12:32 PM ET 10.08 | Injuries are starting to pile up for the surprising St. Louis Rams. The team lost Danny Amendola, it's top wide receiver, to a separated clavicle in a rough and tumble Week 5 over the Arizona Cardinals. Amendola is not the only player to suffer an injury in that game. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Wide receiver Danny Amendola will miss anywhere from a month to two months with a separated SC joint ??? the joint where the collarbone meets the breastbone in the middle of the chest. Strong safety Quintin Mikell could miss the Miami game with a concussion. The availability of core special teams players Brit Miller (ankle) and Mario Haggan (thigh) is uncertain."

They are piling up.

It's pro football.

There do seem to be a lot of injuries. Once again, is it the new low-contact practice rules from the CBA? I think that certainly was the cause of some of the sloppy play we saw in the fist couple of games. But, it's also a factor in conditioning. Walk-throughs and no-pads days can teach something, but they are no substitute for contact. An hour of head-to-head line practice will do more for you, and in a better way, than the same amount of time in the weight room.

I believe you are onto something. If you job is to hit and or get hit, walk throughs don't get it

I read where Amendola's pretty messed up, his clavicle pushed under his sternum and almost punctured his aorta, he could have died on the spot.... Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
