Any news on Reverend Ike

[general counsel]

Will the reverend be preaching his gospel on sunday to the giants secondary? I havent heard anything yet on his status.

I doubt it. Most of the time when a player is doubtful, they usually don't play.

Who knows though?

[general counsel]

thanks, i havent seen the injury report, didnt realize he was doubtful. i think martz will hold him out a week anyway in the hopes that he will be ready for seattle.

I don't see where he has been listed as doubtful as of 3PM Eastern Wed. Who listed him as doubtful?

[txramsfan]

kffl has him out for the next two to three weeks.

[HUbison]

This is the same injury that has knocked Boller out of the next two months. Even if Bruce's injury is less severe, I'd hate to see Martz push the issue with Curtis ready to go.

Rams | Injury Update: I. Bruce
Sun, 25 Sep 2005 20:36:02 -0700

Nick Wagoner, of StLouisRams.com, reports St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz said he is not sure of WR Isaac Bruce's (toe) status for next week. "Isaac's turf toe I am concerned about," Martz said. "Those turf toes are nasty things. I don't know how bad it is, but it will probably be Wednesday before I can comment." As noted earlier, Bruce feels like he will be OK. "I'm optimistic that everything is well and I shall be back fast," Bruce said. "I shall be quick, I shall be explosive and I shall be in the mix like I've always been."

St. Louis Rams WR Isaac Bruce (toe) suffered a hyperextended toe in Week 3 and his status for Week 4 will be determined later this week. Bruce could possibly miss the next two or three weeks with the injury. If Bruce is sidelined, WR Kevin Curtis becomes the starter.

There is sure a lot of if's in these statements.

If we are going to go on things reported. Bruce also said " I will be ready to go next week".

[RealRam]

Well I hope he does get two weeks -- at least one -- to bring that toe back in shape to 90-100%.

As HUbison said, Curtis is ready to go and besides, he is doing so well. Excellent starter in lieu of Bruce for now. Looker is WR4 ready at the bench as well.

Seems the Rams offense is as excited as we are!

[AJD45]

Thanks for the update on my favorite player! What bad luck -- Ike was just talking about playing for many more years, I hope the injury doesn't linger.

Rams | Bruce Misses Practice; Doubtful for Week 4
Wed, 28 Sep 2005 16:40:34 -0700

St. Louis Rams WR Isaac Bruce (turf toe) did not practice Wednesday, Sept. 28 and is listed as doubtful for the team's Week 4 game against the New York Giants. Although it is never wise to count out Bruce too early, the injury looks like a two-to-three week situation.

[general counsel]

I bet he plays against seattle.

I didnt get to hear or see the game..I was at an Expo for my Co.When I got home I read the game stats.Bruce 1 catch for 11 yards.At that point I knew somthing was wrong.I read further and found out it was turf toe,and I thought ok we're alright we got Curtis.

I hope this injury wont keep him out very long,but i'd rather he rested it and comes back 100% even if its week 10. We will def.need him down the stretch.

[talkstoangels61]

If Ike doesnt heal up 100% it will hurt us in the long run! Save it for the playoffs reverand,we will need you @100%..........for your 2nd ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let Him Sit Out This Week And Have Him Ready For Seattle.
