What amazing luck they are having. All we need is Bugler to officially be seriously hurt and the entire team can fold.

U n b e l i e v a b l e. :x

Brian Leonard, young man, do your best (and don't get yourself added to the injury list).


PS: when did SJ's injury happen?

[RealRam]

Where the heck did I put that brolly*

Looks like a Rams helmet would be more protective. :x


*. - Brolly - an umbrella. Had to look it up. :-)

I hate to say this, but does it really matter? Jackson is having a terrible year. BTW, what kind of strength and conditioning coach do the Rams have??? The staggering amount of injuries so far is rediculous!!

Fire Linehan, its just a bad year boys. Nick who do we take with the first pick?:x

[RealRam]

Did it happen during the Bucs game or during practice...

[SJackson39]

omg another injury. This cannot be happening. Leonard has to step up now. Lets see what he can do.

[RamsFan16]

Yea definately confirmed. The Rams texted me on my phone telling me so.

The Strenght and Conditioning coach is terrible.


Wow.

Rams running back Jackson out with partial groin tear
Associated Press


ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will miss at
least one week with a partial tear of his left groin, an injury
sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-3 loss at Tampa Bay.

Rookie Brian Leonard, a second-round pick from Rutgers, will get his
first start Sunday at Dallas. Coach Scott Linehan said Jackson would be
week to week.

The 0-3 Rams learned they lost Jackson a day after guard Mark
Setterstrom was lost for the season with a torn left knee ligament and
cartilage damage. Setterstrom is the second lineman the Rams have lost
this season, after seven-time Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Pace injured his
shoulder in the opener.

"We have players here who can step up," Linehan said. "My challenge is
to get them to do that."

Linehan said Jackson, who had 115 yards on 30 carries, was hurt making
a cut. He said Jackson stayed in the game for a while after being hurt
but said it was "noticeable" that Jackson was injured.

"Second" lineman? Right.
