It appears that nothing has changed in the Rams’ backfield situation. At practice this morning (indoors), Kenneth Darby and Samkon Gado are getting the reps with the first team. Steven Jackson (thigh) wasn’t even at practice, at least in the early going. Antonio Pittman (hamstring) is doing some running. Travis Minor (concussion) is just watching.

After practice, here’s what coach Jim Haslett said to reporters about Jackson:

Q.: Will Jackson play Sunday?

Haslett: “We’ll find out tomorrow. If he doesn’t go tomorrow, he won’t go in the game on Sunday.”

Q. How do RBs Kenneth Darby and RB Sam Gado look?

Haslett: “I think they’re doing well. We’ll see in the game, that’ll be the test, but I think they work hard, they’re both smart guys, they run hard and I’m excited about watching them work this week.”

Jackson also spoke to reporters after practice.

Q.: Is it realistic that you can practice this week?

Jackson: “A full practice, probably not, to be honest with you. I am surely hoping that I come in tomorrow and something miraculous happens, and I can come in and give a full practice because that is what (Haslett) wants. I have had a discussion with him but I was unable to do it today.”

Q.: Is the injury getting better?

Jackson: “It is getting better, but with a hamstring, a quad or groin, those kinds of injuries, one day you feel great and the next day the slightest tweak could really set you back. That is what I am dealing with right now. One day I feel great, I feel like I can go and when it is time for me to show and prove that I am ready, it is just not responding the way we want it to.”
