  Rams | Lacking experience at CB    Tue Oct 11, 11:12 PM

The St. Louis Rams head into their Week 6 road game against the Green Bay Packers with just CBs Al Harris, Justin King and Roderick Hood healthy. Hood has been with the team for just two games. CB Josh Gordy might also be active, and he has played four games in the NFL. CB Brian Jackson was signed Monday, Oct. 10, and he played mostly on special teams last season with the New York Giants. 'So somewhere in there, we're going to have to find us two corners, obviously to play in the base package,' head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. 'And another one to play in any kind of nickel or dime package.'

Footballguys view: Aaron Rodgers will have to try to do something like throw a TD off of the helmet of a Ram to keep this contest challenging.
