Through the first full week of training camp practices, a surprise standout has been WR Michael Thomas. A sixth-round pick from Southern Miss in 2016, Thomas was placed on injured reserve in Sept. last season because of a grown injury suffered in the opener. But it appears he has bounced back, as he was a standout in the first combined practice against the Chargers and performed well again Saturday. "He's got great explosiveness," Sean McVay said. "He's catching the ball really well... he's got great speed down the field."

The standout play of the second combined practice with the Chargers on Saturday was a 52-yard pass during 11-on-11 from Jared Goff to Robert Woods for a touchdown.

Cooper Kupp did not participate in the first combined practice with the Chargers but was a full go for Saturday's joint practice. A little more than 8 months removed from ACL surgery, Kupp appeared to move with ease and showed no signs of hesitation -- even after he was knocked to the ground early in the practice during 7-on-7. "I felt free to do whatever I wanted to do and really was kind of excited about that aspect of the day, being able to hit the ground and have to pop back up a few times," Kupp said.

Sean McVay was not pleased with the offense's performance Saturday in their second combined practice with the Chargers. McVay called the offense "Sluggish" and said while the defense had good energy, the offense was "Not even close to good enough." Jared Goff said the practice got off to "a rocky start" but that he was happy with how they finished. There were several incompletions during the 7-on-7 portion of the practice, and miscues during 11-on-11, including a couple of plays where the line broke down and Goff would have been sacked, a few dropped passes - including an uncharacteristic drop by Wood and a pass that skipped off Cooper Kupp's fingertips, and Goff threw a pass that was intercepted by CB Michael Davis.
