The Rams got a lineup bonus when running back Steven Jackson was able to play Sunday despite missing the entire practice week with a groin injury. But they didn't get much out of their running game in a 23-6 loss to the Bears.

Jackson tested the groin about two hours before kickoff under the watchful eyes of coach Jeff Fisher, running back coach Ben Sirmans and the Rams' training and medical staff.

"I gave them confidence that I could go and lead this team emotionally and be the starter at running back," Jackson said. "I felt that I could go. I felt that I wasn't going to further injure myself and make myself more susceptible to missing games. Came out of this clean. I just wish that I could've been more productive and helped my team win."

Jackson finished with only 29 yards on 11 carries, with a long run of 13 yards in the third quarter that helped set up the second of two Greg Zuerlein field goals.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
