Still recovering from offseason surgery, Jalen Ramsey won’t be on the field when the Rams start training camp this weekend.
Los Angeles placed Ramsey on the physically unable to perform list on Friday, indicating that when the Rams’ rookies and veterans report for Saturday’s field, their All-Pro cornerback teammate won’t be ready to return from the shoulder procedure he had earlier this offseason.
News of Ramsey’s surgery was first reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport on June 21, who added that Ramsey had been playing with tears in both shoulders during Los Angeles’ Super Bowl-winning season . Ramsey later posted a photo on Instagram showing him wearing a sling on his left shoulder after surgery.
“He’s doing good. He’s been attacking the rehab the right way. He feels good,” head coach Sean McVay said of Ramsey during a press conference Friday afternoon. “When we did that surgery, obviously the biggest thing was how he felt about it, but then with the goal in mind, OK, to attack the rehab the right way and most importantly to be ready to to Sept. 8, ready. To go. So we’re going to be smart with that progress for him.”
Joining Ramsey on the PUP list are linebacker Travin Howard (groin), running back Kyren Williams (foot) and safety Quentin Lake. McVay added Friday that Howard may need surgery. Players placed on the PUP list prior to the start of training camp may return at any time.
