The Facts:
The Rams held their initial team meeting of training camp this morning without two key members of their offense -- Jackson and wide receiver Donnie Avery. That makes Jackson, who is entering the final year of his original NFL contract, officially a holdout.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The good news, according to Post-Dispatch staffer Jim Thomas, is that team officials held discussions late into the night Thursday on a contract extension with Jackson's agent, Eugene Parker, and the hope is that Jackson will be on hand sooner rather than later. The Rams also worked into the wee hours Thursday night and Friday morning on a deal for Avery, a second-round draft pick in April and the first wide receiver taken in the draft. All indications are that the Avery deal will be done soon. Thomas added the Rams' first practice of training camp doesn't take place until later today, so there's a chance one or both of the absent players will be on the practice field by then.
