St. Louis running back Marshall Faulk sprained his left ankle in the Rams' 28-24 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, but the injury shouldn't force him to miss any games.
Faulk, who was held to 72 total yards, was injured in the fourth quarter. He also missed time in the second half with a tendon problem in his right foot, but after the game he said he felt good.
Backup Lamar Gordon finished the game, but the Rams anticipate Faulk being at full strength for next Monday's game against the Chicago Bears. Coach Mike Martz said Faulk had a mild high-ankle sprain.
