It turns out the Rams won’t be reporting for training camp next week as previously expected. According to multiple reports, the Rams are pushing back the official arrival date for the full roster from next Tuesday, July 28.
Rookies were slated to report on July 21 with quarterbacks and injured players arriving on July 23.
The new date for all players to report is still to be determined as the team works through the logistics of getting everyone back in the building for camp.
The Rams say they haven’t finalized the date for their full roster reporting to training camp, but they’re working on the logistics now. It won’t be this Tuesday, as initially thought.

The 2020 season is quickly approaching and teams need as much time as they can get to prepare for Week 1, but the safety of players, coaches and all staff is priority No. 1 right now. As of Wednesday, the Rams’ Infectious Diseases Emergency Response (IDER) plan was submitted to the league but not yet approved. Only eight of the 32 teams had their plans approved by the NFL.

According to Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic, players have been heading out to Los Angeles in advance of training camp. They’ll just have to wait a bit longer before they can report to Cal Lutheran for camp at some point this summer.
Players are and have been making their way out to the LA area if they live elsewhere, because while the report date is believed to be later than the 28th it’s still going to happen. https://t.co/Skg6OVqZk8
