... that went into effect prior to the 2012-13 season forbade teams from requiring players to report to training camp more than 15 days prior to their first pre-season game. The Rams first game is with the Cowboys on August 12, so backing up at least 15 days, puts us at July 29.

That;'s good but I am still a little unclear.
You get camp practices. The number is presumably set. I assume it is.
Then you break camp and during the preseason, go back to a regular practice schedule.
The question is, is that combined number always the same no matter what?
Camp practices = x number, pre-season practices = y number, combined they equal xy number.
The point of this question is, does reporting late or early mean you subtract or add to that total xy number?My guess is that it makes no difference. The xy number remains the same no matter when you report.
But I don't know that for sure.
