RAMS ROOK HAS LONG WAY TO GO
St. Louis Rams rookie defensive end Chris Long is adjusting to a new spot at right defensive end - he played mostly on the left side in college - as well as a new scheme.

Long, 23, acknowledged that he struggled at times during his first nine pro practices: three at minicamp and six in organized team activities. "It's humbling," he said. "A lot of it flew by quick. But
