EARTH CITY, Mo. -- St. Louis Rams tight end Justice Cunningham had learned just a couple of hours earlier that he was being promoted from the practice squad to the active roster last Thursday afternoon.
Yet there Cunningham was after the practice, catching passes for an extra 20 minutes on JUGS machine as his teammates retired to the locker room to begin their weekend off.
Thing was, this wasn't Cunningham's attempt to get extra work in now that he's on the active roster. This is his routine.
"I do that every day," Cunningham said.
