IRVINE (CBSLA/AP) – Training camp for the Los Angeles Rams will enter its second day Friday at the University of California, Irvine, as the team faces high expectations following its surprising success last season, when it won its first NFC West title since 2003.

(Photo by Chris Williams/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Last week, the Rams signed marquee running back Todd Gurley to a four-year, $60 million extension , the richest for a running back in NFL history on a per-season basis. A few days prior, the Rams gave newly-acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks a whopping $80 million, five-year deal . The Complete Rams Training Camp Schedule The signings were somewhat puzzling given the noticeable absence from training camp of arguably the team’s best player, All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Donald, the NFL’s defensive player of the year, and the Rams have been working on a long-term extension since early last year. Donald skipped all of training camp last year in a holdout, and he missed all of the Rams’ offseason activities this spring. He did not report to the first day of camp Thursday. Donald is under contract for this season for nearly $6.9 million in the fifth year of his rookie contract. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the belief around the league is that Donald will not play another down on his current contract.

(Photo by Chris Williams/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Coach Sean McVay says talks with Donald haven’t advanced since earlier this week, when Donald was still at home in Pittsburgh. Donald, the No. 13 overall pick in the 2013 draft, has made the Pro Bowl every season of his career. He has been named a first team All-Pro in the past last three seasons. H has had 39 sacks across his first four seasons, first in the league among defensive tackles, according to CBS Sports . “We’re simultaneously working to make Aaron a Ram a long time,” Rams General Manager Les Snead said last week. “That’s the goal. Aaron is a big part of who we are, where we want to go, but the details and all that, we’re going to continue the course of keeping them in-house.” Adding to Donald’s frustration could be the summer signing of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a one-year, $14 million deal . While a solid player, Suh is not anywhere near the caliber of Donald, but will be making more than double Donald’s salary.

(Photo by Chris Williams/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Each day of training camp, which runs through Aug. 16, will be open to the public except for today, which is reserved for Rams season ticket holders. All but one of the practices open to the general public will begin at 3 p.m. The exception is the final one, Aug. 16, which will begin at 9:45 a.m. The other open practices will be conducted July 29-30, Aug. 1-2, 4, 11-13 and Aug. 15. To attend any practice held on a Saturday or Sunday, fans must sign up in advance for their free ticket, which will be used to redeem the giveaway. The tickets are available at therams.com/freetickets. Parking will be available in the Mesa Parking Structure, next to the Bren Events Center. Fans are encouraged to purchase parking passes in advance for the discounted rate of $10 here . Parking purchased in-person on the day of practice is $15. The training camp includes an expanded fan activation area, which will open two hours prior to every practice. The area will include a DJ, face painting, interactive photo experience, enter-to-win opportunities and a virtual reality gaming tent. Fans will have the opportunity to form a Fan Tunnel when the players take the field for practice. Each practice, 20 fans along with a guest of their choosing will be selected to form the tunnel. Fans must register in advance for the chance to take part in the Fan Tunnel here . The fans selected will be notified by the Rams 48 hours in advance of their respective date. Fans may bring the following items to practice — hats, jackets, rain gear, sunglasses, sunscreen, binoculars, umbrellas, and strollers. The following items will not be permitted at training camp — outside alcohol, outside food and beverage, coolers, glass containers, noise makers, loud radios, large signs or inappropriate attire. Pets are not allowed, although service animals are permitted. No weapons of any kind, regardless of persons with concealed carry handgun permits, will be allowed. Fans may bring cameras. Flash photography is not allowed. Video cameras are prohibited. UC Irvine is a smoke- and tobacco-free campus. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Rams Training Camp Kicks Off In Irvine; Aaron Donald A No-Show
KOREATOWN (CBSLA) — Police are looking for information that might lead to the capture of the persons who mugged a woman in Koreatown parking lot before dragging her several feet. Judy Cho was with her mother picking up food for a family member’s birthday party at Rodeo Galleria Sunday afternoon when she was attacked and her purse was taken by a man who quickly jumped into a getaway car. “All of a sudden, somebody pulled me from the back, and the next thing I know, I’m on the ground, there’s a car, I’m dragged,” said Cho, who had scrapes and bruises on her arm, back and feet. Security video shows Cho getting dragged by her arm for a short distance before she stops. Her 66-year-old mother tried to assist, suffering a fractured rib in the process. Cho’s husband told CBS2 News that, aside from the video, security at the shopping center was of little help, adding they thought the car was suspicious before the incident. “I felt [they were] not doing the job in full capacity, in [that] they’re more like a parking attendant than a security guard,” said Ken Cho. Police said a 69-year-old woman had her purse stolen not far from there about 15 minutes later. The thief is described as a man in his 20s or 30s. The driver is described as a man or woman of similar age. The vehicle was as a blue or gray, late model Honda Civic with paper license plates.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A 401(k) is the last thing on many young people’s minds. A record number of millennials are quitting their jobs, because they don’t want to be tied down. “It was just that work, commute, hangout with friends, and just do that on repeat,” Sarah Solomon told CBS2’s Jessica Moore. Solomon was living a young professional’s dream until at the age of 25, she decided she was burned out. Her company’s vacation policy was cramping her millennial style. “I didn’t want to have to wait a year before I could take five days at a time going on vacation,” she said. So, she ditched her PR career and its six-figure salary for the life of a digital nomad, representing a few clients remotely as she travels the world, pinching pennies to make ends meet. “I can work and still travel and see the world. And that was really — and then once I got that in my head, I was like, I have to make this happen,” said Solomon. Psychotherapist Jennifer Abcug sees many millennials redefining the traditional trajectory of success. “I think the mindset with some of the millennials is: Why wouldn’t I do this? Because I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow,” she said. But not all millennials are buying into the idea. “I think that sounds amazing, but I definitely want a good career and I want to be successful, and that’s not something that interests me,” said Midtown resident Abby Cantor. Frances Franz, of the Upper West Side, said she believes vacation is the reward for hard work, not the other way around. “No, not in a thousand years. I needed to have income. I wanted to be independent,” she said. But Solomon said she can have it both ways and refuses to live with regrets. “I think I’m going to look back and be so proud and happy that I did this, so that’s worth it for me,” she said. A recent survey of more than 10,000 millennials showed 43 percent plan to quit their jobs within two years. Experts say the trend is actually creating a big problem in the hot job market, with myriad job opportunities and not enough qualified candidates willing to work.
