ST. LOUIS — Marc Bulger is the St. Louis Rams' starting quarterback again in one of Jim Haslett's first moves as their new coach.

Backup Trent Green started Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Scott Linehan's final game as coach. Bulger was back with the starters in practice Tuesday. He is the highest paid player in franchise history.

Haslett was elevated from defensive coordinator Monday. He says Bulger will be the starter the rest of the season. The winless Rams have a bye this week.

Bulger will be losing one of his targets, tight end Randy McMichael, for perhaps the rest of the year. McMichael sustained a broken tibia Sunday and Haslett said he'll be out at least eight weeks.

The Rams are considering placing McMichael on injured reserve.

Cornerback Tye Hill underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair cartilage damage to his right knee and will be sidelined three to four games, Haslett said.
