Faulk's knee surgery scheduled for Wednesday

September 23, 2003

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk will have surgery Wednesday to repair cartilage in his right knee.

The injury has bothered Faulk off and on since training camp. He already was expected to miss four to six weeks after breaking two broken bones in his left hand Sunday at Seattle.

The knee surgery will not cause him to miss any additional time.

In the Rams' first three gams, Faulk ran for 116 yards with only 2.8 yards per carry. He also had 12 catches for 66 yards. Faulk had 15 carries for 31 yards before leaving early in the third quarter of St. Louis' 24-23 loss to Seattle.

Lamar Gordon will start in place of Faulk Sunday against Arizona.link' (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-rams-faulk&prov=ap&type=lgns)
