Rams’ rookie-camp practices to include Gerald Everett, Cooper KuppBy Rich Hammond
Rams rookie coach Sean McVay will get his first chance to work with his rookie players this weekend in Thousand Oaks.
The Rams will hold an abbreviated camp for recently drafted and signed players, with two practices on Friday and one on Saturday. It’s a chance for prospects to learn the Rams’ new systems and impress coaches in advance of training camp.
As many as 51 players are expected to participate, including the eight players the Rams drafted last month: tight end Gerald Everett, receivers Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds, fullback Sam Rogers, defensive lineman Tanzel Smart, linebackers Samson Ebukam and Ejuan Price and defensive back John Johnson.
Also compelling are the stories of the undrafted players who will try to earn roster or practice-squad spots in the fall, and another spot might have opened up Thursday when the Rams waived quarterback Aaron Murray, who had been expected to be third string behind Jared Goff and Sean Mannion.
The Rams are expected to have three quarterbacks in camp: Matt Davis (Southern Methodist), Bryan Scott (Occidental) and Dylan Thompson, who was in training camp with the Rams last year. Scott, a product of Palos Verdes High, participated in USC’s Pro Day in March.
