“Just the two roster moves you would have seen earlier, (TE) Stephen Spach was out here we signed him and (C) Tony Wragge, so those were the two guys we signed. We had to make room. We had to release (TE) Ben Guidugli and (C/G) Hank Fraley which again is not easy to do. Especially when guys have been around here and have been loyal and great people, that’s a hard thing to do. Injury wise the guys that didn’t practice was (TE) Mike Hooman (Hoomanawanui) and (DE) Eugene Sims. Eugene’s just an oblique, hopefully we’ll get him through but Mike we don’t know. This one’s a big question mark. We’ll have to take it day-to-day literally and see what happens. Watching…he did some, what we call group install or walk-through. He was out there the whole time. He’s watching and he was in a walk-through. But all he was doing was the mental stuff. But he has a long way to go.” More after the jump…

Although Avery is still unclaimed, several of the players who got cut did find new homes quickly. Thad Lewis was picked up by the Browns, which comes as absolutely no suprise considering former Rams OC and current Browns head man Pat Shurmur is a big Lewis fan. I too am a big Lewis fan, so I hope he carves out a spot in Cleveland. Speaking of guys I’m a big fan of, DE George Selvie was claimed by the Carolina Panthers. If I have one major beef with the roster decisions, it’s that Selvie was cut while CJ Ah You and Eugene Sims were not. Still, Selvie should be able to get some time in Carolina, and I have a feeling he will be a good NFL player. Also, WR Mardy Gilyard is heading to New York to join the Jets. He just seems like a Jets kind of player, so hopefully they will give him a chance. More after the jump…

We are early on in the process, but the Rams have plenty of players who watched from the sidelines during Monday’s morning session of camp due to injury. It doesn’t sound like many of the players are seriously hurt, but it is enough to keep some guys out of work. Here is the list of all players who watched today: Josh Brown, Brandon Gibson, Ron Bartell, Justin King, Kenneth Darby, James Butler, Jacob Bell, Hank Fraley, John Greco, Mardy Gilyard, James Hall, Fred Robbins, and CJ Ah You. In another injury note, Adam Goldberg had an MRI today after hyper-extending his elbow in practice. It sounds like the injury was minor, as he was reportedly able to practice in the evening session.
