A week away from the start of the Rams’ first offseason program in Los Angeles, players have begun arriving at the team’s temporary practice facility in Oxnard.

Offensive lineman Rodger Saffold — who missed most of last season due to a right shoulder injury — was one of the first to start working out in Ventura County, doing so as early as last Monday. Entering his seventh season in the league, the former second-round pick wrote on Twitter yesterday that he is 100 percent healthy and prepared to “return the Rams investment for years to come.”

The 6-foot-5 lineman’s career has been plagued by injuries, and the Oakland Raiders backed out of a five-year deal with him following failed physical in 2014. Saffold subsequently re-signed with the Rams on a five-year deal.

Safety Cody Davis and offensive guard Jamon Brown are among the others who have since relocated to Southern California.
