From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
The holdout is over for running back Steven Jackson, and with a little luck he could be on the practice field tomorrow.
Jackson's agent, Eugene Parker, informed the Rams on Wednesday
afternoon that Jackson has agreed to report to Rams Park as a show of
good faith in contract negotiations.
According to league sources, the Rams offered a seven-year, $50 million
extension in late July, a deal that included $17 million in guaranteed
money.
"We're glad he's coming in, and we look forward to him being a Ram for
a long time and getting a deal done," Rams president of football operations Jay Zygmunt told the Post-Dispatch on
Wednesday afternoon.

FANTASY TAKE: The signing couldn't come up at a better time for fantasy owners who are getting ready for their drafts this weekend. Jackson was at No. 3 on my board at running back before the holdout and now that he's back in camp he's going to go right back to the spot.
