This isn’t the offseason news Los Angeles Rams fans have anxiously awaited, but it’s good news, nonetheless. In practice on Tuesday, kicker Greg Zuerlein was spotted on the field. This is the first time he’s practiced in any capacity since undergoing back surgery in December, which is a great sign for his availability heading into 2018.

He was even practicing kickoffs, courtesy of Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register.

Sean McVay has said multiple times that he feels good about Zuerlein’s recovery process and that he should be 100 percent for the start of 2018. Based on this development, it’s hard to argue against McVay’s confidence.

Zuerlein was a first-team All-Pro in 2017 despite missing the final two games of the season. He made 38 of 40 field goal attempts, including a long of 56 yards.
