A week into camp, the battle for the starting center’s spot — arguably the stiffest competition of the Rams’ preseason — is no closer to resolution. Brett Romberg has the edge, as he did coming into camp, but Richie Incognito still is very much in the picture.

Romberg has a bruised hand, which makes snapping the ball painful. So Incognito has been working with the first team for a couple of days.

“It’s too early” to make a determination, coach Scott Linehan said. “I think a lot of that is going to be determined in games, but I think it’s a very, very good competition. They’re outstanding individuals, which makes it very pleasant even though they’re battling for a job. You couldn’t find two better guys to compete against each other, because they help each other.”
