RamView, 7/31: Monday practice notes

from local reports

The Rams hold practice Tuesday at 3:30. That's the last practice open to fans until Friday. The team will start practicing in pads Wednesday, which will be a special teams practice, and Thursday, a full-squad practice.

* Injury report: Rokevious Watkins (fat) is now participating in individual drills but not team drills. Still out of action: Scott Wells (knee), Daryl Richardson (leg), and Danario Alexander (hamstring).

* Depth chart report: Darian Stewart worked with the first unit Monday, Craig Dahl with the twos. Rookie free agent Matt Conrath has gotten work with the first unit both days of camp.

* Sounds like the passing game opened up a lot more today. Steve Smith beat Trumaine Johnson for a long TD, but Cortland Finnegan and Darian Stewart had interceptions and Janoris Jenkins broke up a couple of passes. Sam Bradford was the QB on both INTs. Secondary has to be winning the race for best unit in camp thus far.

* Alumni report:
- The Packers picked up TE Demarco Cosby, who spent time on the Rams' practice squad last year.
- The Panthers signed LB David Nixon.
- Dominique Curry signed with the Lions.
- Daniel Fells was put on the PUP list in New England due to a leg injury.
- And, one day after signing a one-year contract with the Chargers, Kyle Boller missed the first day of practice and has now decided to retire. So, he always wanted to retire as a Charger? In related news, 2012 is now expected to be a down year for interceptions.
