Nothing on what they did?

I mean Jenkins been playing like **** lately but Givens is essential...

I read that they missed practice on Tuesday after the bye week, but haven't seen that confirmed elsewhere and can't find the source right now.

saw two things, both have been denied as of now. one was a missed practice, the other was a curfew being broken. Fisher said that they could be out for next weeks game also

Hall of Fame 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice used to run up the stairs of San Francisco's Candlestick Park as part of his basic training. Sunday, two Rams rookies reportedly did the same—not by choice.

According to Peter King, reporting for both NBC and SI.com, St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher made cornerback Janoris Jenkins and wide receiver Chris Givens run those same stadium stairs shortly before kickoff as an extended punishment for violating a team rule. Both Jenkins and Givens already were deactivated for the Rams' afternoon game with the Niners, which ended in a 24-24 tie. Pro Football Talk reported earlier Fisher didn't allow the pair to play because of a curfew violation.

Fisher has brought a much-needed sense of discipline in his first year as the Rams' coach and sent a strong message in Week 10, as his team responded with a great road effort. In the case of Jenkins and Givens not suiting up, the next men up happened to be fellow rookies, cornerback Trumaine Johnson and wide receiver Brian Quick.

Jenkins and Givens had been key contributors through the first half of the season, so it shows that Fisher isn't giving anyone special treatment. Given the workout they just got, you can bet the rookies will think more than twice before being late for anything.

If you go out partying the night before a big game....

You're going to have a bad time.

Good for Fischer.. two key players and still punished for a really big game. Thats going to send a big message. Even though it could have pushed us over the top in the tie, I'm glad he did this.
