I guess this pretty much confirms what the talk I was hearing around town earlier in the week.

Bulger hurt in Week 2 so team works around injury

ST. LOUIS -- Though he's playing with two broken ribs, Marc Bulger has no problem with opening up the St. Louis Rams' dormant offense.

The 0-3 Rams had a multitude of safe plays last week to limit wear and tear on their quarterback, who was hurt in Week 2 when the Panthers sacked him six times. The result: Bulger was sacked only once, but the Rams couldn't score in a 24-3 loss to the Buccaneers.
