One NFC West team opens their preseason on Thursday night as the Seattle Seahawks play the Las Vegas Raiders at 7 PM PT. It will be Pete Carroll’s first appearance as the Raiders head coach in any sort of game and he’s facing his old team. Don’t expect to see many starters though.

Prior to that the Colts play the Ravens and the Bengals play the Eagles. If you want to talk about the preseason games with your fellow Rams fans, jump down in the comments below and get things cooking!

Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams are steadfast in their belief that Matthew Stafford will take the first snap in Week 1 versus the Houston Texans. LA’s signal caller is set to return to practice on Monday, though will sit out next week’s joint practices against the Los Angeles Chargers.

It makes sense to keep Stafford out of harm’s way in a less controllable environment that introduces another team. Still, the Rams do not play starters and key contributors in the preseason and instead use these joint sessions as their dress rehearsals. It’s both noteworthy and important that Stafford...

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is one of the longest tenured players on the team’s roster, quickly taking on a leadership role within the locker room upon his arrival in 2016. Higbee has been an official team captain for the last two seasons, so when head coach Sean McVay reached out to the veteran before the team drafted TE Terrance Ferguson in the second round of this past draft, it was natural that Higbee was ready and willing to embrace more of a mentorship role for the rookie.

Higbee said that was “a testament” to McVay after he...

Rams head coach Sean McVay told the media on Thursday that if the team had a real game to play this weekend that quarterback Matthew Stafford would be cleared to start. This is a relief to all Rams fans after weeks of speculation that Stafford’s back injury, a herniated disc, could cause him to miss the first week of the season against the Houston Texans.

This is good news for Stafford’s current health and how concerned McVay is about aggravating the injury if he had to play this week, but does not quite get L.A. past the potential problem of...

The Los Angeles Rams have another injury scare in training camp to add to Matthew Stafford’s back, which is that edge rusher Jared Verse had to be helped off of the field when he bumped knees with teammate Braden Fiske. Whether Verse is in danger of missing any practices, or worse yet games, is not yet known. Sean McVay addressed the media after practice to inform them of what happened to Verse’s knee and why he was helped off of the practice field.

Considered by most to be the best rookie edge rusher in the NFL in 2024, and by...

Football is officially back for the Los Angeles Rams as they face the Dallas Cowboys in their preseason opener. While the Rams have had plenty of question marks involving Matthew Stafford’s status, it’s been more eventful for the Cowboys lately given the Micah Parsons situation.

Ahead of Saturday’s matchup, I spoke with David Halprin from Blogging The Boys, where he discussed Parsons, new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, and more.

Q – Let’s address the Micah Parsons-sized elephant in the room since the All-Pro announced a trade request on Aug. 1. How do you see this situation playing out?

The Los Angeles Rams have been heavily known during the preseason to not play their starters at all. This is how head coach Sean McVay has approached the preseason since he first started in 2017 and that hasn’t changed in eight years. The Rams have valued joint practices in a more controlled environment over the preseason.

However, after slow starts the previous two years, it’s worth wondering if McVay should change this approach and play his starters even if it is in a heavily limited capacity. McVay’s approach to the preseason was fine in 2017 and 2018 when the Rams...

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.

Rams Offense

1. Coleman Shelton Starting at Center

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...

With all the instability around Mathew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams fan may be able to find a little solace in one fact— that every NFL fan base would be challenged by the same predicament. What happens if QB#1 goes down?

A good argument could be made that the Rams have one of the better situations with Jimmy Garappolo in the wings. He’s been a competent backup for three top NFL teams, sports a stellar .671 win percentage as a starter, and has four playoff wins under his belt.

Obviously, the offense will have to be tweaked to suit his skillset....

I cannot confirm this story, but it’s interesting because reportedly Sean McVay’s favor of cornerback Jourdan Lewis is what helped lead the Jacksonville Jaguars to signing him. Any chance the Rams made an offer to Lewis this offseason? Not sure, but it’s food for thought, especially given that observers are concerned about L.A.’s cornerbacks.

Supposedly, McVay feels Lewis is tough to gameplan against, so with the Jaguars and Rams set to play this year McVay is going to need to figure Lewis out once again.

Me personally, I actually think the secondary will be fine, but we’ll see. I can...

Despite any ailments that Matthew Stafford is going through, there is an expectation among the Los Angeles Rams that Stafford will suit up Week 1 against the Houston Texans.

When NFL’s ESPN’s Ian Rapoport reported that Stafford was dealing with an aggravated disc, he also added that L.A. plans for Stafford to be a go when the season opens.

On the Rich Eisen Show, Andrew Whitworth shared that he expects Stafford to play for the Rams Week 1, and Whitworth since retiring, has only seemed to have and share a better of understanding of the inner workings of the Rams....
