LA Rams Are Back Together As They Aim For A Super Return
Jay Paris
The Rams gang was nearly all together for the first time since the last time and that's super in coach Sean McVay's eyes.
Maybe "super" isn't quite the right word with the Los Angeles' 13-3 Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots still lingering.
Then again, McVay isn't one to peek backward. Instead he was looking around the Rams' offseason workouts which finally included the veterans and smiled.
"It was a good first day,'' he said. "It was good to get out there with the guys.''
One player is never easy to miss and that's Aaron Donald, the two-time reigning NFL defensive player of the year. But for the first spring, McVay could eye Donald, his stud tackle, up-close.
"I forgot how much I enjoyed him,'' McVay said.
Donald had skipped the past two years' offseason sessions while trying to wrangle a long-term deal from the Rams. He signed his $135 million extension before last season, so he's under contract and as overwhelming as usual.
"One of the things you really appreciate about the great ones is that they bring the others along with them,'' McVay said. "They raise the level of play of everyone around them.''
Someone not on site was Todd Gurley. The star running back with the cranky knees was training elsewhere and that was fine with McVay.

Todd Gurley absent as Rams begin voluntary OTA workouts
Key defensive veterans Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters, Dante Fowler also skip drills
THOUSAND OAKS – The Rams contend to have a “really specific” plan for Todd Gurley this offseason. But starting offseason training activities with the team was apparently not a part of it.
The former NFL Offensive Player of the Year was not the only player absent from the Rams’ first OTA practice on Monday. Cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, as well as edge rusher Dante Fowler, were also not in attendance, all of whom, according to Rams coach Sean McVay, communicated ahead of time that they would be absent.
OTA’s are entirely voluntary, and it’s not without precedent that players secure in their star status skip out. But the absence of Gurley, who signed the largest guaranteed contract for a running back in NFL history last summer, is bound to raise a few eyebrows anyway, given the uncertain status of his knee at the end of last season.
The last we saw of the Rams star running back, he ran for just 35 yards on 10 carries in a Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. Ever since, reports doubting Gurley’s long-term health have swirled endlessly, even as he and the Rams have shrugged them off.
McVay said that Rams staff members sat down with Gurley to work out a plan for his offseason. That plan, like the team’s agreement with star tackle Aaron Donald, includes allowances for Gurley to use trainers unaffiliated with the Rams.
“As long as we’re on the same page, we feel good about that,” McVay said. “And most importantly, Todd feels good. He’s got a lot of experience. He’s staying up to date with everything that’s going on. But that’s where we’re at with him right now.”
Gurley said last month that his knee felt “pretty good.” Surgery, he said, had never been seriously considered. Over the course of the offseason, Gurley has certainly seemed fine as he traveled the world, from New York and Miami to Milan and Barcelona, “doing everything I always wanted to do,” he said.
But until the two-time All-Pro running back is back on the field, questions about his health will continue to linger. That return could take place some time over the team’s nine remaining OTA sessions, which are spread out over the next three weeks. Or we may not see Gurley until training camp begins at the end of July.
The absence of a star player from offseason workouts should be familiar territory for the Rams, who spent the last two years of OTA’s fielding questions about Aaron Donald and his contract. But on Monday, while Gurley stayed away, Donald was on the field in May for the first time since McVay took over as coach.“It’s nice having him around this time of year,” McVay said. “I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed him.”

Phase III of offseason program, organized team activities begin for 2019 Los Angeles Rams
There are 28 days in Phase III before the Rams break off for the summer as training camp looms in late July
By 3k@3k_ May 20, 2019, 1:14pm CDT
Welcome to Phase III of the offseason program for the 2019 Los Angeles Rams:
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or “OTAs”. No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.
Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates that clubs may hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players. This minicamp...must occur during Phase Three of the offseason program.
A reminder of the schedule:
Phase III: May 20-June 16
OTAs: May 20-21, May 23, May 28-30, June 3-6
Optional mandatory minicamp: June 11-13
Ten OTAs and three minicamp days. That’s all the Rams have between today and training camp when it breaks in late July. Throw in training camp and a few weeks of three-day practice sessions and you’re looking at about 40 practices between today and Week 1 of the regular season.
So there’s a premium on using this time to make sure you get guys ready especially the younger more inexperienced players and ESPECIALLY the younger more inexperienced players that look to be in line for playing time.
Of course, the asterisk that looms here is injury. Already, we’ve seen the first victim claimed as former San Francisco 49ers and now Washington Injury Havers LB Reuben Foster was carted off earlier today. So light a candle, spill a drop of blood. Get your juju goin.The offseason is in its final phase. Then we vacate. Then...we begin
