Stedman Bailey: Pursuing comeback
Stedman Bailey, who postponed his playing career after being shot twice in the head during a Nov. 24, 2015 incident, is pursuing an NFL comeback, Grant Taylor of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports. The wideout took part in Marshall University's pro day workout, which featured several scouts in attendance.Bailey was in the midst of his third professional season with the Rams before his involvement in the nearly fatal incident, which kept him in critical condition in a medically induced coma for a spell. The wideout improved after being treated by doctors and was cleared to run routes on the field just five months later, but that wasn't enough to draw interest from teams after the Rams released him in June 2016. Now nearly two and a half years removed from the serious brain injury and with a metal plate now inserted into his skull to offer protection against the head trauma inherent in football, Bailey feels ready to get back on the field and show talent evaluators he still has something left in the tank. If the 27-year-old does end up signing with a team, expect any deal to contain very little guaranteed money.

Unfortunately, his release from the team suggests the Rams don't believe his playing career can continue much longer, if at all.

Rams' Stedman Bailey: Running routes
Stedman Bailey (head), who finished the 2015 season on the Rams' reserve/non-football injury list, posted a video of himself on Tuesday running routes, ESPN.com reports.While it is encouraging to see Bailey, who was shot twice in the head on Nov. 24, progress to the point that he is able to run routes, the 25-year-old's football future remains uncertain. With that in mind, coach Jeff Fisher noted last month that Bailey "is currently in the evaluation process, seeking numerous opinions from neurologists and the like...just to see if he can not only play but continue with a rigorous physical rehab program that will put him in position to play."

Rams' Stedman Bailey: Leads Rams receivers versus Packers
Stedman Bailey caught three of his five targets for a team-high 73 receiving yards in Sunday's game against the Packers.The third-year wideout registered a season-high in yardage and catches, but he was not heavily targeted, as the St. Louis Rams employed a run-heavy approach for much of the game. Bailey has emerged as a factor in the St. Louis passing game, but his inconsistent usage really hampers his usability in fantasy terms.
