Rams HC Jeff Fisher told reporters that they will consider the idea of possibly signing multiple quarterbacks this week now thatย Sam Bradfordย is out for the season with a torn ACL.

โ€œIt is a possibility, yes,โ€ Fisher said, via Pro Football Talk.ย  โ€œThere is a possibility we will bring a number of prospects in, and there is a good possibility we will sign more than one, yes.ย  So, we would then have to make a roster move, but those are kinds of things weโ€™re discussing now.โ€

The list of quarterbacks coming in for a tryout on Tuesday includes:ย David Carr,ย John Skelton,ย Brady Quinn,ย ย Tylger Thigpenย andย Matt Leinart
