Absolutely fantastic attitude. Boy has this kid matured. Makes you want to root for this guy. Everyone wants to write this guy off. If he's actually healthy we could be in for a nice surprise. God knows our anemic offense could use the help. I for one, am pullin for him..

Practice Report 10/2: Quick Set to Return
By Myles Simmons


http://www.stlouisrams.com/

It’s been a long road back from a serious shoulder injury for wide receiver Brian Quick, and all indications are that he will be on the field when the Rams take on the Cardinals in Arizona.

“Had a great week of practice,” head coach Jeff Fisher said of Quick. “I hope it carries over into the game.”

“I’m really excited, man,” Quick said after Friday’s session. “I can’t wait to get out there with my brothers and try to get this win.”

Quick has been a healthy scratch for the first three games of the season, but his injury was a factor for why he was not in. Because of the shoulder, Quick was not able to fully participate in much of the Rams’ offseason program. The wide receiver said part of making his way back was simply catching up with the new elements in the offense.

“It was just everything, period,” Quick said. “Just getting back to the speed that I needed to get back into. So I’m still working, and any opportunity that I get, I’m ready for.”

Quick said one of the indications he had a good chance to play against the Cardinals was his increased practice reps.


“There are certain things that you just have to prepare for, going into the week,” Quick said. “So when the coaches put you out there, you have to be ready for anything.”

One factor for the practice time was Kenny Britt sitting out earlier in the week due to a minor shoulder injury. While Britt is listed as probable to play Sunday, Fisher said Quick was impressive in Britt’s stead.

“He stepped right in there and literally was flawless with his reps,” Fisher said. “He knows exactly what to do.”

Though Quick had not been playing, he said he’s spent time with the entire offense developing chemistry with quarterback Nick Foles.

“Reps after practice, us going in the meeting room together as a unit -- those are the little things that separate offenses and different players, just to have that chemistry together as one,” Quick said. “We’ve all been meeting and doing the extra things we needed to do.”

And last week, Foles said he’s seen plenty of potential from the 6-foot-3 wideout.

“The sky is the limit for that guy,” Foles said. “So talented, such a big receiver. His ball skills are among the best I’ve seen, just how he goes up and gets it.”


“When he gets out there, it’ll be exciting,” the quarterback added.

Given how hard and how long Quick has been working hard to be an active player on gameday, it wasn’t much of a surprise when he admitted Friday it was sometimes tough to sit and watch.

“You’re out here working every day and you see your brothers out there fighting, going out there giving it everything they have,” Quick said. “You want to go out there and do the same thing with them.”

And now that he will be able to do just that, Quick doesn’t need a moment to look back at all he’s overcome to get back to this point.

“I let it sink in every day -- every day I’m out here,” Quick said. “Once you get a chance to even sit on the sideline, to even be out here, be in this locker room -- you’ve got to take advantage of it and love everything that you do. So I just take that approach every day.”

INJURY REPORT

The Rams have six players listed on their injury report for Sunday’s contest.

Wide receiver Kenny Britt (shoulder) returned to practice Friday with full participation and is listed as probable. Linebacker James Laurinaitis (not injury related) is also listed as probable after having Tuesday and Wednesday off. Running back Benny Cunningham (knee) was added to the injury report Friday, but is listed as probable.

Running back Chase Reynolds (knee) did not practice all week, but is listed as doubtful. Defensive end Eugene Sims (knee) and safety Maurice Alexander (groin) have both been declared out for Sunday’s contest.

ROSTER MOVES

The Rams made a few corresponding roster moves to solidify the roster in preparation for Sunday.


Given the absence of Alexander, the Rams promoted safety Christian Bryant from the practice squad to the active roster.

“I think he’s got a chance to be active and help us on special teams,” Fisher said. “We’ve designated Maurice Alexander as ‘out’, so ‘CB’ can fill in for him till he comes back.”

The Rams selected Bryant in the seventh round out of Ohio State in the 2014 draft. The Cleveland, Ohio native spent last season on St. Louis’ practice squad.

“Christian was their Defensive MVP before he got hurt there at Ohio State,” Fisher said. “He’s one of those classic examples of what a difference a year makes. So, had a really good preseason. I’ve got all the confidence in the world that he’ll go out there and do the right things.”

To make room for Bryant on the active roster, the Rams cut cornerback Brandon McGee. The club also added cornerback Eric Patterson to replace Bryant on the practice squad. Patterson is an undrafted rookie out of Ball State, who spent the early portion of the offseason with the Patriots before going between the active roster and practice squad of the Colts. Indianapolis waived Patterson earlier this week.

Rams report: WR Quick to see first action of 2015

By Joe Lyons8

Wide receiver Brian Quick will be on the active roster Sunday when the Rams (1-2) take on the Arizona Cardinals (3-0) in a 3:25 p.m. NFC West showdown at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

“Had a great week (of practice); hope it carries over to the game,'' Rams head coach Jeff Fisher when asked about Quick in his post-practice meeting with the media Friday afternoon at Rams Park.

Asked if Quick would be active on Sunday, Fisher repeated: “I hope it carries over into the game.''

Quick, who suffered a severe shoulder injury last season in Kansas City, has been held out of the Rams' opening three game this season. A second-round draft pick in 2012, the 6-foot-3, 218-pound Quick was in the midst of a breakout season before being hurt a year ago. He made six starts in seven games and posted career-highs in receptions (25), receiving yards (375) and touchdowns (3).

Also on Friday, the Rams cut cornerback Brandon McGee, promoted safety Christian Bryant from the practice squad and signing cornerback Eric Patterson to fill the open spot on the practice squad.

A fifth-round draft pick in 2013, McGee was a solid contributor on special teams as a rookie but spent most of the last two seasons dealing with a foot injury. He was released at the end of training camp, signed to the practice squad and promoted to the active roster earlier this week.

Fisher said the move was made because of special-teams needs, citing Bryant's ability to fill in for fellow safety Maurice Alexander (Eureka High), who suffered a groin injury in last Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh.

Byrant, a 23-year-old from Ohio State, was drafted by the Rams in the seventh round of the 2014 draft and spent all of last year and the first three games this year on the team's practice squad.

Patterson, a cornerback and kick returner, played four years at Ball State before signing as an undrafted free agent by New England in May. After being released, he hooked on with the Indianapolis Colts and picked up two tackles in two games before being cut and signed to their practice squad.

Patterson was released from the Indy practice squad earlier this week.

I hope it is so! We need Quick.

[Elvis]

I think he'll be up. We'll see Sunday...

[Hacksaw]

So was it still the shoulder, the conditioning, the timing? Why was he a 'non injury' scratch? Were he and Givens vying for the same position and Quick beat out our 5th place receiver.
Kids tall and fast, decent hands too, but I can hardly remember him playing,,, similar to Bradford.

[Elvis]

I just think Fisher is being uber cautious this year. He isn't feeling the pressure the rest of us think he should.

Quick might come in as #2, #5 still slides off the roster. I guess we'll see what's what on Sunday...

[Hacksaw]

where is quick? still waiting? but wait, he can't........
