Associated Press
ST. LOUIS � The St. Louis Rams will be without No. 1 wide receiver Donnie Avery for 4-6 weeks because of a stress fracture in his left foot.
The injury could mean Avery will miss the first two regular season games. He was hurt in Friday�s scrimmage.
Avery became the Rams� top receiver when After Torry Holt left as a free agent in the offseason. The second-year player had 53 catches for 674 yards as a rookie.
Keenan Burton, Ronald Curry and Laurent Robinson are among those competing for a starting job at wide receiver, along with veteran Tim Carter and rookie Brooks Foster.
