PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : RAMS : LaChapelle Injured in Fit of Anger

Wide receiver Sean LaChapelle will miss Sunday’s game at New Orleans because of a sprained right wrist. LaChapelle, a rookie from UCLA, was injured when he pounded the ground in anger after dropping a pass in Thursday’s practice.

LaChapelle finished practice, but sat out Friday’s workout after the wrist swelled Thursday night.

“It was stupid,” LaChapelle said. “But it taught me one thing--if I catch the ball, I won’t be mad enough to hit the ground.”
