S Mark Barron is on campus. He arrived about 1/2 hour into Wednesday's walk-through.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) October 29, 2014
Fisher wouldn't get into how or when Barron will be used. Said team is just trying to get him ready to play as quickly as possible.

On Mark Barron, Fisher said they believe he fits with scheme and team liked him in '12 draft. Said where he fits is a discussion for later.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) October 29, 2014
Barron arrived part of the way through the walkthrough. Fisher said it's possible he could play Sunday but nothing for certain.

October 29, 2014 at 4:23 pm #10769AgamemnonParticipant2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Damian Williams
http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2010dwilliams.phpDamian Williams, 6-1/190
Wide Receiver
USC
Damian Williams Scouting Report
By Matt McGuireStrengths:
Good height with room to bulk
Very soft hands; rarely drops passes
Great body control
Catches ball at highest point
Excellent hand-eye coordination
Love his ball skills
Quick feet
Elite-level route runner
Deceptive speed
Changes directions quickly
Slippery fast
Does an outstanding job of changing speeds in/out of routes
Generates very solid Y.A.C.
Recognizes various coverages
Can find soft spots in zone
Eats up off-man cushion quickly, then separates
Gets two feet in on sideline catches; aware
Highly talented with great upside
Polished player
Operated in traditional West Coast offense
Plays with a lot of heart
Good character and reportedly great work ethicWeaknesses:
Quicker than fast; can he beat bump-and-run consistently?
Timed speed might go under microscope if not sub-4.5
Could be more physical at line of scrimmage
Inconsistent blocker
Has some wasted movements
Could shield corners better
Shoulder injury history must be checked intoSummary: Williams is the kind of wide receiver I love watching tape on. He is very polished and well ahead of the pack, meaning he could contribute immediately in the NFL. With Williams’ talent level and work ethic, he has a great foundation to be a star receiver in the NFL. Transferred from Arkansas to USC with high school teammate Mitch Mustain.
Player Comparison: Jimmy Smith. Smith was that very rare route-runner you just don’t find very often. Williams might be the best route-runner I have seen in four years of scouting.

The Rams have brought back Case Keenum.
St. Louis signed Keenum, the ex-Texans quarterback, to its practice squad on Thursday, according to the NFL’s transaction log.
The Rams waived Keenum on Tuesday. When he cleared waivers Wednesday, he was eligible to be added to the practice squad.
The 26-year-old Keenum started eight games for Houston in 2013. However, the Texans overhauled their QB depth chart entering this season, and Keenum lost his spot. The Rams claimed him on waivers from the Texans on Sept. 1.
The Rams are one of 19 teams carrying just two quarterbacks on the active roster. However, 14 of those clubs, including St. Louis, have at least one practice squad passer as insurance.
Overall, there are 78 quarterbacks on 53-player rosters, with 16 passers on practice squads, which were expanded to 10 players this season.

The Rams have their roster up to date, with numbers and everything, including the practice squad. -
