If Bradford (ankle) can’t go Monday night at Seattle, the Rams (2-10) will likely be down to a player with zero NFL snaps because backup A.J. Feeley has all but ruled himself out with a broken thumb on his right hand.
“It’s pretty sore right now, it’s pretty swollen, it’s pretty tough to grip,” Feeley said.
Former Fresno State quarterback Tom Brandstater, elevated from the practice squad last week, took snaps with the first string in an abbreviated practice that lasted about an hour Wednesday.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo said it was too early to hazard a guess about Bradford’s status for the Seahawks.
“His status is the same,” Spagnuolo said. “We’re trying to get it to Monday.”
The Rams are stockpiling quarterbacks just in case, signing Kellen Clemens to the roster and Matt Gutierrez to the practice squad. Clemens, 28, was released by the Texans on Monday.
Whoever’s taking the snaps will be working with a decimated line. Guard Jacob Bell, who tore the medial collateral ligament in his right knee against the 49ers, joined tackles Jason Smith and Rodger Saffold on injured reserve.
WALDEN CHARGED
Green Bay Packers linebacker Erik Walden has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct-domestic abuse following a fight with his girlfriend on Nov. 25.
Attorney Steve Richards entered a not guilty plea on Walden’s behalf.
Walden spent the Thanksgiving weekend in jail after his girlfriend was treated for injuries at a hospital. Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski said Walden’s girlfriend told police they were arguing and that he pushed her, but she later changed her story to say she hit him first.
