If I can't practice, I can't practice. It is as simple as that. It ain't about that at all. It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game last it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that?

Dunno where that came from dennis , I'm not surprised he didn't practice today,his knee may be a bit sore,they said he would practice tomorrow but that's what they are saying,no guarantee ,hopefully sitting him today was soon enough and he didn't gut out more practice than he should have yesterday.

BTW are you really quadrupple sure it's NOT A GAME

Apparently, the plan all along has been to let him work in about 50% of the OTAs. In another thread, Waggoner and JT tweet that he participated in the walk throughs, and will be in on the 7 on 7 drills tomorrow.

I thought I had read somewhere that he was going to alternate practice days during OTAs.

Why is this a big deal? Oh fu ck it. We will rally around Shaun Hill and play good football.

I don't know that it is a big deal ,but it's newsworthy.
If he didn't miss a snap in OTA's that would be newsworthy as well

The fact that Sam's out there at all is more than what we expected when he first suffered the injury.

I'm not worried.

This, pretty much. The Rams have no reason to rush him. He needs reps, but not so much right now.

Bradford would have only started agility work about 6 weeks ago - it takes time to build that strength back in the muscles. The fact he is participating at all means he is further ahead in the recovery than expected.

Bradford is practicing every other practice by design. He is doing all the metal reps with the walk throughs. They are just taking it easy on him for now. He should be to go 100% in training camp. Nothing to make a big deal about

It's not a problem, in his press conference he says he feels great and can do anything, even sprinting. They just don't want to over do it so he'll be out there every other day / important days.

It's great for 2 reasons
1) he's healthy enough to play in (optional) offseason activity
2) the team is smart enough to limit his plays

Can't make the playoffs in OTA but you could ruin your season during them

Yeah I'm fine with it ,in fact one of the reasons my opinion of Spags went south was because he kept playing Sam on that HAS when he knew further injury would mean surgery and we were long before eliminated from the playoffs.
There's a reason those guys wear a red jersey in practice .
