LOS ANGELES – The Rams held a closed training camp practice Wednesday, a session highlighted by the playmaking by a pair of tight ends and the return of linebacker Ernest Jones IV to practice.

Here are 10 things that stood out:

1) Seen and heard: After being sidelined in team drills during OTAs due to a knee issue, Jones was back out on the practice field Wednesday afternoon, and he was impossible to miss. His voice and overall energy was noticeable throughout, and he added an interception in team drills for good measure.

2) Tight ends going up top: Two highlights of the day were quarterback Matthew Stafford's touchdown pass to tight end Davis Allen, and backup Jimmy Garoppolo's touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson, with each high-pointing the ball to make those plays. Parkinson's range as a friendly target had been on display in OTAs, and that continued Wednesday. Allen's touchdown finished off

3) Kobie Turner non-participant in practice: According to head coach Sean McVay, Turner participated in the team's walkthrough but not practice and is dealing with a groin strain sustained while training this summer. Turner won't have any sort of designation, but McVay said they "will be smart with him."

4) Tre'Davious White "full-speed": White participated in Wednesday's practice, but McVay said they will "be modified with his workload."

"But when he's out there, he is full speed," McVay said. "But to say that he's going to take 100% of the reps, we'll be smart in terms of that work progression for him."

5) Offensive lineman Kevin Dotson doesn't finish practice, but McVay not concerned: McVay said he knew Dotson "needed to take a little break there and didn't finish out, but I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. Otherwise I'd probably know about it."

6) Kyren Williams' speedy reminders: If Jones' energy was noticeable on defense, Williams provided the same effect on offense, displaying the same burst he showed last season after missing most of OTAs this spring with a foot issue.

"I said a on couple runs, 'man, did I miss you in the offseason,'" McVay said.

7) Picking up where they left off: Besides the touchdown pass to Allen, Stafford also was sharp connecting with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua multiple times.

8) Welcome back JJIII: Signed on July 8, John Johnson III was back again, and McVay was pleased with what he saw, saying Johnson looked comfortable on the field.

9) Another Stafford highlight: The no-look passes were back from Stafford, too, using his eyes to manipulate defenders before hitting a target underneath on a sidearmed-throw from the pocket.

10) A competitive day on both sides of the ball: Both the offense and defense had strong moments overall, and McVay was pleased with the competitiveness and execution from each phase.
