A brief look at the Rams’ training-camp practice on Thursday:
BIG MOMENT
It’s been a nice week for the Rams’ receivers. First, Sammy Watkins showed up and made some nice catches, and rookie Josh Reynolds flashed some moves. On the last official day of training camp, one of the veterans stood out, as Robert Woods made a couple nice catches in traffic, including one long ball for a touchdown.
INJURY REPORT
Coach Sean McVay didn’t offer an official list in advance of Saturday’s preseason game at Oakland, but it seems likely that the players who were held out for most of practice this week won’t play Saturday.
That would include cornerbacks Kayvon Webster, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Mike Jordan, which would leave the Rams rather shorthanded beyond starter Trumaine Johnson.
Receiver Tavon Austin, running back Lance Dunbar, offensive lineman Andrew Donnal and linebackers Samson Ebukam and Nic Grigsby also remain out.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“We’ve gotten a lot of things accomplished. We’re not where we want to be, but we’re going in the right direction. That’s what you feel good about.”
— McVay, on reaching the end of training camp.
DEPTH CHART
The arrival of Watkins, and good practice efforts from Reynolds, clearly have turned up the heat on receivers such as Nelson Spruce and Paul McRoberts, who presumably were on the 53-man roster bubble even before Watkins’ arrival in a trade last week.
Spruce made the roster out of training camp last year but missed the season with injuries, while McRoberts spent most of 2016 on the Rams’ practice squad.
“With the uncertainty and the unpredictability with the injuries and different things that can occur,” McVay said, “I think you get yourself caught up in worrying about things that you can’t control and that’s when it affects your ability to be your best. Those guys aren’t players that do that and I think that’s why you appreciate what they bring to this team right now.”
HEADING NORTH
The Rams are done at UC Irvine. They will have a walk-through practice Friday at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks, then resume practice there Tuesday, after Saturday’s preseason game at Oakland.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the way the guys competed, went about the meetings, and when we practiced every single day,” McVay said. “It’s been a great group to be around, both coaches and our players.”

Orange County court cases have resulted in nine death sentences since 2010. The 10th might come in the capital trial of Scott Dekraai. Dekraai killed eight people in Seal Beach in 2011, but because of prosecutors’ and deputies’ misuse of jailhouse informants in this and other cases, execution might be removed as a possible penalty.
California’s death row inmates
California has 748 people on death row, 300 more than the next highest state.
California has put 513 people to death since 1893, with the vast majority of executions from 1920 to 1940. In 1972 the California Supreme Court decided the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment. It was reinstated in 1978 but executions did not resume until 1992.The last execution was in 2006.
States with death row inmates
California has more people on death row than Florida and Texas combined.
*California total as of Aug. 11, the rest of the states are as of Oct. 1, 2016
Alaska and Hawaii have no death penalty. Note: New Mexico, Connecticut and Maryland abolished the death penalty but the law was not made retroactive so each state has several inmates on death row.
