Wide receiver/kick returner Tavon Austin (ankle) and running back Daryl Richardson (thigh) did not practice Wednesday as the Rams began their on-field preparations for Sunday's noon game against Tampa Bay at the Edward Jones Dome.
Austin, selected eighth overall in the NFL Draft in April, no longer has the walking boot on his foot.
"He's getting better, yes,'' Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said. He is "day-to-day.''
Left guard Carl Nicks (foot) was the only Buccaneer starter to miss practice Wednesday. Tampa Bay starters limited in practice were safety Mark Barron (hamstring), receiver Vincent Jackson (hamstring) and right guard Davin Joseph (knee).
RAM-BLINGS
After rushing for 133 yards, including a career-long carry of 40 yards for a touchdown, rookie Zac Stacy has been nominated for the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Player of the Week along with Green Bay's Eddie Lacy and San Diego's Ryan Mathews. The quarterbacks nominated are Kansas City's Alex Smith, Minnesota's Matt Cassel and Miami's Ryan Tannehill.
Fans can vote until Friday at 2 p.m. at on.nfl.com/19PJPI4.
• Cornerback Marcus Burley has been signed to fill out the Rams' practice squad. He's a 5-foot-10, 185-pound rookie from Delaware who was signed as an undrafted free agent by Jacksonville and was activated for one game there before being released. He was most recently on the Philadelphia practice squad.
