Rams finish 1st post-training camp practice. Team works on some Cleveland specific things w/third preseason game being the dress rehearsal.

Fisher also says Jake Long will play, so there could be as many as 20 of the Rams' normal 22 starters in action.

As expected, McCluer, McCluer North, and McCluer South-Berkeley all practiced at Rams indoor facility Thursday.

So not too many sat out practice. Besides Dunbar, list included: WR Jordan Harris, LB Pat Schiller, DE Sammy Brown, DT Matt Conrath. .DE William Hayes, and of course, C/G Barrett Jones and C Demetrius Rhaney.

CBs, E.J. Gaines, Brandon McGee, and Darren Woodard also worked Thursday.

Also, it's possible WR Kenny Britt will be held out of Cleveland game as precautionary measure. He dinged shoulder vs. Green Bay. . . . .but has practiced this week..

With Janoris Jenkins to start, Rams will have starting secondary on the field for first time this preseason.

LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar, who has undisclosed injury, will be held out of game. He's moving around pretty well, so it doesn't appear to be serious.

Fisher expects Brockers and Saffold to start vs. Cleveland. Laurinaitis' status for Browns still to be determined.

Don't have exact attendance numbers yet, but Rams set record for average daily attendance for a Rams camp at Earth City this year. . . .

#Rams off the practice field Thursday evening. Fisher said team did a little prep to get familiar with Cleveland today.

Fisher said he's eager to have planned secondary together for first time in Cleveland. Even mentioned Lamarcus Joyner will be the nickel.

LB James Laurinaitis did more work in practice Thursday, including some team drills. Fisher said decision on whether he'll play not made yet

Per Fisher, starters expected to play the bulk of the first half. He expects J. Long, Brockers and Saffold to play.

Its really good news that they are getting healthier instead of the other way around.

IF Dunbar and Laurinaitus are both out of the Cleve. game there will be trouble in the LB corps!
