Links from St. Louis on the Rams leading into Sunday's game:

Will running back Steven Jackson (thigh) be ready for Sunday's game? Given that he's the team's leading rusher and receiver, it's the top question facing the Rams. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, led by venerable sports editor Reid Laymance, reports on the latest. The Belleville News-Democrat also reports on Jackson expecting to play.

A Post-Dispatch columnist looks at the impact of interim head coach Jim Haslett, who has helped turn the team's fortunes around.

The Rams had been having trouble selling tickets to home games, but things are looking up, the Post-Dispatch reports.

The Belleville News-Democrat, in a notebook, details Orlando Pace's return to practice and defensive end James Hall playing some defensive tackle.

The "Around the Horns" blog on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website notes that rookie Chris Long, the No. 2 overall selection in the draft, regularly talks with his father Howie Long about the Xs and Os of the game.

Left tackle Orlando Pace is primed to return to action after missing last week's game with a thigh injury, the Post-Dispatch reports.

The Post-Dispatch also devotes a notebook to the Patriots, with a focus on Normandy High graduate Laurence Maroney out for the season.
