I don't think I've ever taken an athlete's word for it, but Steven Jackson is convinced his light schedule at practice—designed to rest his balky knee—is no big deal. St. Louis Rams fans and fantasy football owners would be happy in equal measure to believe that.

Right now he's listed as probable. I've just heard so much crap from athletes, though. I'd feel better if he'd said something like, "Oh, my knee is fine, don't worry about it. Now, my back—you've definitely got to worry about that. Thing could go at any moment."
