Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that St. Louis Rams cornerback Bradley Fletcher is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL he suffered in practice during week five of last season. Fletcher participated in the Rams mini-camp last week, although it was on a limited basis.
“I’m ahead of schedule right now and things are going well,” said Fletcher. “My knee’s feeling really good. It’s holding up right now.”

The Rams secondary got a lot stronger this off-season with the signing of former Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan. A report by Dan Arkush at ProFootballWeekly.com from earlier this month indicated tha...
