Former running back Steven Jackson said Thursday on Twitter that the NFL contacted him for a random drug test after he signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Rams:
Steven JacksonDear NFL can you tell Mr. Lombardo that I signed a one day contract. I will not be reporting today for my random drug test screening. Thanks in advance #retirement life ud83dude0e
The news shocked a couple of Jackson's former Rams teammates in James Laurinaitis and Chris Long:
Jackson, who is the Rams' all-time leading rusher with 10,138 yards, signed the one-day deal on Monday and took part in a special ceremony at the team's training camp.
