The Rams are back in the building. After some time off following their 5-12 season in 2022, players have begun to arrive for the offseason workout program.
The first day of the program was Monday and players are getting back in the swing of things ahead of OTAs and eventually minicamp. Matthew Stafford and Cam Akers were among the first to arrive, as were Jordan Fuller, Brian Allen, Brycen Hopkins and others.
Obviously, the team won’t be practicing just yet and the pads won’t come on until training camp, so football isn’t completely back yet. But seeing players back in the Rams’ building in April sure is exciting.
And with the draft taking place next week, there will be even more new faces in Thousand Oaks not long from now.

Cooper Kupp was unsurprisingly one of the first in the building, too.

Many of these players have already been working out and training at the Rams’ headquarters throughout the offseason, but this is officially the first day that coaches can meet with players and start establishing some structure leading up to OTAs.
