Donnie Avery returns to practice

When Rams wideout Donnie Avery fractured a bone in his foot 18 days ago, the team was concerned that he could miss the season opener or more.

On Tuesday, Avery made a surprise return to team drills at practice that would appear to put those worries to rest.

"Like I tell my teammates, you know, I run fast but I heal faster," Avery said.

Reports indicate that Avery looked quick as ever while scoring a pair of touchdowns on the Rams' scout team.  

"Yeah, my hands still work," Avery said. "My feet still work."

The Rams probably won't risk playing Avery in the preseason, but the team's top receiver says there are "zero doubts" that he'll be ready for Week One.

Now the Rams just need to get Marc Bulger back on the field, and they can have the explosive acceptable passing attack they were hoping for.

    Dear Mr. Rosenthal,
    Can you please give lessons to the other writers on the site on how to write like Florio? Of all the other writers he's brought in, you're the only one who has nailed the style and tone that define PFT. Plus Rotoworld helped me win two FF championships and I have bragging rights over my brother in law for all time. Or until one of us dies from liver failure on draft day.
    Thanks.

    Is Avery Wolverine? Swear, he's got some mutant healing abilities.

    God, 18 days from a broken bone in his foot!? I mean, you use your foot all the time, and for it to heal that quick, good for the Rams.

    Dear Donnie,

    Please sprinkle some of that magic dust on Chaz Schillens' foot.

    P.S.

    I WILL kill you if you don't.
