The St. Louis Rams have contacted free-agent running back Larry Johnson and plan to have further discussions Monday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, citing a league source.

The Rams are preparing for the absence of running back Steven Jackson, who suffered a groin injury in the second quarter of the Rams 30-16 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo was hopeful that Jackson, who will undergo an MRI exam Monday, could play next week at home against the Seattle Seahawks.

"All the signs kind of say that it's not a tear," Jackson said. "But you never know until the MRI. I'm just praying and hoping that it's not going to be a serious injury, and that I'll be able to come back and not have to sit out a long time."

Johnson, a former Pro Bowler during his time with the Kansas City Chiefs, opened this season with the Washington Redskins, but was cut on Sept. 21.

This smells of RBBC with Darby and Johnson. I think it eliminates real value from either one.

Anyone smart than have predictions?

If you've seen LJ run the past 2 years I doubt it is a RBBC. Im betting he is being called to back darby up.
