Ty SimpsonLAR
Rams first-round rookie quarterback has been practicing better in recent days, especially in the team's padded practices, where the Rams believe he is more likely to thrive because it feels more like real football to him; general manager Les Snead said 'He's getting brought along probably in a healthy manner compared to a lot of rookie quarterbacks in this league. Maybe at the old-school pace. But I think it's been good getting to this point, I think as we get to 11-on-11, put on pads, that's probably where he comes to life, in those settings.' Simpson is a given to be on the Rams' three-QB roster.
