Few Rams are as eager to get going on the 2010 season as wide receiver Laurent Robinson.
"I can't wait," Robinson said. "Going down last year and missing the remainder of the season, I'm anxious to get back out there and play."
Robinson was less than 2½ games into 2009 when he suffered a season-ending fractured leg and ankle sprain Sept. 27 against Green Bay.
The long rehab process is almost over for Robinson, who has been on hand for the team's offseason conditioning program. He has been jogging and catching passes but can't cut or run full speed yet.
"We're working on it," Robinson said, when asked when he'll be cleared to do everything. "We'll be there pretty soon."
The plan is for Robinson to be full-go in mid May when the Rams begin the spring practices known as OTAs — short for organized team activities.
"By OTAs, I'll be ready to roll, out there with the team practicing right back where I left off," Robinson said.
Robinson was acquired in a trade from Atlanta last April 6, making Tuesday the one-year anniversary of the deal. The Rams swapped fifth- and sixth-round picks with Atlanta to get Robinson. (In essence, the Rams moved down 22 spots in the fifth round and 20 in the sixth round and got Robinson in exchange.)
He was on pace for a 1,000-yard receiving season when the pile rolled up on him from behind on a second-quarter run by Steven Jackson against the Packers. At the time, Robinson was the Rams' leading receiver with 13 catches for 167 yards and one touchdown.
"I had some goals set, and I was just trying to reach them," Robinson said. "It ended early, but I'm trying to come back this year and make it happen. ... I just want to pick up where I left off."
Robinson, still only 24, had a little vacation time, but his offseason has consisted mainly of rehab, rehab, and more rehab.
"Because this is what I want to do; this is what I love to do," he said. "It's a year-round thing. You can't really take any time off. You've got to keep after it."
