The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... Jackson suffered a partially torn groin muscle Sunday in the fourth quarter of the Tampa Bay game. HC Scott Linehan already has ruled out Jackson for next weekend's game in Dallas. "He'll be week-to-week after that," Linehan said. "It's a rest-and-heal type of injury."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Post-Dispatch staffer Jim Thomas, most likely it's at least a two- to three-week injury. Enter Brian Leonard, the second-round draft pick from Rutgers. "No. 23 (Leonard) is going to get his first NFL start," Linehan said. "That's what we're going to do." But as Thomas suggested, replacing Jackson is easier said than done. Jackson led the NFL in yards from scrimmage last season and has become a centerpiece of the Rams' offense -- and that of many Fantasy owners who must now scramble to fill the void.
