Los Angeles Rams receiver Tavon Austin left practice at UC Irvine early because of cramps, but will not miss additional practice time, coach Jeff Fisher said.
“He’s fine, he got a little dehydrated,” Fisher said Sunday. “I heard that for some reason he didn’t eat lunch. So anyway, a good message for the rest of the team.”
Austin led the Rams with 52 receptions in 2015 when the team was based in St. Louis.
“He’s doing fine, he’s having a great camp, he’s in great shape,” Fisher said. “No worries there.”
Receiver Kenny Britt was excused from practice today, Fisher said.
“He’ll be back in the swing of things tonight in meetings and tomorrow,” Fisher said.
The Rams had “a good day” on their second day of practice with quarterback Jared Goff, the first choice in the NFL draft, making “some really good throws,” Fisher said.
The Rams released receiver Deon Long, who had been on the team’s practice squad late last season.
“We’ll probably bring some receivers in,” Fisher said. “We’re just trying to upgrade the bottom part of our roster.”
The Rams will conduct their first practice with shoulder pads on Monday, a special teams practice closed to the public, Fisher said.
The next practice open to the public will be on Tuesday, beginning at 3:30 p.m., with gates opening at 2 p.m. Limited bleacher seating will be provided around Crawford Field. Admission is free.
Following the practice, defensive backs will sign autographs for fans 14 and younger who receive a Rams token, which will be distributed at random throughout the practice. Fans are asked to be polite when seeking autographs.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have time to get every autograph signed because players have responsibilities inside and then meal and meetings, but they’re doing the best they can,” Fisher said.
