Rams report: Peacock visits as Rams hold first full workout in pads

The Rams held their first full-squad workout in pads on Tuesday, practicing in front of 1,030 at Rams Park.

“When you put the pads on, things get a little more real for everybody,'' third-year linebacker Alec Ogletree said. “It's exciting because it means your one step closer to the start of the season.''

Following an off day Wednesday, the team will practice Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Rams Park. Friday at 5 p.m., the team will hold a scrimmage at Lindenwood University.

Both the Thursday and Friday workouts are free and open to the public.

RAM-BLINGS

Dave Peacock, the co-leader of the St. Louis stadium task force, told the Post-Dispatch's Jim Thomas that he tries to get out to Rams' camp a time or two each year, but Tuesday's visit along with his two sons was different. A guest of the Rams, Peacock posed for pictures and drew plenty of attention from the media.

He also chatted briefly with both Rams COO Kevin Demoff and general manager Les Snead.

• Rookie receiver Daniel Rodriguez, the Afghanistan war hero from Clemson, put on a show for the fans and flashed his outstanding hands during a punt-catching drill. At one point, he made a behind-the-back catch while facing away from the punter. Later, it was a catch with two balls in his arms and another between his legs.

• The team made the first roster move of camp, releasing receiver Devon Wylie and bringing in defensive back Trovon Reed of Auburn. A highly regarded recruit from Louisiana, the 6-foot, 190-pound Reed spent his first three seasons at wide receiver _ he had 39 catches for 384 yards and a touchdown _ he shifted to cornerback last fall and ended up with 12 total tackles, four pass breakups and three interceptions.

Reed was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks shortly after the draft in May.

The Rams are a little short at corner these days with E.J. Gaines and Brandon McGee missing recent workouts due to injury.

• Defensive end Chris Long (back stiffness) practiced for the first time on Tuesday. Safety Mark Barron (knee) was again limited to individual work.
