ST. LOUIS (AP) -St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Orlando Pace, who sprained his right knee and ankle earlier this week, didn't dress for Saturday night's preseason game against the Houston Texans. Rams coach Scott Linehan said it would be a game-day decision whether Pace, who has made the Pro Bowl seven straight seasons, would play. Todd Steussie started in Pace's place at left tackle. The Rams also held out defensive end Leonard Little, who has a quadriceps injury.Copyright © 2005 The Associated P |

ST. LOUIS (AP) -Mario Williams' next preseason test will be butting heads with a first-round pick from last season. Williams, this year's No. 1 overall selection, got 11 snaps at defensive end in his professional debut with the Houston Texans last week. On Saturday night, promising St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Alex Barron will be on the other side of the ball. ``Alex was a pretty high draft pick himself, so it will be a pretty good matchup,'' Rams offensive coordinator Greg Olson said. ``It's always |

HOUSTON (AP) -Mario Williams professes to not pay attention to the media hype surrounding him since the Houston Texans made him the first pick in the draft. Newspaper articles? ``I don't read the newspaper,'' he said. Television and radio reports? ``I don't watch TV and I don't listen to the radio.'' But despite his aversion to virtually all media, the defensive end knows that all eyes will be on him on Saturday in the Texans first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
