Rams report: Brockers returns to practice, others getting closer

The Rams worked through one of the hottest days of training camp on Tuesday.
Undrafted rookie free agent Jarrid Bryant, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound cornerback, was the standout in Tuesday's workout. In a span of six or seven plays, he came up with a pair of interceptions and a pass breakup.
Tuesday's practice marked the return of several key players. Defensive tackle Michael Brockers practiced and took normal reps with the starters. Right guard Rodger Saffold did individual work while middle linebacker James Laurinaitis did some running on the side and defensive end William Hayes worked on the side with trainers.
Players not practicing included linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar, offensive linemen Mike Person, Demetrius Rhaney and Barrett Jones, defensive end Sammy Brown, defensive tackle Matt Conrath and cornerbacks E.J. Gaines, Darren Woodard and Brandon McGee.
RAM-BLINGS
The Rams will hold their final open-to-the-public practice today beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Rams Park in Earth City.
• Receiver Tavon Austin wore No. 1 instead of his normal No. 11 on Tuesday. “Just a practice jersey,'' he explained.
• Rams legend Isiah Robertson, a six-time Pro Bowl linebacker, took in Tuesday's practice.
“What an honor to have him in the building and out to practice,'' Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. “Really, really great career. You talk about his numbers and stats and everything. Remember watching him, (he) just played the game the way (you're supposed to) play at the linebacker position.''
• A scout for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League was on hand Tuesday. Last week, the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats scouted the Rams.
