St. Louis Rams’ Steven Jackson won’t make trip; to see specialist

When the Rams’ flight to San Francisco leaves this afternoon, Steven Jackson won’t be on it. Jackson, who sat out practice again Friday, is scheduled to see a specialist here in an attempt to learn why his strained thigh muscle, suffered Oct. 19 vs. Dallas, isn’t responding to treatment.

Antonio Pittman will start at running back Sunday vs. the 49ers, with Kenneth Darby and Travis Minor also expected to get some work in the backfield.

Tackle John Greco, who suffered a knee injury in practice Thursday, will miss a day or two. His left kneecap popped out of place briefly, but no damage was done.

All for now . . . more after practice.

Another long-term contract bust for the Rams. Mark Bulger and Steven Jackson need to be traded this year to make room for a true fanchise changing QB and RB. Chip and Jim…..Get rid of this waste!

Maybe a little hip-hop music, a standing ovation and another little bump in pay will get him to come out of it.

He has been working on the injury every day at the Rams practice facilty. He even went on the teams day off. If you haven’t had that injury or played a down in the NFL then you shouldnt be a critic. It’s a team game and the other players are professionals and if they give 100% effort for four quarters they will win the game. But if you are losing please dont smile during the game on the sideline like it doesnt matter.

There is a lot more wrong with this team than just one player, or even two. Even when Jackson played we got beaten badly. Bulger is gun shy, Holt has lost a step, the other receivers are young, the defense isn’t playing up to potential, we never use our TE that we drafted in the 2nd round, etc…. don’t blame it all on Jackson, even if he is a sissy.
