With a 100 or so military personnel from the region watching from the sideline on Friday, the Rams wrapped up their practices in preparation for Sunday's game in Arizona against the Cardinals. Game time is 3:25 p.m. (St. Louis time.)
After practice, the Rams players and coaches met briefly with the troops to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
“It's something we do on an annual basis in addition to recognizing a Wounded Warrior at our home games,'' Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. “This is (the NFL's) Tribute to Military Month and this has been in the works and it really great to have them out. The players, they pick things up a little bit today. Just can't say enough about how much we appreciate and what they've done for our country.''
The Rams will play their Salute to Service game on Nov. 16 when they take on the Denver Broncos at the Edward Jones Dome.
Also on Friday, cornerback Janoris Jenkins practiced for the first time since suffering a knee injury in the team's 28-26 victory over the visiting Seattle Seahawks on Oct 19. The third-year starter has sat out the last two games.
“Janoris had limited practice and he's questionable,'' Fisher said.
Rookie cornerback Marcus Roberson (ankle) and second-year linebacker Daren Bates (groin) sat out Friday's workout at Rams Park. Bates, who's second on the team with four special-teams tackles, is listed doubtful and Roberson is questionable.
Safety Cody Davis (concussion) practiced Friday but is also questionable. Going through full practices and listed probable are tight end Cory Harkey (knee), defensive end William Hayes (fibula), linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar (toe), safety Rodney McLeod (knee) and cornerback E.J. Gaines (knee).
For Arizona, reserve running back Stephan Taylor (calf) and reserve linebacker Desmond Bishop (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday. Starting running back Andre Ellington was limited Friday and is probable, with back-up defensive tackle Ed Stinson (groin) limited on Friday and listed questionable.
Other Cardinals listed _ starting tackle Bobby Massie (ankle/knee), starting linebacker Larry Foote (back), reserve linebackers Lorenzo Alexander (knee) and Marcus Benard (illness) _ practiced Friday and are probable for Sunday's NFC West showdown in the desert.
