Rams cancel practice because of evacuations caused by area fires

A day after coping with the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting that occurred not far from their Thousand Oaks training facility, the Rams on Friday canceled practice to allow players, coaches and staff to deal with evacuations caused by wildfires in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

“We just felt like, most importantly, was for the guys to be with their families, their wives, their kids and kind of be that support structure and do things the right way and not have them come in, be totally distracted, like I know I would be if I was in their role,” coach Sean McVay said during a teleconference.
