2017 Los Angeles Rams Training Camp is taking a step up today...pads.
Today will be the first full equipment, partial contact practice of camp. In anticipation, some of the veterans had their workload lightened yesterday:
#Rams also gave a handful of veterans the day off in advance of full pads Tuesday. Among them: Barwin, Whitworth, Saffold, Easley

So expect some pop today...just not from the lead man:
The Rams are in pads tomorrow. No word on whether Sean McVay will also be in pads.

Injuries
Interesting news that the NFL is willing to work with the NFLPA to study marijuana. Not expecting any blunts in the beer garden, though.
McVay’s O
Eager to see everyone in pads, something we talked about last night on Turf Show Radio in reference to WR Tavon Austin. Is this going to help the more physical players whereas the more technical and athletic ones had an advantage in shorts?
Wading with Wade
No full tackling coming today:
Rams will wear full pads in practice tomorrow, but McVay said there won't be any "live" (tackling to ground) periods.
