The Facts:
Jackson missed his fourth day of St. Louis Rams training camp Monday. The holdout running back is keeping in touch, though. HC Scott Linehan hasn't spoken with Jackson since Wednesday. Instead, he's been text-messaging with a player apparently eager for updates while making a stand for a new contract.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Coming off his third consecutive 1,000-yard season despite missing four games last year, Jackson is entering the final year of a deal he signed after the Rams took him in the first round of the 2004 draft. "I see how he's doing and what he's doing," Linehan said. "Obviously, we've got to take care of this first, but I just kind of let him know where we're at, and some of the things that are going on. ... He's real focused on what's going on in camp, his head's definitely in the right place." His body, however, is not. ... For the record, the coach also said Jay Zygmunt, the team's president of football operations, again reported no progress. "We talk about it all the time, and there's really nothing new to add," Linehan said.
