Three weeks and three days ago, Rams receiver Danny Amendola suffered a collarbone injury that, given the inward movement of the detached bone toward vital body parts, could have been fatal.

Today, Amendola possibly will be playing against the Patriots in London.

Albert Breer of NFL Network reported during GameDay Morning that Amendola will participate in pregame warmups, and that Amendola could play.

Officially, he’s listed as questionable. It’s a designation we assumed Rams coach Jeff Fisher was using primarily to give Pats coach Bill Belichick a taste of his own injury-reporting medicine. Given that Amendola alters the Rams’ offense significantly, the Pats could be caught unprepared if they didn’t spend time factoring Amendola’s possible presence into the planning for this one.
