ST. LOUIS (AP) -St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger underwent an MRI exam on his groin and hamstring Monday and was due for a second MRI on a swollen knee in addition to testing for concussion-related symptoms after a physically demanding loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo said the first MRI revealed a strain. The second MRI was set for late Monday and Bulger will be tested for a possible concussion Tuesday after taking a blow to the head in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 21-13 loss.
Spagnuolo wasn’t certain of Bulger’s status for next week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. He said the injuries apparently occurred at various points in the game, and said Bulger woke up with the swollen knee.
“Marc Bulger’s pretty banged up,” the coach said. “Marc’s got a few things going on.”
Linebacker Chris Chamberlain and offensive tackle Jason Smith also will be tested for possible concussions on Tuesday.
o undergo an MRI on his neck. Offensive tackle Alex Barron (mild ankle sprain) and running back Steven Jackson (lower back strain) had more minor injuries.
Spagnuolo was hopeful guard Richie Incognito can return after missing three games plus the bye week with a foot injury.
