As the Rams completed their last full-scale practice of the week, all signs point to Austin Davis as the team's starting quarterback Sunday against Dallas.
As has been the case all week, Davis got the vast majority of snaps in Friday's practice and veteran Shaun Hill was limited.
Hill, who is working his way back from a thigh injury suffered in the season opener against Minnesota, will be listed as questionable on the team's injury report later this afternoon
As expected, coach Jeff Fisher played it close to the vest. "It'll be a game-time decision," he said.
Among other injured players, WR/PR Tavon Austin (knee) and FB/TE Cory Harkey (knee) did some work on the side but did not practice. If Harkey can't go, look for Alex Bayer, the undrafted rookie from Bowling Green, to make his NFL debut.
In the case of Tavon Austin, the Rams have newly reactivated Stedman Bailey now available to take up some of those snaps. Austin Pettis is the likely punt returner in Austin's place.
CB Brandon McGee (foot) also did not practice.
With two corners down _ Trumaine Johnson remains sidelined _ the Rams added CB Jemea Thomas to their practice squad. The Georgia Tech product was drafted in the sixth round by New England in May. WR/return Justin Veltung was released from the practice squad to make room for Thomas.
