Rams Vs. Jaguars: Game Time, TV Schedule, Roster Update And More
Pro Bowl running back Maurice Jones-Drew makes his preseason debut as the Jacksonville Jaguars host the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night.
”I can’t wait to go out there in a live period to see what it’s like and take a couple of hits, get tackled hopefully and get ready for Week 1,” Jones-Drew said this week via the Florida Times-Union.
Starters for the Rams are expected to play about a quarter tonight, with the focus of the night falling on the players fighting for spots at the back of the roster. No position on the Rams is more up for grabs than wide receiver, with 2011 mid-round picks Austin Pettis (third round) and Greg Salas (fourth round) fighting with second-year receivers Mardy Gilyard and Danario Alexander for spots on the 53-man roster.
