Austin returns to practice for Rams, could be ready for Sept. 10 openerGary Klein
Rams players stopped to greet Tavon Austin before Monday’s workout as the receiver stretched on the field.
Running back Todd Gurley strolled up and offered a hug. Coach Sean McVay patted Austin on the top of his helmet.
