Rams' Brian Quick healthy scratch again for Week 2

St. Louis Rams' wide receiver Brian Quick is inactive for Week 2 against the Redskins.

What It Means:

It's the second week in a row that Quick is healthy, but inactive. We have to wonder whether there's more to his injury recovery than what head coach Jeff Fisher is sharing with the public. If not, he's making a horrible mistake; Quick is much better than inconsistent speed receiver Tavon Austin. Stedman Bailey will likely slot into the starting lineup in his stead.

Before his 2014 season was derailed by a labrum tear in his shoulder, Quick was well on his way to a breakout. Among receivers with 35 or more targets, Quick's 0.81 per-play Reception Net Expected Points from last year ranked 19th. Austin, on the other hand, was tied for second-to-last in this metric.
