Rams not allowed to hold training camp at UC Irvine this year

Whenever training camps do open up this offseason, the Los Angeles Rams will be holding theirs in a different location than usual. Typically, they’d pack up and set up camp at UC Irvine, which is about an hour and a half from the team’s headquarters at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks.

Due to the coronavirus, however, the NFL is forcing teams to stay at home for camp this year. That means the Cowboys won’t be in Oxnard and the Rams won’t be in Irvine. The Rams will instead hold camp in Thousand Oaks.

While this isn’t a huge deal, it is another adjustment teams will have to make in this significantly altered offseason. And assuming training camp is held as scheduled, fans will most likely not be allowed to attend because of the large crowds it would attract.

In addition to teams being forced to stay at their respective facilities, they will also not be allowed to hold joint practices. The Rams prefer joint practices because of the competitive atmosphere it creates, holding sessions with the Raiders and Chargers last year alone.
