    Sean McVay said today that OL Alaric Jackson will practice Monday and also be “a full participant if the plans go accordingly on Wednesday and Thursday, and take part in the walkthrough on Friday.”

    From a health standpoint, McVay said “everybody was back out there” for the team’s scrimmage this morning, “so that was a real positive.”

    “We’re getting healthy at the right time.”

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2025/08/28/rams-oc-explains-why-rams-kept-10-offensive-linemen-in-2025/85858038007/?taid=68b0a7532e39ba00011de1f1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

    The Los Angeles Rams ensured their offensive line would be insulated from injury this year when the team kept 10 players on their initial 53-man roster….Part of it was certainly depth…but it was also because of how solid everyone on the roster has been, as well as positional versatility.

    “I can’t remember a time I’ve been a part of such a deep O-line group,” LaFleur said. “You don’t typically carry 10, but when you have 10 NFL-caliber offensive linemen that have played meaningful snaps in this league, like why wouldn’t you if you can within the rest of the roster? That’s been big.”

    @kurt13warner why were you able to spread the ball so well in your career? I know you talk about reads but did you just have trust w/all your wrs? I ask because u had great 1s 4 wrs but you didn’t just go to the 1s. In today’s game it seems like qbs have 1 favorite wr and that’s

    Kurt Warner@kurt13warner
    For me it started with having GREAT concepts that you felt had answers vs every defense… then from there my job wasn’t to get the ball to any one guy but to allow the defense to dictate where the ball went! When u have those two things at play the ball goes all over!

    Then when I had 1 on 1 with my guys and a route that could allow me to go to them – I would feed my best players!!

    Few analysts are higher on the Los Angeles Rams heading into 2025 than Rich Eisen. The NFL Network host not only picked the Rams to repeat as NFC West champions, but went a step further, calling them “the class of the entire conference” — even ahead of the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

    “I think the Rams may wind up by the end of the day the class of the entire conference,” Eisen said. “The team that gave the Eagles the hardest time in the playoffs last year. And again, the way that the Rams finished [in 2024] might splash over into the way they start this year.

    “I love their young defense. I love their front seven. Let’s protect Matthew Stafford, please, and let’s see what this guy can do with the protection up front and [head coach Sean] McVay and running the play action and running the football. They might be the class of the conference.”

    Yet the betting odds have SF more likely to win the division. And I know they have a softer schedule – they get the Saints, Giants, and Bears where the Rams got Eagles, Ravens, and Lions – but I still expect the Rams to win the division.

    Los Angeles Rams: Rams go from near worst to top-10 in run defense

    Last season, the Rams defense ranked No. 30 in the NFL in run defense EPA, per TruMedia. L.A. allowed 2,948 rushing yards, also 30th, for a whopping 4.8 yards per carry. Simply put, failing to defend the run cost the team multiple games in 2024. This offseason, the Rams signed nose tackle Poona Ford, among the league’s best run defenders, in free agency and added inside linebacker Nate Landman. Defensive tackle Tyler Davis has also taken a visible step forward as depth behind Ford, and the Rams … added promising undrafted free agent Shaun Dolac. One of these moves in a vacuum may not bring forth dramatic improvement, but if I’m making a bold prediction, all of them in combination should bring the Rams up into the top 10 in run defense this season. — Jourdan Rodrigue

    I just assume she wrote that before he was cut, and then it got stuck in the Athletic’s publishing schedule. I took it as otherwise being confusing.

    I think that’s a sure bet. She wouldn’t have written that after the 53 was released.

    And now…

    Los Angeles Rams: Jordan Whittington, WR
    While the Rams are set with their 11 personnel depth (three receivers; Davante Adams, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell), I predict it will become extremely difficult to keep Whittington off the field. The second-year player has rotated into run downs with the first team, but when playing receiver with the second team he moves with a different speed and physicality than others.
