According to NFL Network’s Stacey Dales, Rams’ RB Steven Jackson is active and will play today vs the Bears.  Jackson’s mysterious second half absence in last week’s win over Washington raised red flags as it was not clear whether the veteran was benched following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty or if he was battling a groin injury.  Regardless, Jackson is active and should see the majority of the touches but because of Daryl Richardson’s effectiveness last week, Jackson is not a reliable fantasy back in Week 3.   Active: Marques Colston Steven Jackson Dexter McCluster Jason Witten Miles Austin   Inactive: Pierre Garcon Matt Forte Aaron Hernandez Rashad Jennings Dustin Keller Kevin Boss Jeremy Maclin Rashard Mendenhall James Harrison Troy Polamalu Fred Jackson   Featured Image: Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images   Article found on: Cosby Sweaters
