The Facts: The team is expanding its search for a backup running back behind Pro Bowler Steven Jackson. The Rams are talking with Brown.

Diehards Line:According to Post-Dispatch staffer Jim Thomas, the Rams are believed also to be talking with Indianapolis RB Joseph Adda, who might be a little harder to land now that Peyton Manning accepted a smaller contract in order to help the Colts keep some of their free-agent talent (Addai was on his list). Atlanta's Jason Snelling remains on the radar as well.
