Rams coach Jim Haslett said Monday that Steven Jackson won't play vs. the Bears in Week 12, ruling him out much sooner than he ruled him out in previous weeks. "They feel that he should be out this week and we should rest him," Haslett said referring to his medical staff. "We will see what happens next week." Haslett also said that Jackson got a second opinion on his thigh strain and got the same diagnosis. "(Jackson) has a strain with a little bit of blood in it and it is going to take some time to heal," the coach said. "He thought that he should take some time off also and let it heal and rest. I just go with the people that understand that. The trainers, I trust their judgment." (Updated 11/17/2008)

Rams defensive end Claude Wroten was suspended without pay for the season on Wednesday for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Wroten, entering his third season with the Rams, was suspended for four games last season. His draft stock fell in 2006 when he was stopped for speeding and police discovered marijuana in the vehicle. The charge of possession with intent to distribute was dropped, but he also failed a drug test at the NFL combine. (Updated 07/24/2008)
