    Tavon Austin’s absence gives Rams’ other receivers a chance to shine
    At 5-foot-8, Tavon Austin casts a relatively small shadow, but it’s one that will loom over Rams practice this week as the team enters the final phase of its offseason work.
    Austin won’t be on the field. The Rams’ top returning receiver had wrist surgery this month and, presumably, will be ready to return when training camp opens in late July. But these are complicated times for Austin and the Rams’ receivers, and no void goes unfilled in the NFL.

    NEW YORK — Cam Bedrosian is about to take a key step toward the end of what has been a longer-than-expected stint on the disabled list.
    Bedrosian is scheduled to throw off a mound on Monday, Manager Mike Scioscia said. It would be his first time off a mound since he was placed on the disabled list with a strained groin April 22.
    At the time, Bedrosian felt he would miss only two weeks.

    The Southern California rehab industry spans the nation

    As the nation’s opioid epidemic has exploded, California rehab centers are being marketed across the nation.
    Addicts have been offered plane tickets and free treatment stays to get treatment in California. Without the patient’s knowledge, premiums sometimes are paid by the centers or by middlemen, who recover their money through large billings to insurance companies.

    Is there a link between neighborhood rehab programs and petty crime in California?
    Treatment for addicts is far preferable to prison.
    That was the judgment of Californians when they passed Proposition 47 with nearly 60 percent of the vote in 2014. The measure downgraded nonviolent drug crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and sent thousands of offenders to rehabs rather than to prisons.
    When addicts can’t stay sober in treatment – which is often, according to research studies – they frequently end up back on the street, homeless and relapsing, scrounging for
