Los Angeles Rams

Terrance Ferguson

TE

Ferguson has been one of the biggest playmakers at Rams camp, and with Puka Nacua dealing with a groin injury that has forced him to miss multiple practices, Ferguson is getting more reps and targets with Matthew Stafford. After being used as a part-time field-stretcher at tight end as a rookie, Ferguson has seen reps out wide, in the slot and attached to the line during training camp. With little experienced pass-catching depth behind Nacua and Davante Adams, the Rams are looking for a third piece in the passing offense, and Ferguson appears to be running with the opportunity. He's gaining steam in fantasy football as a late-round option.

Puka Nacua

WR

Nacua has been a spectator at practice since departing last Tuesday's joint session with the Cowboys early, eventually getting diagnosed with soreness in his psoas. On Monday, coach Sean McVay said Nacua may not return to practice until next week, which now will be his next chance to mix back into drills. The Rams likely will continue to take it easy with Nacua to ensure he's healthy for a Week 1 matchup with the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Mario Williams

WR

The Rams waived Williams with an injury designation Tuesday. The wide receiver cleared waivers and will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Williams' departure makes room for wide receiver Alex Bachman, who was signed to the Rams' roster Tuesday.

Davis Allen

TE

Justin Dedich

G

Coach Sean McVay said that Dedich could put on a cast and participate in practice, but the overall go-ahead on any return will be determined by the training staff. The offensive lineman has not practiced since being placed on the active/non-football injury list in late July. Dedich could see limited participation very soon, which could significantly bolster the Rams' offensive line depth heading into the regular season.

Alex Bachman

WR

In a corresponding transaction, the Rams waived wide receiver Mario Williams (undisclosed) with an injury designation. Over 13 games with the Raiders in 2025, Bachman hauled in two of three targets for 12 yards. He also handled some punt return duties.

Myles Garrett

DE

Garrett sat out last Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys due to swelling in his knee, and while he was spotted working on the side Thursday, he was a DNP for this past Saturday's preseason contest at Kansas City. The Rams will continue to take a cautious approach with their biggest offseason prize to ensure he's as healthy as possible for a Week 1 matchup with the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Davante Adams

WR

Adams and several other Rams skill-position players, including Puka Nacua (groin), Jordan Whittington and Kyren Williams, observed Saturday's exhibition contest from the sidelines. Adams is coming off a strong 2025 campaign, when he led the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns across 14 regular-season games and added another score in the Rams' loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. Nacua and Adams will once again work as one of, if not the top wide receiver duos in the NFL for the 2026 season.

CJ Daniels

WR

Puka Nacua (groin), Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington were all sidelined for Saturday's exhibition contest, allowing Daniels to be listed as a starter. Daniels had a somewhat quiet game, though he connected with Ty Simpson on a 16-yard catch to set the Rams up deep in Chiefs' territory, leading to a two-yard touchdown pass from Simpson to Dean Connors on the next play. Daniels was a sixth-round selection of the Rams in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the rookie is competing against Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield and Tyler Scott for a depth role on offense. The Rams' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Saints.

Max Klare

TE

Klare was listed as the Rams' starting tight end for Saturday's exhibition game while Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson all observed the contest from the sidelines. Klare made the most of the opportunity, with four of his team-high seven catches coming in the first half, though he did commit a holding penalty late in the third quarter. Still, it was a productive performance from the rookie second-rounder, who is battling against Davis Allen (quadriceps) for a depth spot on the 53-man roster. The Rams' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Saints.

Harrison Mevis

PK

Mevis connected on field goals from 25 and 40 yards in the first half before tacking on the extra point following the Rams' two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. He took over as the Rams' starting kicker in November of last season and made the most of his opportunity, connecting on 18 of 19 field-goal attempts and all 48 of his extra-point tries over the team's final 12 games of 2025 (including three playoff games). Mevis is the only kicker on the Rams' 90-man training camp squad, and that shouldn't change once the roster trims down to 53 players before the start of the regular season.

Ty Simpson

QB

Stetson Bennett was named the Rams' starter for Saturday's exhibition contest, leading the team's first two offensive drives before Simpson took over under center. Simpson led a seven-play drive in the second quarter that led to a field goal and demonstrated his potential in the fourth quarter, when he tossed two touchdown passes to Dean Connors from two and nine yards. Bennett is listed as the Rams' backup QB behind Matthew Stafford on the Rams' unofficial depth chart, but Simpson's play Saturday indicates that the competition for the QB2 job is far from over. The Rams will head back to Los Angeles to host the Saints on Saturday, Aug. 22.

Stetson Bennett IV

QB

With Matthew Stafford sidelined, Bennett was named the starter for the Rams' preseason opener. He led a 13-play, 73-yard drive on the Rams' second offensive possession that ended with a 25-yard field goal from Harrison Mavis. Ty Simpson took over under center the rest of the way and put together a strong stat line, completing 21 of 25 passes for 190 yards and two scores. Bennett is listed as the Rams' QB2 on the team's unofficial depth chart, but that could change if he's outplayed by Simpson over the last two preseason games. The Rams' next exhibition contest takes place Saturday, Aug. 22, against the Saints.

