    Jeff Fisher: ‘Chance’ Chris Long could practice this week

    EARTH CITY, Mo. — St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long has been working his way back from the ankle injury he suffered in the season opener against Minnesota for the past two-plus months.

    But we’re getting closer to the time where Long might be back on the field, at least the practice field. Long has been doing some running and movement work on the side with the Rams athletic trainers in recent practices and coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that all parties would discuss Long’s possible return on Tuesday.

    “There’s a chance he’ll get on the field,” Fisher said. “We’re going to discuss it tomorrow with him. He has a 21-day window to practice once he steps on the field. There’s a chance that we’ll have him back on the field this week.”

    When Fisher refers to the 21-day window, he’s speaking to the rules associated with Long’s spot as the player on the team’s injured reserve/designated to return player. Since Long is that player, he is able to come back to the active roster despite spending the bulk of the season on injured reserve.

    Once Long returns to practice, the Rams then have a 21-day window to activate him to the active roster at which point the team would have to make a corresponding move to get him back in the 53-man roster.
