Pettis practiced Wednesday for the first time since serving his two-game suspension. Fisher said (via The St. Louis Post Dispatch) that Pettis had clearly been studying the playbook and was ready to play if the Rams needed him. St. Louis faces the Chicago Bears in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: It would be hard to imagine Pettis making too much of an impact this week, but he could get an opportunity to earn playing time for the Rams as the season goes along.
