ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Kurt Warner, who is 0-6 as the St. Louis Rams' starting quarterback this season, has a broken right hand and he will miss at least his club's next two games.
At coach Mike Martz's request, Warner had an X-ray on his hand performed Monday that showed a hairline fracture.
A two-time MVP, Warner appeared to have trouble gripping the ball in Sunday's 10-3 loss at Philadelphia. He threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in the defeat that all but ended any playoff aspirations the Rams had.
Sunday's game was Warner's second start since he returned from a broken pinky on his right hand that sidelined him for five games. The Rams (5-7) are not sure when the latest injury occured.
Warner, who won 35 of his first 43 career starts, has been abysmal in seven games this season, throwing three touchdown passes and 11 interceptions.
Martz said Monday that third-stringer Jamie Martin will start this week's game at Kansas City, with Marc Bulger, who is 5-0 as a starter this season , being the backup. Bulger has been hampered by a sprained index finger on his right hand.
The Rams also will be without their best offensive lineman as perennial Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Pace could miss up to three weeks with a torn hamstring. He was injured in the first quarter on Sunday.
