A little before noon Pacific Time, as the San Francisco crowd began to settle in their seats, fans in the lower bowl at Candlestick Park were treated to an odd display. Two Rams starters in sweat clothes, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and wide receiver Chris Givens, both rookies, began sprinting up and down the stairs in one section of the stands, supervised by assistant strength coach Adam Bailey. How odd, the fans with trays of Gordon Biersch craft beers and garlic fries reporting for the game must have thought. What are these Rams doing running the stairs at this hour? Shouldn't they be stretching for the game, or doing something down on the field?
"It was two-fold,'' said Rams coach Jeff Fisher, who suspended Jenkins and Givens for an unspecified violation of team rules Saturday. [hil]"They weren't going to play, so they needed a workout. And I guess you can say it was part punitive. We still have to sort some things out about what happened, but hopefully this helps them get the message.''[/hil]

“They violated teams rules and they were de-activated,” Fisher said after Sunday’s 24-24 tie against the 49ers. “It was a decision I made (Saturday).”
Fisher did not elaborate.
“It’s an issue that’s between me and the players, and the club and the players,” Fisher said. “They violated rules and I deactivated them. [hil]As to whether they play next week or not, I don’t know. We’ll see[/hil].”
