Shanle's injury not as serious as feared

The injury scenario Wednesday couldn't have been much better for the Rams.

There was only one addition to the weekly report from last week, a hamstring injury to rookie backup linebacker Scott Shanle. And Shanle's injury is not as serious as the team had feared.

An MRI exam this week showed a pulled left hamstring. Shanle was injured on a kickoff in the second quarter of Sunday's victory over the 49ers, but he expects to miss only this week's game at Seattle.

Shanle joins receiver Kevin Curtis (broken leg), cornerback Kevin Garrett (broken wrist), offensive guard David Loverne (elbow), wide receiver Shaun McDonald (thumb) and cornerback Jason Sehorn (broken foot) on the injury list.

The Rams have no players doubtful or questionable for Sunday.
