Rams WR Brian Quick needs shoulder surgery, out for season
Not much is going right for the St. Louis Rams, losers of three of their last four games, and now they've lost their best wide receiver for the duration. Brian Quick suffered a left shoulder injury during the second quarter of Sunday's defeat in Kansas City. Head coach Jeff Fisher confirmed Monday that Quick suffered a dislocation and a torn labrum to that shoulder and needs season-ending surgery.Prior to the injury, Quick led the Rams with 375 receiving yards. Only tight end Lance Kendricks (four) has scored more touchdowns for St. Louis than Quick (three).
The third-year receiver out of Appalachian State was having a breakout year through Week 5. But he caught only four passes for 53 yards after that. Kenny Britt and tight end Jared Cook will ostensibly become the heads of this receiving corps, but it's not an appealing one for fantasy owners. The Rams' offense looks lost right now. The O-line is falling apart -- Jake Long is out for the year after an ACL tear Sunday -- St. Louis has no idea what it wants to do with its running backs, it can't find a way to involve Tavon Austin consistently, Austin Davis isn't more than an average quarterback, and this whole show is being directed by one of the worst OCs some years running now, Brian Schottenheimer.And look at the Rams' upcoming schedule: at San Francisco, at Arizona, hosting Denver, at San Diego. They look well on their way to 2-9.
