St. Louis, MO -- (Sports Network) - St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson started Sunday's 16-12 loss against the Miami Dolphins.

Jackson, who had missed four of the past five games, was listed as questionable for the game as he has been battling a strained right thigh muscle. He had 21 carries for 94 yards and added a 16-yard catch.

Jackson was hurt during the October 19 game against Dallas, despite rushing for 160 yards and three touchdowns, then missed two of the Rams' next three games, including last Sunday's 47-3 blowout loss to the New York Jets.
