Here’s more bad news for Rams fans and Steven Jackson owners.
Coach Jim Haslett on Monday declared running back Steven Jackson as out for the Rams’ game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday.
Haslett said the Rams’ medical staff recommend that Jackson, who has already missesd three of the Rams’ last four games, sit out this week.
“They feel he should be out this week, and rest him, and see what happens next week,’’ Haslett said.
Jackson, who has a strained quadriceps muscle in his right leg, got a second opinoin on his injury from a St. Louis physician over the weekend.
“He had a second opinion in town, and the doctor kind of told him the same thing we were telling him,’’ Haslett said. “He has a strain with a little bit of blood in it, and it’s going to take some time to heal. He thought he should take some time off also, let it rest.’’
It looks like we’ll be seeing the Antonio Pittman show for the foreseeable future. Other than a couple of tough matchups in Week 12 (CHI) and Week 14 (ARI), Pittman has a pretty decent schedule down the stretch (assuming Jackson continues to miss time).
