Training camp opened for the Rams rookies Monday with a rigorous conditioning test that everyone thankfully passed. Two players, 4th-round draft pick Barrett Jones and UDFA OT Braden Brown, did not participate. Brown was out with an unspecified injury; Jones, recovering from a Lisfranc injury, starts camp on the irony list. Well, it's the non-football injury list, but he got injured playing football, just at Alabama, not in the NFL. Head coach Jeff Fisher said Jones should be ready to practice in "a couple of weeks".
RB Benny Cunningham, one of the more intriguing rookie free agents, was cleared for full participation. He had been on the mend from a torn patella tendon.
Veterans report to camp Thursday, with the first practice set for 3:30. Barring the unexpected, RamView will be there. Three veterans, though, will start camp on the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list:
* TE Lance Kendricks, recovering from having his knee scoped in late April. The knee also kept him out of OTAs.
* S Matt Daniels, recovering from tearing his ACL in London last October.
* DT Jermelle Cudjo, unspecified. He had foot problems at the end of last season.
No ETAs on when any of these players can be expected to take part in practice.
* The Rams roster count is currently 89 after Will Witherspoon's signing last week.
