Haslett: Jackson should be ready for Pats
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
An MRI exam Monday on Rams running back Steven Jackson disclosed what coach Jim Haslett termed a “slight strain” of his thigh. Jackson will be limited in practice this week, but “should be fine for the game” Sunday at New England, Haslett said.
Backup safety Todd Johnson had the most serious injury in Sunday’s 34-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He bruised a kidney and is hospitalized. He’ll miss a couple of games, Haslett said.
Defensive tackle Adam Carriker suffered a sprain low on his left ankle and is questionable for Sunday’s game.
Wide receiver Derek Stanley was checked out at a hospital after he sustained a concussion but didn’t spend the night there.
All for now . . .
Glad to hear Jackson will be ready. Hopefully Carriker will be back also.
WHEWWWWW!
RIP Coach Magoo. There’s a new sherriff in town.
I can’t wait to see SJ run all over the Pats next week. I know he has his ‘haters’ out there, but he certainly is an electrifying player when the players around him are giving it their best.
Thats great news because the Ram offense was begining to get a rhythim. The Patriots must run the ball to take some pressure of of Matt Cassell so a healthy Ram D Line is critical. Hopefully the Rams will continue to rotate the D Linemen inorder to keep them fresh. GO RAMS!!!
He was just starting to run more assertively. Heal SJ. If we get a big game on defense this week then this game is ours. Is it my imagination or are Pisa and the safeties running around with more purpose?
I am glad to see the Rams playing with the WILL to win a game…OJ Atogwe is really stepping up for the corners…continue the good play fellas…IM defending yall every week…..RAMS FAN overseas!!!
We dodged a bullet there…Jackson was in the game longer than he needed to be…Prior to his injury I was screaming at the television for Haslet to take his foot off the gas peddal and to start pulling some of his starters out the game…
Oh, gee whiz! A bruised kidney?! I’m glad Derek Stanley is ok…Even though that shot on him was legal; it was still kind of dirty to blind-side him like that…
