As expected, #Rams don’t expect Aaron Donald to report to preserve his UFA status after 2019. It’s all a moot point anyway whether he’s an UFA or RFA after season as both sides want to lock down a long-term extension. If they do, none of that matters

Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree had no issues during two days of practice.
“That shit dead,” Talib said.
Temperature at Rams-Ravens practice went down a bit today but tempers rose, with a few minor scrums. No punches, etc., and nothing involving Talib/Crabtree. Your standard “it’s hot and we’re tired of each other” stuff.
There are two Rams — Andrew Whitworth and Ndamukong Suh — who are clearly visible from anywhere on the field. They’re like oversized statues of football players that were wheeled onto the field to intimidate the players.
Sounds like a number of top Rams might not play Thursday, including Jared Goff.

Gurley initially said he wouldn’t want to play in preseason, but then, keeping it light, he jokingly reconsidered: “I’d probably rather do the preseason, honestly, because they try to make you do 12 100s instead, which is crazy. So sometimes it’s better to just play in the game.”
