The Facts:
It appears that running back Faulk's days with the Rams are over -- at least for now. Faulk reportedly will undergo knee surgery next week, which most likely means he will miss the 2006 season. Jay Zygmunt, the Rams' president of football operations, said he talked with Faulk's agent on Thursday, after Faulk had extensive medical examinations this week on the West Coast. The agent, Rocky Arceneaux, indicated Faulk had decided to have another operation, probably some time next week.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Faulk has had surgery on both knees this year, and one hasn't responded. He is able to run straight ahead but suffers swelling after he tries to make cuts. ... We'll continue to follow this one closely and bring you more as developments warrant. In the meantime, Tony Fisher, a free-agent acquisition in the offseason, moves into the No. 2 slot behind Jackson, although the Rams are expected to seek additional help in the backfield with Faulk unavailable.
