ST. LOUIS -- Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman injured his left ankle early in the second quarter of Friday night's preseason game against the St. Louis Rams and was carted off the field.
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.
