October 13, 2008 Rams rookie wideout Keenan Burton is expected to be back for the team when they take on the Cowboys this week, according to the Belleville News-Democrat.
Our View:Burton had been out after knee surgery. His return is a positive thing for the team, as they need all the speed they can get at receiver. Don't expect him to make much of a fantasy impact immediately, however.
October 7, 2008 Rams rookie wide receiver Keenan Burton returned to practice after missing the last four games due to knee surgery, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:Burton, a fourth-round selection, likely won't be back this week, but could make his return to the team Week 7. He played well in the preseason, but still is not worthy of a spot on fantasy rosters at the moment.
September 25, 2008 Rams rookie wide receiver Keenan Burton is on the mend after undergoing knee surgery and could be back by the team's Week 6 contest against the Redskins, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

September 16, 2008 Rookie wide receiver Keenan Burton underwent knee surgery Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus cartilage. The fourth-round draft pick from Kentucky will be sidelined until a week after the Oct. 5 bye week, according to head coach Scott Linehan.
Our View:Burton suffered the injury in Week 1 and had to have the knee drained. The rookie did not play much in Week 2. Dane Looker will likely see more snaps as a result.
September 15, 2008 Wide receiver Keenan Burton will undergo an MRI to see if he has torn cartilage in his knee. "He does have what we think is a torn meniscus," head coach Scott Linehan informs the Belleville News-Democrat. Burton suffered the injury in Week 1 and had to have the knee drained. The rookie did not play much in Week 2.
Our View:Surgery would sideline the rookie for a few weeks. With Drew Bennett also out, the Rams are looking thin at receiver and may find more time for Dane Looker and Donnie Avery.
