Two injury-plagued years haven’t hurt Orlando Pace’s sense of humor. The Rams’ former Pro Bowl tackle said on Saturday during the second day of St. Louis’ minicamp that he is feeling good and looking forward to training camp. “I’m just getting ready for training camp,” said a smiling Pace, who missed three camps earlier in his career when he was designated as a franchise player.
