[Rams] Rams Activate RB Chris Ogbonnaya To The 53-Man Roster

In a sure sign of concern over Steven Jackson’s availability for Sunday’s home game against Seattle, the St. Louis Rams have promoted rookie running back Chris Ogbonnaya to the active roster from the practice squad. Ogbonnaya, a seventh-round draft pick from the University of Texas, got some practice reps with the No. 1 offense late in the week. On Saturday, as the Rams’ completed their walk-through at Rams Park, Jackson’s condition was described as status quo - no change.

I doubt he'll see much action but I believe he's a much better long term option than Gado or Darby.

Let's break down the touches among the running backs...

Steven Jackson, 250 Touches
Kenneth Darby, 15 Touches
Samkon Gado, 13 Touches

yeahhh... I think Ogbonnaya adds a receiving dimension that the others don't. He caught alot of balls at Texas and was a reliable target in the passing game.
