Jeff Fisher liked what he saw on Day 1, had some praise for undrafted rookie DE Martin Ifedi of Memphis.
Safety Mark Barron, still coming back from a knee injury in the spring, worked on the side.
And rookie OL Cody Wichmann (calf) who begins camp on PUP list, is expected to miss first 7 to 10 days of practice.
Chris Long doesn’t practice because of some tightness in his back.
Pretty good crowd at first practice of training camp; we’ll have head count in a bit. One sign in the stands: Don’t Do It Stan.
Otherwise, everybody else practiced. QB Nick Foles threw the ball pretty well. Brushed off questions about his contract, saying he’s. . . . .leaving that up to his agent.. .

Gurley said he was feeling comfortable on his knee making lateral cuts, wasn’t thinking about it as much. To my eyes, looked like it, too.

#Rams off the practice field Friday night. Coach Jeff Fisher pleased with work today. Team going through acclimation period, pads on Monday.
One cool note: Bud Sasser is guest of the team this weekend, checking things out, observing various jobs. A job with team his if he wants.
QOTD-Fisher: “I failed them from the standpoint of I talked to them about wave runners, 4-wheelers, forgot to talk to them about fireworks.”
A small new thing at practice: #Rams had music playing on the field during individual drills. They’ve dabbled in past but not like Friday.
#Rams RB Todd Gurley did some individual drills. Says he’s excited to be doing football activities again. No timetable for full return.
Should add that S Mark Barron also did not practice. Did some work on the side, Fisher said he’s a few days away from a return.
Fisher said #Rams DE Chris Long had some back tightness. He was held out of practice today. OL Cody Wichmann (PUP) only other not involved.
