Rams rookies get back to work

ST. LOUIS — The Rams rookies and a few of their younger players took the field on Tuesday at Rams Park for the unofficial start of training camp.
Rookie offensive lineman Greg Robinson, the No. 2 overall pick, said it was a positive feeling to have a jump start on camp.
“I was kind of familiar with a lot of the plays that we went over today and it helped with the speed of the game,” Robinson said. “It helped me play a little faster.”
If it felt like these Rams were just on the field at Rams Park for OTAs, it’s because they were basically only a month ago. Since then the rookies had the rookie symposium but then returned home or traveled while keeping up on their training.
Robinson, the likely starter at left guard, said he traveled and visited with his family, but he also trained while in Florida, in Houston and when he was back home in Louisiana in his hometown of Thibodaux.
But the big man was happy to be back at work on Tuesday afternoon.
He said these first two practice sessions — they will go again Wednesday — before the official start of training camp will give him more opportunities to learn the plays and work on playing faster.
ALEXANDER PRACTICES
Rookie safety Maurice Alexander, the Rams’ fourth-round pick, was on the field after missing most of the OTAs with a knee issue.
The St. Louis native said he had his knee scoped after something was discovered following the draft and he’s been at Rams Park rehabbing since the procedure. The Utah State product said he was cleared to practice on Monday.
FOUR NEW RAMS TAKE FIELD
The Rams announced roster moves on Tuesday and all four new players — offensive linemen D.J. Morrell and R.J. Dill and linebackers Lawrence Wilson and Pat Schiller — took part in the practice session with their new teammates.
BRODINE BACK AT DEFENSIVE END
The Rams said shortly after the draft that Mason Brodine was switching from defensive end to tight end. But the 6-foot-7, 284-pounder was back working with the defensive players and working out as a defensive end on Tuesday.
Brodine told reporters that he is practicing at both positions.
