"link\n\nAs third in the line of succession at running back for the Rams, Arlen Harris\n\ncould find himself plopped into the glare of the national-television spotlight.\n\nFirst-teamer Steven Jackson is nursing a hip pointer that, according to interim\n\nhead coach Joe Vitt, has grown worse this week. Jackson's backup, Marshall\n\nFaulk, is battling the flulike illness that has struck many of the players in\n\nrecent weeks.\n\nVitt said the availability of Jackson and Faulk would be determined Sunday,\n\nwhen the Rams (5-10) close their season against the Dallas Cowboys (9-6) at\n\nTexas Stadium.\n\nIt also marks the conclusion of the NFL regular season and, after 19 years, is\n\nthe final Sunday night game to be televised by ESPN. Those telecasts move to\n\nNBC next season.\n\nJackson, who has rushed for 1,046 yards in his second season, was injured two\n\nweeks ago against Philadelphia. He gained just 28 yards in 16 carries last week\n\nvs. San Francisco and didn't practice this week.\n\n\"I thought he'd go today, but he just can't,\" Vitt said Friday.\n\nFaulk stayed away from Rams Park on Thursday. He returned Friday but did only\n\nlimited work at practice.\n\nHarris, who has had only six carries for 6 yards all season, has been working\n\nwith the first unit. He said he's been trying to keep his anticipation level in\n\ncheck.\n\n\"I don't want to get too excited,\" said the 5-foot-10, 212-pound Harris, a\n\nthree-year veteran. \"I'll just wait and see what happens. Whether they go or\n\nnot, I'll be prepared to go out there and give it my best shot.\"\n\nInjury report\n\nJackson was downgraded to questionable on Friday's injury report. Faulk\n\nremained probable."
