For tight end Jared Cook, Monday at Rams Park was like the first day of school.

“You come in with a fresh new outfit, fresh new shoes, a new backpack,” Cook said, laughing. “You got a Spiderman lunchbox. You’re showing off your new stuff. No, it’s just guys being acclimated again.”

The Rams began their offseason conditioning program Monday, and although the start of training camp generally is considered the start of the season, that’s not really the case, according to veteran linebacker James Laurinaitis.
