Some observations and thoughts from the first two Rams camp practices: 🏈 Passing game takes over right where it left off 🏈 Big play from Kam Kinchens. Breakout coming? 🏈 Huge year ahead for Byron Young? 🏈 Ty Simpson vs. Stetson Bennett www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...
So let’s talk about Aaron Donald. What a possible return could do to the Rams’ potential… And to the expectations that are already sky-high. www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...
The Rams introduced two alternate uniforms for this season — Fearsome White and Classic Sol. They’ll use Classic Sol in Week 2 against the Giants and Fearsome White on Thanksgiving Eve against the Packers.
Pretty packed crowd for tonight’s season ticket holder event at SoFi Stadium. The crowd has already broken out in Aaron Donald chants.
Back out here at Rams practice. No #95 on the field just yet, but he’ll be here for an introductory press conference soon.
Myles Garrett will wear No. 95 with the Rams, same as his whole career. Poona Ford switches to No. 97. Looks like Myles ripped that jersey off his back after all.
I wrote after the Rams’ season ended that this team had to reconfigure its model in order to win it all with Matthew Stafford again. Defense wins championships. They’re building quite a unit now: www.nytimes.com/athletic/700...
A video breakdown of the Rams’ latest blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett — and why this offseason is bringing flashbacks to the 2021 Super Bowl team:
From my post-draft story a month ago: This type of Myles Garrett trade had wheels spinning as soon as Ty Simpson became the pick. www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...
The newly signed MVP is here. Getting started on season No. 18. “For somebody my age, I feel pretty good.”
The Rams are back on the field for OTAs. First look for us at Ty Simpson and the rookies on a Rams field.
Time for a fresh Rams depth chart after the draft. How five new rookies fit into the 53-ma roster projection — and what could come to answer remaining questions: www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...
Who were the Rams afraid would take Ty Simpson if they traded back? And what options did they consider while on the clock? A dive into the process behind a bold selection: www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...
Meet CJ Daniels, the wide receiver the Rams were waiting on to fill their biggest remaining need. Their track record of drafting receivers is strong. But can he grow quickly enough to be what they need in a championship-or-bust season? www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...
Time for a Rams draft review: 🏈 Best value pick 🏈 Most surprising pick 🏈 Biggest question mark 🏈 Strength of the roster heading out of the draft www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...
Here is your 2026 Rams draft class. Scouting reports, depth chart and scheme fits and grades on each of their five selections: www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...
