Steven Jackson: Playing Through Pain -  11/30/2009 9:43:45 AM

Update:
Jackson (back spasms) acknowledged that he played through pain on Sunday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "Absolutely. It bothers me now," he said, after a game in which he carried 23 times for 89 yards with a touchdown and caught five passes for 27 yards.

Recommendation:
Jackson, who went into Sunday as a game-time decision, "was legitimately hurt throughout the week, not ready to play," coach Spagnuolo said. We'd expect the Rams to take it easy with Jackson at practice this week, but so far this seems like an issue he plans to play through.
