Robert Quinn has new son, signs deal with Rams, and a trip to the injury list

Posted Aug 2, 2011
Robert Quinn had quite the eventful weekend. St. Louis' first-round draft pick agreed to a contract on Saturday, but missed the first day of training camp so he could celebrate the birth of his first son. The 6-4, 265-pound defensive end then was placed on the non-football injury list Sunday, sidelined by right knee injury stemming from a workout in North Carolina two months ago. (Durham Herald-Sun)
