Harrah Is Out at Least 4 More Weeks After Aggravating Injury in Ram Drill

All-Pro right guard Dennis Harrah of the Rams was put on the injured-reserve list Thursday after aggravating a thigh injury Wednesday. He will be out of action for at least four more weeks.

Harrah returned to practice and full-contact drills earlier this week after tearing a muscle in his left thigh Sept. 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been expected to start Sunday against Minnesota at Anaheim Stadium.

“A stupid move,” he said. “They told me to take it easy, but I was a little bullheaded. I jumped into a drill I shouldn’t have been doing and now I’m paying for it the next four weeks.”

In less than a week, the Rams have lost Harrah as well as Russ Bolinger, his replacement during his original two-game absence. Bolinger broke his left arm during last Sunday’s victory over the Atlanta Falcons and is out for the season.

Tackle Irv Pankey moved to right guard Sunday when Bolinger was hurt and will continue to play there, sharing time with free agent Tony Slaton, a second-year lineman from USC. Coach John Robinson said the Rams will also probably activate UCLA rookie Duval Love for Sunday’s game.
