Saint Louis Rams: CB Bradley Fletcher out for the Season

According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Rams cornerback Bradley Fletcher is out for the season after tearing his ACL in a bye-week practice.

According to AP, the injury occurred during a one-on-one drill with Fletcher covering St. Louis WR Mike Sims-Walker. Sims-Walker was also hurt on the play, but the extent of his injury is not yet known.

Fletcher, a starter for the Rams, was drafted in the third round of the 2009 draft out of Iowa. He has 22 tackles in the Rams' first four games. 

This is yet another blow for a Rams team that is already among the most banged-up in the league. Earlier today, word came out that WR Danny Amendola is likely out for the year as well.

The fact that Fletcher went down during a bye week practice will only gall Rams fans more. It's a nightmare start to Steve Spagnuolo's second year on the job.
