Gurley is planning for training camp. (USATSI)

Wipe that drool off your chin, Rams fans. You too, fantasy owners. There's a chance we might see Rams rookie running back Todd Gurley ready for training camp.

Gurley, speaking with NFL Media's Tiffany Blackmon, said he's "shooting for" training camp as a return date from the ACL tear he suffered in November of his final season at Georgia.

"That is definitely a goal that I'm shooting for," Gurley said. "Just to be able to get out there and do at least some individual stuff. It's looking pretty realistic. This month I'll be in St. Louis rehabbing, so hopefully I can aim for [training camp]."

Returning from a November ACL injury in time for August football activities would be pretty stunning. We saw Adrian Peterson return that quickly and the return of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Broncos cornerback Chris Harris last season from ACL injuries was flat-out remarkable. (Both underwent surgery in January 2014 and returned for the start of football in September.)

So Gurley's plan is possible especially if things have been "going pretty good."

"It's been going pretty good," Gurley said. "When we first came in with the rookies for minicamp, you get the install those three days and then OTAs came around, it kind of slows [the offense] down a little bit because you get to have more practices and a lot more meetings. So it's been coming along pretty good so far."

Given Jeff Fisher's preference -- and in the case of the 2015 Rams -- to run the ball, it's entirely possible Gurley could be a workhorse in 2015. St. Louis might not wait to lean on him and at the very least will let Gurley and Tre Mason try to one-two punch opposing defenses while limiting Nick Foles' exposure. 

St. Louis could also opt to limit Gurley's workload early and ease him in, although there's sufficient pressure on this front office to produce a winner and Gurley's draft status indicates they expect he can contribute early.
