THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- It was only a light practice, but it was a welcomed sight nonetheless: E.J. Gaines, Pharoh Cooper and Nelson Spruce, all running around in helmets and cleats.
They could all play on Sunday for the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Raymond James Stadium, but none of them really know just yet.
Gaines would be the outside corner, opposite Trumaine Johnson against a dangerous opposing quarterback in Jameis Winston. Cooper would line up as the slot receiver, hoping to jolt an offense that has the NFL's fewest passing yards through the first two weeks and has yet to score a touchdown.
