Rams cornerback Ron Bartell and linebacker James Laurinaitis are in the process of setting up workouts to keep the team's defenders sharp during the labor dispute. "I'm actually coming back next Wednesday, the 20th," Laurinaitis told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I'm going to drive back there (to St. Louis) and just kind of remain for a couple months. I've been in contact with Ron Bartell here and there about trying to get a lot of the defense around each other." Laurinaitis -- a former second-round pick who was the Rams' top rookie in 2009 -- has kept himself busy since early March with personal training in Columbus, Ohio.
