Danny Amendola Status Update: Amendola Not Ruled Out !!!

by Ryan Van Bibber on Oct 2, 2011 8:07 AM CDT

Frustrating fans and fantasy football GMs alike, the St. Louis Rams have a decision to make with wide receiver Danny Amendola. He practiced some this week, for the first time since dislocating his elbow in week one. Amendola is listed as questionable on the injury report, and the team seems most likely to let him wait until after next week's bye before pushing him back onto the field.

Despite that, Danny Amendola could still play today. Sam Bradford struggled to complete passes without his most reliable receiving option. With troubles deep and struggles with pass protection, Bradford lacked his safety valve who could always be counted out to scrappy out a few yards.

Fantasy football teams may want to avoid Danny Amendola just because the likelihood that he will play today is very low. Rams fans can at least hold out a sliver of hope to see a favorite player back on the field, but be prepared to deal with the most likely possibility that he will sit today.

It would be a huge uplift if he did go, but a huge let down if he got injured again.....IMO hold him out one more game

About 20 minutes ago, the Associated Press reported that Danny was downgraded to doubtful. I'd be shocked if he plays today.

EDIT: Update is he's among the Rams' inactives for today.

All this guy does is impress me. What a tough player.

now that we have SJax soon with Danny our mini-GSOT will be firing on all cylinders.

Some people forget that Danny is one of Sam's favorite receivers near the goal line. I wouldn't be surprised if having him back makes our red zone offense better.

Yeah, I saw that. You know he can't be happy. Lol.

The coaches need to make the right decision for Amendola. He is too competitive for his own good. Reminds me of Pisa.

Watching NFL Sunday countdown now, Adam Sceffter reported Amendola had re-injured his triceps, he said, he is seeing a specialist this week. That wouldnt surprise me at all.? It was his elbow that got injured though, I know.?
