The Facts:
The Rams have only one Pro Bowl player on their roster and that player, Jackson, is coming off back surgery. So the Rams absolutely, positively need Jackson healthy and contributing at his normal level. That's why the team had to be encouraged when Jackson passed his physical examination heading into training camp. "The back is fully healed," Jackson told reporters at Rams camp Saturday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jackson went on to explain, "We really worked hard this offseason to make sure the durability will still be there. I can still run in the natural way I'm used to running. I don't have to adjust my style for anything. I think it's more so just getting my feet underneath me again, making the cuts I'm able to make and working on the field of vision. ..." Jackson also said he would be more apt to aggravate the disk injury through non-football activities such as traveling or heavy squat lifting than through getting tackled during games or practices. "The football, the hitting -- I'm not worried about it," Jackson said. "I'll be ready to go. ..." Good news for the Rams. Good news for Fantasy owners.