Blake Corum

RB

Corum's workout videos from the offseason went viral on social media, as he was shown doing speed and agility drills barefoot in the gym with his trainer. He made it a point to work on fast-twitch movements to add explosion in 2026. After averaging a robust 5.1 yards per carry on 145 rushing attempts last regular season, Corum is expected to remain a big factor in the backfield alongside Williams. In Los Angeles' high-powered offense, Corum is a popular RB3 fantasy pick with big upside after compiling 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 2025. If Williams were to go down with an injury, Corum looks like an immediate plug-and-play RB1.

Kyren Williams

RB

Williams is set to share the backfield with third-year pro Blake Corum again in 2026, but that may be to his benefit if it helps him stay fresh as a dual-threat running back in the Rams' offense. The 25-year-old Williams surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for a third straight season in 2025, turning 259 carries into 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns while also securing career bests through the air with 36 catches for 281 yards and three scores. Williams has been breaking loose for big runs in camp, showing his explosive ability as a runner, and he'll look to further elevate his numbers in Year 5 with Los Angeles.

Matthew Stafford

QB

After Stafford missed all of training camp last summer due to a lingering back injury, the two rarely practiced together before the start of the regular season. While Adams led the league with 14 receiving touchdowns, he managed just one 100-yard receiving game in 14 regular-season appearances. Some of that had to do with Puka Nacua dominating targets, but it could also be chalked up to he and Stafford not totally being comfortable with each other. That hasn't been the case this summer, as Adams has been a standout at Rams camp. "When you're as intentional as they are, repetition ends up being the mother of learning," coach Sean McVay said. "It's also the best way to be able to develop rapport with each other and that's so important whether you're a center playing with a guard, a guard playing with a tackle, or quarterbacks (with) receivers." Adams has massive touchdown upside, but it also wouldn't be a shock to see him flirt with 1,000 yards again after he posted just 60 catches for 789 yards during the 2025 regular season as a touchdown-or-bust type of fantasy player.

Zech McPhearson

CB

McPhearson has not played in an NFL game since 2022, when he was with the Eagles. The 2022 fourth-rounder out of Texas Tech played in 17 regular-season games that year, logging 96 defensive snaps and 358 special teams snaps. The 2025 Rams special teams unit was among the worst in the NFL, so a cornerback with a history of special teams production is a reasonable flyer for the team to take during the expanded roster period.

Al'zillion Hamilton

CB

Hamilton is officially healthy again after passing his physical. The 21-year-old will now spend the remainder of the offseason competing for a depth spot on the Rams' roster.

Alaric Jackson

OT

The starting left tackle had to take medicine, but his absence was "exclusively just managing," Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters, per Jackson and Edwards. Jackson had to sit for the last nine regular-season games of the 2022 season due to blood clots in his lungs, and he was diagnosed with more in his lower leg during the 2025 offseason. However, Jackson was able to manage the issue with treatment and medication prior to the start of the 2025 campaign, and he could be on a similar trajectory this summer.

Jordan Whittington

WR

We've heard this before at a similar time of the year, and while Whittington has seen a few opportunities as the No. 3 receiver, it's rarely amounted to much in terms of routes and targets. The job bounced around between a slew of players last year, including Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield, both of whom are still on the team. The Rams also have rookie sixth-round pick CJ Daniels as a dark horse candidate for the job. In any case, the offense likely will use a lot of multi-TE formations, limiting the WR3's snap and route shares.

Blake Hance

G

Hance is headed to Los Angeles after having spent the 2025 campaign with the Titans. The 30-year-old has recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered last October and will spend the remainder of the summer competing for a depth spot on the Rams' roster.

Colby Parkinson

TE

During the 2025 regular season, Parkinson made his mark by catching 43 of his 56 targets for 408 yards and eight TDs in 15 contests. Though Los Angeles' current TE room is crowded, with Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, Max Klare and Davis Allen also in the mix, DaSilva relays that Parkinson should be the Rams' primary inline tight end once again and will almost always be on the field when the team deploys TE-heavy sets. In that context, the 27-year-old retains a modest degree of fantasy utility in a passing attack that continues to feature high-volume WRs Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, in particular if Parkinson retains a key red-zone role in 2026.

Tomon Fox

LB

Fox has spent the last four seasons with the Giants but is now headed to Los Angeles. The 28-year-old has totaled 45 tackles (27 solo), including 2.0 sacks, during his career and will look to earn a depth role on the Rams' 53-man roster.

Eddie Walls III

LB

Walls went down with an injury during OTAs and was carted off the practice field, and now he'll have to sit out the rest of the year unless he works out an injury settlement with the team. His departure may mean that fellow undrafted rookie Wesley Bailey gets more practice reps on the edge.
