Rams wait on Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua; but it could be worse

The Los Angeles Rams haven’t had two of the biggest stars in the league at practice for quite some time, but Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua are expected to be ready for Week 1. While many teams have lost starters and key contributors before the end of the preseason, the Rams have largely avoided any […]

Sean McVay, Rams ready to go with or without Aaron Donald

The Los Angeles Rams are ready to go whether they have Aaron Donald back on their roster or not. If there was any doubt, Sean McVay has confirmed and made it clear they have plans for if AD is present, and they also have plans for if he’s not. No surprise, really, but it’s news […]

McVay: Either Stetson Bennett or Ty Simpson will be backup

As Sean McVay continues to mull over Stetson Bennett’s value to the L.A. Rams as the backup quarterback, the head coach left the door open for rookie Ty Simpson to take the job away by Week 1’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. McVay left it in no uncertain terms on Tuesday: One of those […]

How Rams could revise Aaron Donald’s current contract

With Aaron Donald’s potential return to the Los Angeles Rams still pending, NFL insiders are beginning to wonder whether he could want more than the current one-year, $30 million contract he has left on the deal he had when he retired. While $30 million would represent an enormous salary for a player returning from retirement, […]

Rams 53-man roster: Consensus projection shows expectations

As analysts debate who will make Sean McVay’s initial 53-man roster for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the most important baseline for expectations is what fans of the team actually believe. The short answer is that almost every player you think will make the roster probably will, and there are few players left off […]

Sean McVay won’t name a Matthew Stafford backup yet

The Los Angeles Rams made a bold move by drafting Ty Simpson in the first round this year, but that does not mean Les Snead’s gutsy decision will help give Sean McVay an adequate 2026 backup for Matthew Stafford. Neither Simpson nor Stetson Bennett have been consistent enough (or had enough opportunity) in the preseason […]

Don’t get too attached to Wesley Bailey

Wesley Bailey had one of the best defensive performances of the 2026 preseason yet. The UDFA out of Louisville earned 10 pressures in Saturday afternoon’s contest between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints. But a breakout game doesn’t necessarily translate to security on the 53-man roster. We’ve seen other Bailey’s with the Rams […]

Stetson Bennett’s performance against Saints was overhyped

Here are a few headlines coming out of the Los Angeles Rams’ preseason win over the New Orleans Saints led by quarterback Stetson Bennett: Bennett seems ready to serve as Matthew Stafford’s understudy – PFT Bennett gets moxie back, strengthens backup case – The Athletic They mostly get it wrong. Bennett filled up the stat […]

4 Rams who just missed the roster bubble

The two most contentious positions on the L.A. Rams roster heading into final cuts on Sunday are at running back and offensive line, which is why at this point Ronnie Rivers and Austin Blaske are two of the most controversial decisions that Sean McVay could end up making next weekend. In a survey of Rams […]

LA Rams roster 2026: Byron Young, Jaylen Watson, Tim Keenan III are underrated

Four points. Four freakin’ points. That’s what separated the 2025 Los Angeles Rams from an appearance in Super Bowl LX, as the Seattle Seahawks beat them, 31-27, in the NFC Championship game. The Rams had every reason to believe that they could have beaten, and subsequently become, the defending champs, because Sean McVay’s offense was […]

Rams place 2 on IR, sign 2 more to the roster

The Los Angeles Rams placed two players on injured reserve on Monday, and signed two more at the same positions to compete for a role with the team this season. The Rams placed cornerback Zech McPhearson and linebacker Keir Thomas on IR, while signing cornerback Steven Gilmore and linebacker Devean Deal to take their places. […]

Rams 53-man Roster: Create Your Own In Under 1 Minute!

The Los Angeles Rams will cut their roster down to 53 players by Sunday, giving the guys on the bubble just one more week of practice and a preseason game to change Sean McVay’s mind in their favor. As fans of the team, who has changed your mind in the last month and you believe […]

6 teams that could have trade interest in Stetson Bennett

As the Los Angeles Rams continue to evaluate their quarterback depth heading into the regular season, Stetson Bennett could become an intriguing name on the trade market. While Bennett may not be viewed as a long-term starter, his experience in Sean McVay’s offense, familiarity with the Rams’ system and potential upside could make him appealing […]

Rams final cuts due in 6 days; can anyone change their minds?

All NFL teams must cut their rosters down to 53 players by August 30, giving the Los Angeles Rams less than one week to figure out who will make their final roster and who will be released. It’s a nerve-racking time for any player on the roster bubble, and it’s exciting as well. Some players […]

Rams Depth Chart Reset: Jarquez Hunter makes his move

With a short week looming before the L.A. Rams’ preseason finale on Thursday, second-year back Jarquez Hunter staked his claim to leapfrog Ronnie Rivers as the team’s third-string runner. Hunter ran for 68 yards at 5.7 per carry against the Saints on Saturday, showing off the burst, speed, and power that made him a top […]

PFF Grades: The Stetson Bennett, Ty Simpson role reversal

The Los Angeles Rams’ backup quarterback battle burned hotter headed into Week 2 of the NFL preseason. After leading just two possessions in the opening game, Stetson Bennett was active for the entire first half. LA was likely being honest about the fact that rookie Ty Simpson is gaining ground on the veteran and wanted […]

No team wants to trade for Stetson Bennett

Stetson Bennett’s ideal place with the L.A Rams would be on the practice squad, and despite the belief by most that he was too good in Saturday’s preseason game to cut him, the quarterback may actually less likely to make the 53-man roster based on how he played against the Saints. A deeper look at […]

Stetson Bennett or Ty Simpson: A case for each player as QB2

The Los Angeles Rams have their starting quarterback for the regular season with 2025 NFL MVP Matthew Stafford set to return for his 18th season. But the team faces some decisions regarding the backup quarterback position after investing a 2026 1st round draft pick in Ty Simpson. The team still has Stetson Bennett on the […]

Rams’ Good, Bad and Ugly: Ty Simpson played too little

The Los Angeles Rams throttled the New Orleans Saints 34-0 on Saturday, and although it was encouraging to see Stetson Bennett lead the offense with such authority, it was equally disappointing that the coaching staff didn’t give more of those reps to Ty Simpson. Los Angeles has now won both their first two preseason matchups […]

Who hasn’t played in Rams preseason?

Under Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams have a very clear agenda with how to use the preseason, which is to rest most of the players who will make the final 53-man roster and to play the guys who won’t. With some exceptions this year, like giving Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson reps at quarterback, that’s […]

Rams 53-man roster projection: Who’s on the bubble after Saints game?

The Los Angeles Rams have one of the most competitive rosters from top to bottom and making this year’s team is one of the most difficult challenges for rookie and young players around the NFL. But there could be a few names to watch in this final week as the team has one preseason game […]

Wesley Bailey would be longest long shot to make Rams roster

Wesley Bailey wasn’t on anyone’s radar to make the L.A. Rams 53-man roster, but a strong showing against the New Orleans Saints on Saturday had some comparing him to Leonard Floyd, a former top-10 pick in the draft. Eating against Alex Wollschlaeger, an undrafted rookie out of Kentucky who is listed as the Saints third-string […]

Four down territory: Takeaways from Rams blowout win over Saints

The Los Angeles Rams put together their most dominant performance of the preseason Saturday, shutting out the New Orleans Saints 34-0 at SoFi Stadium. While preseason results rarely tell the entire story, the Rams provided plenty to discuss as they continued evaluating their roster with the regular season approaching. Los Angeles jumped out to a […]
