Gurley full-go for training camp

We interrupt the parade of rookie free-agent profiles with big news from Rams Park: first-round pick Todd Gurley has passed his team physical with flying colors and is cleared for full participation in training camp. He will start camp on the active roster.

There will be a rookie on PUP to start camp, but it's 6th-round pick Corey Wichmann, who's still recovering from an unspecified leg injury suffered during OTAs.

Now we get to be nervous Nellies for a couple of months hoping that Gurley's knee holds up. He'll be back at it 8-9 months after tearing his ACL last November. That recovery timeline did not work out very well for Sam Bradford or Jake Long. ACLs were a 12-month recovery up until Adrian Peterson returned in 9 months three years ago and nearly broke Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.

In NFL news, Tom Brady's 4-game suspension was upheld by the league. More importantly to Rams fans, LeVeon Bell's was cut to two weeks. That means his first start of the season will be in the Dome when the Steelers visit September 27th.

At the risk of being a bad Rams fan and sort of defending Brady, I am scratching my head trying to figure out how DUI and marijuana possession is half as bad as maybe letting the air out of some footballs.
