gg Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2132968 ST. LOUIS -- Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman broke his left ankle early in the second quarter of Friday night's preseason game against the St. Louis Rams and will be sidelined three to four months. Grossman, who played in only three games last season before being sidelined by a right knee injury, was hurt with 11:08 to go in the half as he threw a pass. After being flushed out of the pocket and being spun around by Trev Faulk, he got back to his feet. While limping, Grossman signaled for a trainer. He then sat down and grabbed his left knee. He slammed his helmet on the cart before he left the game. The Bears used four quarterbacks last year and have used at least three in six of seven seasons. Grossman was 6-for-11 for 52 yards before leaving the scoreless game. He was replaced by Chad Hutchinson. The Bears used four quarterbacks last year and have used at least three in six of seven seasons. They could be stuck in a similar predicament this year given that backup Chad Hutchinson is unproven. General manager Jerry Angelo said in the offseason that he was committed to having a veteran backup on board, but the team passed on Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson and Jay Fiedler. Grossman was 6-for-11 for 52 yards before leaving the scoreless game. He was replaced by Hutchinson, who led the Bears to their only first-half score on the same drive.
