The St. Louis Rams stood behind Michael Sam amid comments from Tony Dungy that the presence of a homosexual player would be a distraction if he were still a head coach.

“Absolutely not,” Jeff Fisher said. “Let's define distraction. There were a couple of extra cameras during early OTAs. There may have been an extra camera yesterday as rookies reported and went on the field the first time. Mike's a very passionate athlete. He's very focused on trying to make this football team.

"He worked really hard during the summer, and he's doing a good job."
