S-Jax sits out Wednesday with back spasms

Steven Jackson - RB - STL - Nov. 25 - 3:35 p.m. ET

 

Steven Jackson missed Rams practice Wednesday with back spasms.

The Rams usually list players that miss full practices as questionable on the final injury report, but Jackson seems confident that he'll face Seattle, saying he's "expecting to play Sunday." "Hopefully it’ll release a little bit and allow me to practice," the workhorse added. "It’s just one of those things where you’ve got to wait it out." Check back later this week for an update.

Rams Optimistic About Jackson

Posted >Thu, November 26, 2009 01:20

by Nick Wagoner - First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Rams fans out there. I can safely say I am thankful for all of you who so passionately follow the team, come the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday, write in to the mailbag and make this job so much fun. Thank you.

 

- The Rams wrapped up practice Thursday with the same cast of characters on the sideline with injuries save for punter Donnie Jones. Jones returned to the practice field after an illness set him aside on Wednesday.

 

- Running back Steven Jackson remains on the sideline with back spasms. He did not practice but coach Steve Spagnuolo remains optimistic that Jackson will be available this weekend against Seattle.

 

- "Steven is a warrior. He's not there yet. There's still a little bit of spasm there. We don't want to take any chances and he hasn't practiced. I guess it could go either way but I guess I am thinking positive because of who he is."
