| ST. LOUIS -- It's back to the salvage yard for the winless St. Louis Rams, who lost their third offensive lineman to a season-ending injury Monday.
Guard Richie Incognito's right kneecap popped out of place, a partial dislocation with accompanying cartilage damage, in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns. Incognito was optimistic after the game that the injury was not serious, but after an MRI exam coach Scott Linehan said surgery would be required followed by a "somewhat lengthy recovery time." The news was more encouraging on running back Steven Jackson, sidelined by back spasms in the first half after a strong start against Cleveland. An MRI exam on Monday revealed a bulging disk, but Linehan is optimistic he could return to the lineup without missing a game. The Rams (0-8) have a bye this week and play next at New Orleans on Nov. 11. "Maybe it's good timing that we have the bye this week, for him," Linehan said. "Certainly I would think he wouldn't be able to play this week." The Rams will practice Tuesday and Wednesday before getting four days off to lick their wounds. Linehan, 8-8 in his first season with the Rams, was told a few weeks ago his job was not in immediate jeopardy and said Monday team president John Shaw has been "very supportive." "I met with him yesterday and there's no plan to meet with him this week," Linehan said. "I talk to John every week." Linehan, never a head coach before the Rams hired him, said he's doing his best to cope with the Rams' plight. "I'll always say this, I'm one of the luckiest people in the world to have one of these 32 jobs and be in this position," Linehan said. "I don't think I'm having the luckiest season of my career." |

| THE MOVE: Left tackle Orlando Pace signs a seven-year, $52.9 million contract.
WHY IT HAPPENED: Maybe the better question is, why did it take so long to happen? After almost three years of back and forth negotiations and bickering, Pace signed a contract that will likely allow him to retire as a Ram. Had the Rams lost Pace to free agency or through trade, it would have been a devastating blow to an already banged up offensive line. The only tackles left on the roster would have been inexperienced, injured or both. Keeping one of the top three or four offensive tackles in the game was a no-brainer. Nobody knows that better than St. Louis, a team that has seen how difficult it can be to find stability on the offensive line because of the revolving door that has been in place at right tackle for the past six or seven years. HOW IT HELPS: Pace gives the Rams some sort of stability on the offensive line and will anchor the group for as long as he stays with the team. He will be in training camp for the first time in a long time and also is participating in the off-season workout program that began on Monday. His presence in those places will not only help him become a better, more physical player, but should also increase chemistry with other members of the offensive line. All of that could add up to an improved group from the one that allowed 50 sacks last year. St Louis Rams Tickets. Online St Louis Rams Tickets. Buy St. Louis Rams Tickets. St. Louis Rams Tickets.
