Earlier today, TMZ.com reported that running back Steven Jackson has been accused of assaulting a former girlfriend, who was nine months pregnant at the time of the incident.
Jackson has yet to issue a response, but his team has.
Said Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo, in a statement distributed via e-mail: “We are aware of the situation involving Steven Jackson. We are in the process of gathering information. We are always concerned with issues involving our players.”
The allegations appeared in a criminal complaint filed by his former girlfriend. Jackson has not been arrested or charged.
