Bailey's recent performances have bordered on invisible and this suspension will not help his cause for getting additional reps once he finds the field.Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt should get increased looks without Bailey in the lineup. This certainly didn't come as a shock to the Rams who were working out the likes of Wes Welker, Hakeem Nicks, and Vincent Brown on Monday.
