LOS ANGELES_The Los Angeles Rams are making contingency plans if the Southern California fires continue to affect air quality that prevents them from practicing at their Thousand Oaks facility in preparation for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Coliseum.
On Wednesday, a day after smoke and ash were in the air, the conditions were clear and breezy. The Rams went through an extended walk-through but did not practice. They are scheduled to practice Thursday at their facility, the team announced Wednesday night.
Coach Sean McVay said the team has arranged to work out at USC in the days ahead if it is determined that the air quality in Ventura County remains unhealthful for players.
"Seems like if things continue to improve, we'll be able to go about our normal operating procedure and be out there," McVay said. "If not, we have some contingency plans in place."
