Camp news, 8/17

(from media reports)

Today's schedule: Unless they shut down training camp until the beginning of the season because the team's not going to survive it, two practices today: 8:15 - 10:30 this morning and 5:00 - 7:00 tonight.

New to the injury list: ROGER SAFFOLD (back). Somebody fell on him in practice yesterday. Your new starting LT is apparently Phil Trautwein. Is this team EVER going to get anything other than THE WORST INJURY LUCK POSSIBLE? The team does not sound worried about Saffold's injury, at the moment. Update: In fact, he's practicing this morning. So, never mind. Then again, it's with braces on both knees now. I thought he hurt his back...

Also hurt yesterday: Victor Adeyanju (knee), and Keenan Burton sat it out with swelling in his knee.

Update: sitting out today: Oh great: George Selvie with a leg injury. Also Kevin Payne with a knee problem.

Back on the field: C.J. Ah You, Bradley Fletcher, Brandon Gibson and Mardy Gilyard are all at least participating in drills.

Updated list: Adeyanju (knee); Jacob Bell (very close to returning, oblique); Josh Brown (hip); Burton (knee); James Butler (knee); Kevin Dockery (hip); John Greco (pectoreal); Justin King (calf); Brandon McRae (ankle); Jerome Murphy (ankle); Kenneth Sims (hamstring). Status unknown: Craig Dahl (knee), Dominic Douglas (shoulder). Update: Bell saw limited action today.

Transactions: The Rams re-acquired DB Marcus Brown, who was on the practice squad here part of last season. Shaun Suisham was released to make room for Brown but has a very good chance of returning to the roster to kick in Cleveland Saturday night.

Max-Sam-izing: Sam Bradford is now splitting first- and second-string reps evenly with A.J. Feeley.

Around the league: Aaron Schobel announced his retirement yesterday, and apparently had been leaning that way for a while now, explaining the lack of interest around the league in a DE who had 10 sacks last season. Adewale Ogunleye, still unsigned, worked out for New England a couple of weeks ago.

And, of course, ESPN got it completely wrong with Brian Westbrook, who signed with the 49ers late yesterday afternoon.

More to add when there's more to add.
