Steven Jackson carries full load

Back spasms had troubled RB Steven Jackson since last Sunday's game, and he didn't practice all week. After doing some stretching and light running, Jackson gave a thumbs-up to observers on the sideline, returned to the locker room and began pulling on his pads.

"We really didn't know if I was going to feel like I could play a whole game," Jackson said after Seattle knocked off the Rams 27-17. "When I went out there, I felt like I could."

But not at full capacity. "We knew that I wasn't going to be a hundred percent," Jackson said. Just in case, coach Steve Spagnuolo moved rookie running back Chris Ogbonnaya to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Saturday.

Jackson "was legitimately hurt throughout the week, not ready to play," Spagnuolo said. "But he's a warrior and a trouper. He said he could do it, so we trusted him. Once he gave the nod, we were good."
