St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson is most likely going to miss this Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. This will be his third absence in four weeks.Jackson has struggled mightily along with the rest of his team this season. His only solid game came in a week seven upset of the Dallas Cowboys. Jackson ran like a man possessed in the game, going for 160 yards and 3 TDs on only 25 carries.
The Rams are in rough shape this season, but let's look at the bright side. They're tied for second place in their division and a win this weekend coupled with a Seattle loss will put them in sole possession behind the Cardinals. The flip side is they're also tied for last place in the division and are flounder at 2-7, way out of the playoff picture.
Back to the bright side, this is the only team the Rams can compete with on a personnel level. These are two evenly matched teams and the Rams could easily claim a W, but it's going to be a much tougher fight without Jackson in the backfield.
