Rams RB Todd Gurley cleared for team drills
St Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley has finally been cleared for team drills. He will still have a yellow cap on, which is similar to a red jersey, meaning he can't be hit. While head coach Jeff Fisher is very excited, he still insists the team is going to take it very slow with Gurley. They will be cautious and you will not see him in preseason. He also has no idea if Gurley will be ready for Week 1. "Todd Gurley has been cleared for practice, so that's good news," Fisher said. "Now we're going to progress him slowly, but he'll be able to participate in the 7-on-7 and the team drills. Up to this point, he's just been participating in the 1-on-1's. So we'll take it slow, but it's going to be fun to get him on the practice field … No. No, we don't have the intention of doing that (playing him in preseason). We're just going to slowly increase his reps and see how he progresses. He may need a day off here and there, but it's good news. Dr. (James) Andrews was really pleased with his progress, so he's cutting him loose. He'll be with a brace. He'll have to continue to wear the brace … He's excited. He's really excited. He had a blast in the warm-ups last night. Then his fun stopped when the game started because he wanted to play, but he understands the situation that he's in."
