guys. However, it bothers me that a LB isn't listed here. Especially with as many snaps as Ray Ray Armstrong has taken.

I'm not really sure the exact snap count, but I know Westbrooks played at least half the game against the pack and a good chunk in NO. Mo Alexander was all over the ball this week so that doesn't surprise me. How many tackles does Ray Ray have? I'd be surprised if he was top 5 right now for us.

Alexander has been better than I thought he would be at this point. He is a viable backup at ss and will be a very good special teams player.

Looks like Westbrooks, Alexander, Joyner, and Gaines are really shining as far as this year's draft choices and UFDAs go. . .
