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.

Just over two weeks from now, the Los Angeles Rams will officially begin their offseason program in Oxnard.

The NFL released offseason program dates on Friday, and like all teams who return their head coaches, the Rams will start the first phase of offseason workouts on April 18. For the first two weeks, players will be restricted to strength and conditioning and rehab work.

For the next three weeks, the team will be allowed individual instruction and drills, and to hold practices with the offense and defense as separate units. Through the final four weeks, the Rams will be permitted to hold organized team practice activities (OTAs), which includes 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills without live contact.

The club has also scheduled a mandatory minicamp from June 14-16.
