THOUSAND OAKS — Sony Michel was a spectator Thursday when Rams regulars banged through an intrasquad scrimmage on a hot morning. He was going to have to learn the plays before he could run any. And he’d had plenty of activity over the previous 24 hours.
After being told he’d been traded from the New England Patriots to the Rams at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Michel was on the next flight out of Boston that afternoon and was being shown around his new workplace first thing the next morning.
He likened it to “sudden change” mode on the football field, right after the ball is turned over.
