The NFL invited all 32 NFL teams to attend a workout session for Colin Kaepernick this upcoming Saturday in Georgia as the former 49ers quarterback tries to make his way back into the league. Several teams have already confirmed that they will be in attendance, but the Rams declined to disclose their plans.
During Sean McVay’s press conference on Wednesday, the coach said the Rams “feel good” about their quarterback situation at the moment and that he hasn’t “had a chance to really go into a deep dialogue” with general manager Les Snead. He wouldn’t say whether or not the team will attend the workout, deferring to Snead on the subject.
McVay on if Rams will have rep at Kap workout: "We feel good about our quarterback situation right now. Haven’t had a chance to really go into a deep dialogue with Les [Snead] but we do keep our workouts and those things in house which is the standard operating procedure." (1/2)

Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL since 2016, which is when he began protesting social injustice by kneeling during the national anthem before games. In his last season with the 49ers, he threw 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions in 12 games.
The Rams have Jared Goff as their starter and Blake Bortles backing him up, so quarterback isn’t a pressing need for them right now. They signed Goff to a four-year, $134 million extension this offseason.
