Crowd of 1,332 Sunday evening for Rams camp, actually a little smaller than Saturday.

E.J. Gaines, who's battling for a starting corner job left early after wrenching his knee. Walked off under his own power but limping.

Gaines got stepped on, on the play. Rams don't think it's serious but he will undergo testing to make sure.

Rams are in full pads tomorrow for a special teams practice that is not open to the public..

DB Lamarcus Joyner had a "pick 6" in practice. CB Marcus Roberson has good cover skills _ he picked off 3 passes Sunday.

First scuffle of camp took place. Hard to see the particulars but at one point rookie RG Jamon Brown tossed S T.J. McDonald out of the way

At one point CB Trumaine Johnson shouted over to the offense: "Pads on in two days!" WR Kenny Britt replied: "You say that every year. ..Get some new material."
.
Very spirited practice, particularly early, before largest crowd off the weekend. Lots of trash talk between offense and defense.

RB Todd Gurley (knee) remains limited to individual drills.

Sitting out again Sunday: DE Chris Long (back), S Mark Barron (knee), CB Brandon McGee. OL Cody Wichmann (calf) remains on PUP.

Rams worked a ton of red zone today in team drills. Foles, Mannion and Keenum all had some nice throws for TDs.

CB Marcus Roberson had a nice day. Came up with three interceptions in various 7v7 and team drills.

As expected, #Rams gave Demetrius Rhaney his turn at center today. Rotation continues. Fisher said no timetable on when a decision made.

Spirited practice for the #Rams today. Lots of chirping and the first-full fledged skirmish broke out amongst DBs and WRs/TEs.

Rams off the practice field Sunday night. CB E.J. Gaines limped off early in practice. Fisher said he got stepped on, unsure of status.

Tomorrow’s practice will be with special teams players at 10 a.m. is closed to the public. Next open practice will be on Tuesday at 3:30.

Fisher said today that there’s no timetable on when decision on starter at C will be made. Rhaney/Barnes/Jones rotating in.

Things did get a bit heated in practice today. @daniklup spoke to TE Cook, who said the heat can affect the mind. Players are all fine now.

E.J. Gaines got stepped on in practice. Fisher said the young corner needs some more tests, so right now he's day to day.

Yeah sorry, I'll be more positive. I mean, Gaines is going to be fine, he's like Superman.

freak. That looks serious, although, Britt's leg looks just as disgusting.

Never mind, the shading on their legs had me confused. Not as bad as I thought but still looks awkward. Britt looks good!

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- One day after answering questions about the competition at cornerback between E.J. Gaines and Trumaine Johnson, St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher responded to queries of a more worrisome nature.

Gaines departed Sunday evening's practice with an apparent leg injury, limping off the field early in the workout and not returning. After practice, Fisher offered as much of an update as he could without having a lot of information available.

"We don't know (yet)," Fisher said. "We're going to have to do some tests. He got stepped on, which is encouraging as opposed to the other things. So we'll do some tests. Right now, they are not too concerned. He's very sore but that typically can happen when you get stepped on."

Gaines appeared to be in quite a bit of pain as he limped off the field, at one point pulling his jersey over his head to hide his anguish. But there's no reason to jump to conclusions at this point, as the Rams will do the tests and more will be known by Tuesday at the latest.

In the meantime, Johnson got plenty of opportunities with the first team in what is a hard-to-miss role reversal from last year. It was a knee injury to Johnson that opened the door for Gaines to claim a job that he would not relinquish. Time will tell whether Johnson will get the chance or, if given the chance, be able to do the same.

Marcus Roberson also got some chances Sunday night and made the most of them. In 7-on-7 and team drills, Roberson came up with at three interceptions. He's a young player to keep an eye on as this camp and the preseason progresses.

  • The Rams will put the pads on for the first time Monday for a special teams workout, with the first fully-padded team practice set for Tuesday afternoon. That's probably a good thing, as Sunday's practice was extremely spirited. It included the first skirmish of camp, mostly involving the pass catchers and the secondary. It was hard to tell where the fight started but safety Rodney McLeod, safety T.J. McDonald, Johnson, tight end Jared Cook, receiverKenny Britt and guard Jamon Brown all had some level of prominence in the mix. At one point, Brown tossed McDonald to the ground.

    After it was over, the trash talking continued, as Cook and Johnson spent some time chirping at each other. Johnson reminded Cook that "pads come on in two days" and Cook responded in kind with "You say that every year. Get some new material." Britt and Stedman Bailey followed with some (mostly) good-natured taunts for McDonald.
  • The list of those sitting out Sunday's practice remained the same. End Chris Long (back), guard Cody Wichmann (calf), cornerback Brandon McGee and safety Mark Barron (knee) did not participate. Running back Todd Gurley(knee) remains limited to individual drills.

  • As expected, Demetrius Rhaney took his turn with the first-team offense at center. The Rams continue to rotate Rhaney, Tim Barnes and Barrett Jones. Fisher said after practice he doesn't have an exact date he wants to make a decision, so it appears the contest will roll on for a while.

  • Roberson wasn't the only corner to come up with an interception Sunday.Lamarcus Joyner bounced back after a couple of rough moments to jump an out route from Nick Foles intended for receiver Brian Quick and snare a pick. Joyner ran it back for a would-be touchdown had the play been live.

  • Although there were some interceptions, a few of the quarterbacks had some success, particularly in red zone drills. Case Keenum fired a nice strike down the seam to receiver Bradley Marquez and lated darted one in between defenders to tight end Alex Bayer for a touchdown. Foles and Sean Mannionhad a couple of touchdown tosses as well, including a great throw from Foles to Bailey on a comeback route for a score.

  • The Rams will have a special teams practice Monday at 11 a.m. ET, a session which is closed to the public.
