St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will end his holdout on Thursday while his agent, Eugene Parker, negotiates a new contract.
Jackson had notified the team of his intentions and was scheduled to arrive in St. Louis from his home in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
A new contract for Jackson, who has one year remaining on his rookie deal, appears imminent given that the Rams refused to negotiate with Parker as long as Jackson was not in camp. Jackson, on the other hand, had been adamant about not playing this year without a new long-term contract.
Good for the Rams, Hopfully he can stay healthy all year.
