Rams coach Jeff Fisher has repeatedly said Brian Quick's absence isn't related to his shoulder but is more a function of making the game-day numbers work with special teams.
Fisher said earlier this week that Quick hasn't been ruled out for this week's game against Pittsburgh, but chances are Quick will have to remain patient for at least another week.
“It’s like anybody that’s missed a significant part of the offseason program and was limited in training camp, you’re going to be a little bit behind," Fisher said. "That’s his only issue. So I’d like to think he’s caught up by this point.”
Quick's case is curious since he was far and away the team's best receiver for the first part of the season in 2014 and according to everyone involved, he's completely healthy. He's worth a stash in larger formats, but it may be a while before he works his way into the starting lineup.
