St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson set the franchise rushing record over the weekend -- despite playing with a broken finger. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Jackson had surgery on his left ring finger Monday. The Rams said two pins were put into the finger, and his status for this Sunday's home game against Carolina was unknown. Spagnuolo says Jackson broke the finger during Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, a game in which he broke Eric twinkyerson's all-time Rams rushing record. The coach says Jackson simply kept playing. "He didn't think it was a big deal," Spagnuolo said. "He kept playing. ... He's going to be sore. Hopefully, he'll be able to play this week. We'll know more after he gets through it. ... He's just a warrior. He goes out and plays and we find out later on there's a crack in there." Source: Associated Press
