RamView, 8/15: Tuesday practice notes

from local reports

* Still on the injury list:
- Bradley Fletcher (ribs)
- Brandon Gibson (hamstring)
- Trevor Laws (knee)
- Darian Stewart (hamstring + being a liar last Friday night)
- Scott Wells (knee)
- Danario Alexander (lives here permanently)
- Sam Bradford, probable, ankle, 43rd week and counting
- and add Trumaine Johnson with an undisclosed injury that I'll bet had to do with getting belted by his own teammate Kendric Burney during Sunday's game. Hardest hit of the game.

* Depth chart report: Barry Richardson starts the week as the first-string left tackle. Quinn Ojinnaka stays at LG despite what I thought was a pretty rough outing for him Sunday. Rok Watkins, however, has started to sneak up and get some reps at LG with the first string. I imagine that would have been the plan for him all along, had he reported for camp in shape.

* Greg Zuerlein hit from 64 today. Brian Quick was another rookie who had a strong outing. Mike McNeill had a bunch of catches. The receivers were dropping passes like they were live porcupines in 7-on-7 drills, though. More drops for Isaiah Pead, and we are at the point where that HAS to improve.

* And, news flash: Tom Brandstater actually got to throw some passes in a practice. Has to be a frustrating summer for him so far.

* Former Ram updates:
- Bears signed K.C. Asiodu Saturday.
- GENTLEMAN KRIS ADAMS had one catch for 9 yards against the Rams Sunday. Didn't want anyone to think I missed that.
- Shockingly, Donnie Avery missed Sunday's game for the Colts because he is injured.
- Jimmy (Hyphen Jr.) Saddler-McQueen is now on the Texans roster.

* Wednesday's practice is at 5:30 and is open to the public.
