Van Jefferson is 27 years old and entering his fourth NFL season. He’s not exactly the oldest veteran around, yet the Los Angeles Rams are managing his workload as if he’s Andrew Whitworth at the end of his career.
In the first week of camp, Jefferson has already been held out of two practices for rest – including Monday’s session, which was the first padded practice. Sean McVay has made it seem like it’s nothing to be concerned about and these days off were planned before training camp even began, but it’s hard not to wonder why a fourth-year receiver has been on the sideline twice in the first week of practice.
