Player Notes
July 25, 2008
Adam Carriker, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, expects to be cleared soon for full contact in training camp, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:The team will monitor him to see how he feels and reacts, but he believes he should be fine.

Defensive tackle Adam Carriker was a partial participant in Saturday's mini-camp drills. He is recovering from a torn labrum in his shoulder. "It's amazing... Generally with an injury like that, it's four to six months before you can do anything. He'd probably be able to play a game if we had to," head coach Scott Linehan explains to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I think a lot of it has to do with work ethic and want-to. That guy has been busting his butt since the end of the season, and it's really paid off."

Our View:Carriker is a promising young defensive lineman, but it's tough for any tackle to get much love in IDP leagues.

Defensive tackle Adam Carriker is not participating in the Rams' OTA, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Carriker sustained a torn labrum December 30 at Arizona in the final game of the season. But the Rams' first-round draft pick of 2006 has made quick progress, coach Scott Linehan stated. Linehan added, "He's probably coming along faster than anybody. I guess youth is an advantage. He's worked so hard to get himself back and could probably do a lot of things at minicamp. But it's too early to get him involved in anything other than the walk-throughs and individual work."

Our View:Carriker made 30 tackles and two sacks in 2007, and those numbers should improve with prized rookie defensive end Chris Long drawing more attention on the outside.

Rams defensive tackle Adam Carriker will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum muscle in his shoulder. "It's a significant injury; you're looking at sixth months," coach Scott Linehan told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Carriker was the team’s first-round selection last April and had a solid season, especially since he was switched from defensive end to the interior of the line. He’ll miss plenty of offseason activities but should be ready for training camp.
