5 problems the LA Rams are already dealing with in training camp

(5) - Rams Training Camp forced to manage multiple player workloads

Perhaps the toughest part of any training camp is experiencing the limits and fragility of the human body once again. As long as we are focused on the addition of players, we can limit that focus to their potential, in-game performances, and the thrilling upside of a full season's on-field production. We needn't concern ourselves with workload management. Nagging injuries. And slow-stepping rehabilitation of formerly injured players.

But now that training camp is underway, we can no longer push that reality to the back of our minds. The coaching staff and the trainers must work within the limits of injured and rehabbing players carefully to avoid reinjuring soft tissues. And that takes some of the wind out of optimistic sails:

While the Rams have managed the workload of ILB Ernest Jones IV, DB John Johnson III, DB Tre'Davious White, and perhaps even more, keep in mind that the Rams are following clinical practices to sustain health and durability for players. The risk of soft tissue (re)injury increases exponentially as fatigue becomes more of a factor.

So best practices are both simple and conclusive: Avoid fatigue to minimize the risks of injury to players. While it may disappoint to see key players moving around but not in uniforms and not competing in drills, there is a science to it all. And being smart now enhances the chances of a full 17+game season out of players.
