So the Rams give a $3m contract to an always hurt RB from Dallas.
He never practices with the team, at all, because......he's too injured to practice.
Now as we're a couple of weeks before we start the season, we hear that they have NO idea when he'll be able to play.
What the heck is going on here?
This sounds like the Rams got completely fleeced by the player. And besides, the NFL landscape is littered with vet RBs. Why in the world would the Rams pick up a never-healthy smurf of a RB, pay him decent money, and have NO idea when they signed him that he has a knee that must be chronically damaged?
But even more, why are they hanging on to him? What's the point? Clearly they threw $3mil in cap money down the toilet. Move on. They have enough RBs to get the job done. Dunbar isn't going to elevate our RB position that I can see.
They cleared him. He passed the physical. Can;t fleece that. And he got re-injured.
It was a risk, they gambled, they lost.
He hasn't stepped on the field once for the Rams that I recall.
He passed the physical like Wells passed the physical.
Rams doctors?
The collection of events that started with OTAs and ended with Mini-camp went from April 10 through June15.
They signed him in March.
So if he dinged himself or just regressed I would assume it was in OTAs. They had him on the PUP for training camp before it even started.
It's a knee. You can mess up a knee just walking on to the field. So who knows.
I see no indications that he did not participate in OTAs. I assume he did. But I don;t know for sure either way.
That is, however, 2 guys with prior knees who did not make it. Both Easley and Dunbar.
