There is some reason for hope that Rams' RB Steven Jackson may be able to make it back for Week 13's action. The Rams are reeling right now and could really use a spark.  Jackson (thigh) was able to run during workouts on Saturday and Monday, and Haslett was optimistic that he would able to participate in practice on Wednesday.

“I’m optimistic, but I’m not really sure what that means because we’ve said that for the last three or four weeks, but he did look good Saturday and today running,’’ Haslett told the Belleview News Democrat.

Jackson has had a disappointing season after missing most of the preseason in a contract holdout. He has only carried the ball seven times since Week 7's blowup against the Cowboys and has just 4 TD's in seven games this season.

He clearly has the talent to be an elite runner, but the past two seasons have shown durability is a defiinite concern. Look for Antonio Pittman to continue to get the start if Jackson continues to miss time. Stay tuned to see how he fares in practice throughout the week.
