On Thursday, the NFL announced dates for every team’s rookie minicamp in May – every team except the Los Angeles Rams, that is.
The Rams were the only team on the list that didn’t have rookie minicamp dates listed, and it’s because they aren’t going to hold one – not in a traditional sense, that is. And this isn’t out of the ordinary for them. They usually onboard their rookies with an orientation-type program rather than getting them on the field for three days of practice, preparing them for life as professional football players.
Some teams will only have one- or two-day minicamps, but most will utilize the maximum of three days to get their rookies acclimated.

Though the Rams aren’t scheduled to hold a rookie minicamp, they will have OTAs coming up soon and mandatory minicamp in the middle of June before they break for the summer before training camp.
- OTA Offseason Workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 30-May 31, June 2, June 5-8
- Mandatory Minicamp: June 13-15
The Rams will be welcoming a lot of rookies into their building this offseason after selecting 14 players in the draft and signing 26 more as undrafted free agents. They make up almost half of the 84-man roster right now, so it’s an inexperienced group in Thousand Oaks.
