The 49ers find themselves facing a rather banged up St. Louis Rams squad. The 49ers injury list includes many more players, but Frank Gore and Reggie Smith are supposed to be the only two players missing this Sunday. The Rams could be rolling out Kyle Boller at QB and one player not listed below is WR Laurent Robinson, who was placed on IR a couple days ago.
I mentioned before that the 49ers have no excuses for this game, and with many of the Rams injuries and suspensions, the "no excuse" mantra rings even louder. No Coffee? Better be no problems. We'll see how things develop, but conceivably the Rams could be without a pair of offensive tackles, their QB and half their secondary. I'd expect CB Ron Bartell to play, but we'll see about S James Butler.
