What happened at Aaron Donald’s second Rams workout?
Aaron Donald had another workout with the Los Angeles Rams this past Sunday, as he and the team continue to figure out if he can give the 2026 season an honest go. Many assume that Donald will be back with the Rams at some point, but he could decide that he wants to stay retired […]
Re-setting the Rams depth chart after first preseason game
If Sean McVay is using the preseason to make a decision on who Matthew Stafford’s backup should be, then Ty Simpson has taken a lead over Stetson Bennett. The rookie was clearly the better quarterback of the two in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Chiefs, but will McVay stubbornly stick to Bennett, or go sign […]
Aaron Donald completes 2nd official Rams workout
Aaron Donald had his second official workout with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, adding another chapter to what has become one of the biggest NFL storylines of the summer. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the latest development via the league’s transaction wire, providing another indication that Donald is seriously considering a return to the team […]
Rams make surprising addition to roster on Sunday
The Los Angeles Rams signed punter Jack Bouwmeester on Sunday, giving them two on the 90-man roster headed into their second preseason game against the New Orleans Saints this week. Bouwmeester is Australian and qualifies for the league’s international pathway program exemption, meaning that the Rams can control his rights without him counting against their […]
Myth busting narratives surrounding Ty Simpson’s NFL debut
It’s true that Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback aced his first NFL game. The first round pick led LA to a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. Simpson was accurate on over 90% of his throws. He demonstrated a level of mobility that is foreign to recent Rams quarterbacks. Simpson’s arm strength was […]
C.J. Daniels is no Puka Nacua
Two of the biggest winners in the L.A. Rams preseason opener on Saturday were receivers who didn’t even suit up, which includes Konata Mumpfield and Jordan Whittington, because on Sean McVay’s team it’s not how you play in the preseason but how often you don’t play that really matters. And whereas Brennan Presley and Xavier […]
Upon further review: Brennan Presley’s big day
Brennan Presley had one of the most productive games of any player in the Los Angeles Rams’ 20-12 preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday. In what will be an uphill climb to make the roster, it was a strong first step for the former Oklahoma State Cowboy. As a speedy but especially small […]
Good, Bad and Ugly: Ty Simpson, defense showed out in KC
The Los Angeles Rams came away victorious in their preseason opener with a 20-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. LA put together a strong showing in Kansas City, as Ty Simpson and the defense showed out this weekend. Here is the good, the bad and the ugly from the Rams’ preseason matchup […]
Rams PFF Grades: Stetson Bennett finished last on offense
Pro Football Focus (PFF) published the Los Angeles Rams’ first grades of the 2026 season. LA earned an exhibition victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The highlight, of course, was first-round quarterback Ty Simpson’s debut. PFF was kind to him in their grading, and there is more to come on that. After each […]
Rams preseason snap counts: What we learned for 53-man roster
The Los Angeles Rams have been consistent in their approach to the preseason in the past decade under Sean McVay. We know this will be a very competitive roster to make. There may only be a few spots up for grabs on the margins. Sometimes McVay’s most telling move is who sits out. There were […]
Ty Simpson compared to Baker Mayfield after 1 preseason game
People have ways of hedging their bets when it comes to highly-touted quarterbacks in the preseason, and Ty Simpson’s successful debut for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday was prime real estate for hedging. You see, if Simpson played poorly, then believers would say “It’s only the preseason, who cares?” and skeptics would say, “I […]
Rams giving Aaron Donald all the time he needs
Even when the Los Angeles Rams actually take the field, the looming possibility of Aaron Donald returning to the team still makes headline news. After the Rams knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs 20-12 in their preseason opener Saturday, coach Sean McVay was asked about Donald’s potential return, and he responded with an understandably measured […]
Rams’ Winners & Losers: Ty Simpson is bringing the future
