Highlights from Wednesday’s Rams practice

By RICH HAMMOND

A brief look at the Rams’ training-camp practice on Wednesday:

BIG MOMENT

The most entertaining aspect of training-camp practice has been a red-zone drill in which receivers and cornerbacks go one on one. On Wednesday, rookie receiver Cooper Kupp pulled a double move on Trumaine Johnson and caught a touchdown pass from Jared Goff. The move was so nice that Johnson slapped hands with Kupp afterward.

INJURY REPORT

The Rams got even thinner at cornerback, as Mike Jordan joined Kayvon Webster and Nickell Robey-Coleman on the sideline. Coach Sean McVay indicated that none of the injuries was particularly serious and that Webster, for one, would be able to play a game if necessary.

Still, the Rams plan to bring in veteran free-agent cornerback Leodis McKelvin for a tryout Thursday.

Receiver Tavon Austin, running back Lance Dunbar, offensive lineman Andrew Donnal and linebackers Samson Ebukam and Nic Grigsby also remain out.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“It will be nice. It will be my first time back there since college, playing at least. I’ve got some family and friends coming, and it will be good.”

— Goff, a Northern California native, on playing for Saturday’s preseason game in Oakland.
