NFL: Rams' Jackson out 1 week with groin injury
Advertiser Staff
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 winless Rams learned about Jackson a day after guard Mark Setterstrom was lost for the season with a torn left knee ligament and cartilage damage. Already out is seven-time Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Pace, who injured his shoulder in the opener.
