The Los Angeles Rams released their first depth chart of the preseason prior to their game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. While a depth chart at this point in the offseason doesn’t mean a lot and teams aren’t giving anything away, it’s still worth noting. Let’s take a look at the Rams first depth chart of the 2025 season.
It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise at this point, but it appears that Coleman Shelton will be the team’s starting center. Despite Beaux Limmer starting for the Rams for a majority of last season, the Rams signed Shelton in the offseason. While Shelton may not have the ceiling that Limmer has, he raises the floor and provides some veteran familiarity at the position. It doesn’t seem like there was much of a competition at this spot over the summer.
A few other things of note on the interior is that KT Leveston is listed behind Dylan McMahon. Leveston is going into year two after being drafted by the Rams last season. After spending much of his rookie season injured, Leveston may be on the outside looking in when it comes to the final-53. Willie Lampkin is also the third string center behind Limmer.
The Rams seem to be waiting it out with Alaric Jackson at left tackle to see how he progresses before Week 1. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him end up in the PUP list, but for now he is the starting left tackle. Behind him is where things become notable.
As it stands, DJ Humphries is the backup left tackle to Jackson, meaning he would likely be the starter in Week 1 if Jackson is unable to play. The Rams signed Humphries prior to training camp to give them some experienced depth behind Jackson along with David Quessenberry. Humphries appears to be ahead of Quessenberry in the rotation and the favorite for that spot.
With Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen, and Terrance Ferguson, the Rams are a very solid four deep at the tight end position. Higbee will be the leader of the group, but each of the other three bring something a little different to the offense. Parkinson is a solid blocker while Allen is a receiving threat down the seam. Terrance Ferguson also brings a unique receiving ability.
Given the depth of this group, it’s hard to see the Rams and Sean McVay not utilize the tight end position more than in years past. It will come down to how much Terrance Ferguson can grasp the offense and the rookie is currently dealing with an injured groin.
With how training camp has gone, the favorites for the starting linebacker spot seemed to be Omar Speights and Nate Landman. Landman was signed...