Ty Simpson was pinpoint accurate in his debut for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, as the first-round pick led his team to a 20-12 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Starter Stetson Bennett got just two drives to open the game before leading to Simpson, a potential glimpse into the future and the rest […]
Undrafted safety steals show for Rams against Chiefs
While it would seem impossible to outshine quarterback Ty Simpson in his preseason debut, L.A. Rams safety Nick Andersen gave the first-round pick all the competition for attention that he could handle. Andersen, an undrafted rookie out of Wake Forest, has made an outstanding case to make the Rams 53-man roster after his debut performance […]
Rams-Chiefs preseason final score: Ty Simpson leads L.A. to win in NFL debut
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Kansas City Chiefs by a final score of 20-12 in their first preseason game of 2026, as rookie quarterback Ty Simpson led the way with two touchdown passes to running back Dean Connors. It was a low-scoring affair for about three quarters, until the Rams pulled away after Simpson […]
Rams-Chiefs preseason Week 1 game thread
The Los Angeles Rams travel to take on the Kansas City Chiefs for some preseason Week 1 NFL action. This game will not be Matthew Stafford vs. Patrick Mahomes. That should come later in the regular season. This game will apparently feature some Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson, so there’s a lot to watch for […]
Rams-Chiefs preseason: Keys to victory
The Los Angeles Rams will open their 2026 preseason schedule Saturday afternoon against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The game is scheduled for August 15 at 4 p.m. ET, and with the Rams expected to keep their starters on the sideline, the focus will be less about the final score […]
Rookie pass catchers have major opportunity in preseason opener
If you’ve been waiting to see Max Klare and C.J. Daniels take the field for the Los Angeles Rams, your wait is finally almost over. With a slew of Rams expected to sit out the preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday, younger potential contributors will get a chance to shine. Klare and Daniels, […]
Ty Simpson is bothering Matthew Stafford, in all the right ways
The Los Angeles Rams will get their first look at rookie quarterback Ty Simpson in a preseason game on Saturday and the 13th overall pick will have plenty to prove against the Kansas City Chiefs. Not just to fans, not just to skeptics, and not just to coaches, but also to himself. He would also […]
Other rookie QBs are putting pressure on Ty Simpson before debut
The pressure is on Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson before he ever steps onto the field. Several notable first-year signal callers have seen the field this preseason and have played admirably, further putting the heat on Simpson ahead of his expected NFL debut Saturday. It all kicked off with Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck […]
What I’ll be watching for in the Rams opener
The wait is over, Los Angeles Rams football is back. Time to box up those preseason thoughts, all the hype, speculation, and over-reaction. Don’t discard them, just shake them up and repurpose them as post-preseason game analysis. Fortunes will rise and fall, but the stars won’t shine, this production will be left to the understudy’s. […]
Cowboys CB says facing Rams WRs in practice was ‘easy’
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Shavon Revel is not a household name, but after his comments about Puka Nacua and other L.A. Rams receivers this week, that could change overnight. Revel said that facing the Rams in a joint practice on Tuesday “felt easy”, an opinion not many would have expected from a cornerback who has played […]
Will Aaron Donald have more sacks than Braden Fiske?
The Los Angeles Rams are anxiously awaiting the impending return of Aaron Donald. Donald’s return to the Rams will undoubtedly form the greatest defensive line ever to touch the NFL grass. However, Donald’s return does raise questions about how Sean McVay and Chris Shula will get all of their chess pieces on the field…namely Braden […]
Will Aaron Donald make his decision on Friday?
It’s been rumored that Aaron Donald could maybe possibly perhaps announce that he is returning to the Los Angeles Rams as of Friday. By the time you are reading this maybe he already has, or maybe he hasn’t. Whether Donald returns or not, this should be a good Rams team. They should be able to […]
Chiefs have backup QB intrigue entering Rams matchup
Ahead of their preseason opener, the Los Angeles Rams’ backup quarterback situation appears relatively straightforward. Their opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, appear to be in the same boat, but have a potentially intriguing battle at the No. 3 spot behind Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields. As previously stated, the Rams’ backup quarterback battle behind Matthew […]
