Rams RB Steven Jackson remains a holdout from camp as he eyes
News: Rams RB Steven Jackson remains a holdout from camp as he eyes a new contract, but when he is ready to return, head coach Scott Linehan will incorporate him into the game plan "right away."

"There's still a lot of time and he got a lot of good work in the offseason and has a good grasp of what were doing offensively. It's just a matter of getting him in that football shape. It is getting critical to where time now becomes more of an issue for just the physical part of getting ready for the opener. Every day we miss now, I know he's working hard and I know he's training and he'll be in very good shape when he does get in, but it does start to factor in as to what the work load will be from the start."
