Rams " data-canon="St. Louis Rams" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" id="shortcode0"> running back <player idref= Isaiah Pead will practice this week and might play Sunday after serving a one-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. After St. Louis averaged 2.8 yards a carry against Arizona, the door is open for Pead to become a contributor in tandem with Daryl Richardson, reports ESPN.com.
"The opportunity appears to remain for Pead to claim the backup job and be involved in the offense on at least a semi-regular basis," the report said.
Coach Jeff Fisher called the Cardinals' defense stout against the run, but added "we are going to have to run the ball a little bit better as well."
