MANHATTAN BEACH (AP) — Although the Los Angeles Rams are in a hurry to get established in their new home, linebacker Alec Ogletree has an even more pressing deadline.Ogletree’s wife is pregnant, and her Aug. 2 due date falls early in the Rams’ first training camp back on the West Coast.“We definitely want to get her settled in,” Ogletree said.The Rams met in Los Angeles for the first time Friday, with roughly 80 percent of the roster attending a voluntary meeting at a hotel several miles from the building site of their palatial new Inglewood stadium, which will open in 2019.The Rams are moving back to Los Angeles after 21 years in St. Louis, and they’ve got plenty of work to do before their regular-season kickoff at the Coliseum in six months.“We’re not technically here yet,” Ogletree said. “We’re still in the process of moving out here. But today, being out here, it’s exciting learning about everything we need to do and how everything is going to go.”The meeting included information for the players on where the team will prepare for the 2016 season.
