Blake Corum Blake Corum Primed for key role again
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 12:53 PM
Corum remains positioned atop the running back depth chart alongside starter Kyren Williams following the Rams' offseason program, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Corum, a 2024 third-round pick, did little as a rookie but carved out a notable role in 2025. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season games last year, Corum rushed 145 times for 746 yards and six touchdowns. He remained a limited contributor as a receiver, however, totaling just eight catches for 36 yards. Corum is arguably the most explosive runner in Los Angeles' backfield, but Williams remains entrenched as the lead option due to his three-down skill set. Even in a complementary role, Corum projects to remain productive and would carry significant upside if an opportunity for a larger workload emerged. |

Kyren Williams Kyren Williams Set to combine with Corum again
Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 12:17 PM
Following the Rams' offseason program, Williams and Blake Corum remain atop the RB depth chart, as was the case last season, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: During the 2025 regular season, Williams carried 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 rushing TDs, while adding 36 catches for 281 yards and three receiving scores in 17 games. In that same span, Corum rushed for 746 yards (on 145 carries) and six TDs and caught eight passes for 36 yards in his second campaign as a pro. Looking ahead, that 1-2 punch, which paced the league's No. 7 rushing attack last season, is intact for 2026, which sets Williams up for another year of fantasy utility. Beyond the Rams' top duo, Ronnie Rivers is back as the team's RB3, while Jarquez Hunter, Jordan Waters and Dean Connors round out the backfield depth chart ahead of training camp. |

Davante Adams Davante Adams Set to combine with Nacua again
Tue, Jun 23, 2026, 9:20 PM
While Puka Nacua and Adams remain entrenched atop the Rams' WR depth chart, Blaine Grisak of Sports Illustrated relays that slotting behind the top duo is up for grabs.
Analysis: As Cameron DaSilva of usatoday.com notes, the Rams approach the coming season with reigning NFL MVP (QB Matthew Stafford) set to continue working with the quality WR duo of Nacua, who led the league in receiving yards per game (107.2 ) and Adams, who caught the most TD (14) passes of any player in 2025. Per Grisak, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith are in line to compete for the Rams' WR3 job this summer, with Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels also vying for slotting. While the team reportedly mulled the possibility of moving Adams earlier this offseason, the veteran wideout was retained, and the 33-year-old thus figures to remain busy in 2026, operating in what should be a top-heavy Los Angeles passing attack. |

Joining Rams
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 8:45 PM
The Rams signed Fox on Tuesday.
Analysis: Fox has spent the last four seasons in New York but is now headed to Los Angeles. The 28-year-old has totaled 45 tackles (27 solo), including 2.0 sacks, throughout his career and will look to earn a depth role on the Rams' 53-man roster for the upcoming campaign. |

Arrested early Tuesday
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 6:15 PM
Jackson was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of felony domestic violence, NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Jackson was subsequently released from custody after posting $50,000 bond, with the left tackle's next court date scheduled for June 30. In a statement regarding the matter, the Rams said "we are aware of the incident regarding Alaric Jackson, and we take these matters very seriously. Due to this being an ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time." Jackson signed a three-year, $57 million contact with Los Angeles during the 2025 offseason. |

Gets sent to IR
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 8:44 PM
The Rams placed Walls (undisclosed) on their injured reserve list Thursday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 8:40 PM
The Rams placed Lindberg (undisclosed) on their injured reserve list Thursday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of North Carolina is now in line to miss the entire 2026 season unless he negotiates an injury settlement with the club. His absence could free up more opportunities at practice for former Tar Heel teammate Austin Blaske. |

Restructures contract
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 2:24 PM
Garrett is restructuring his contract with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It sounds like there won't be much difference from Garrett's perspective, as most of the changes are intended to help the Rams with cap flexibility. He's entering the second season of a five-year, $204 million extension, coming off a 2025 campaign in which he somehow broke the single-season record for sacks (23.0) while playing for a five-win team. Garrett's new team came a few plays shy of the Super Bowl last season and now boasts arguably the strongest roster in the league. |

Being dealt to Rams
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 1:33 PM
The Browns agreed to trade Garrett to the Rams on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Garrett will bolster a win-now Rams team, while the rebuilding Browns get back Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and a 2029 third-round pick. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year set the league record with 23.0 sacks in the 2025 regular season, and he should have even more opportunities to rush the passer on a Rams team that's expected to play with the lead much more often than the Browns have in recent years. |

Linked to pending blockbuster trade
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 12:41 PM
Verse is expected to be dealt to the Browns as part of a trade the Rams are finalizing to acquire Myles Garrett, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Verse, who has begun his NFL career with back-to-back Pro Bowls, appears slated to head to Cleveland alongside a 2027 first-round pick and further draft compensation in exchange for Garrett, a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The 25-year-old tallied 7.5 tackles across 17 regular-season games with the Rams in 2025 and will become the pillar of the Browns' pass rush in Garrett's stead, though Verse's immediate prospects in terms of productivity will figure to take a hit if he's no longer paired alongside Byron Young. |

Matthew Stafford Matthew Stafford Inks massive contract extension
Thu, May 21, 2026, 6:34 PM
Stafford and the Rams agreed on a one-year, $55 million contract extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Stafford was set to enter the 2026 campaign in the final year of his two-year, $84 million contract that he signed with Los Angeles ahead of the 2025 season, but he will now be under contract through 2027. The 38-year-old is coming off of an MVP campaign in which he compiled 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns while completing 65 percent of his passes over 17 regular-season contests. His new deal is worth up to $60 million dollars, so Stafford could now earn up to $105 million over the next two seasons. The Rams drafted the quarterback's successor in Ty Simpson 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Simpson may now get a chance to sit behind Stafford for multiple years. |

Rohan Jones Rohan Jones Joins Rams
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 7:35 PM
The Rams signed Jones as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: Jones finished his collegiate career with 80 catches for 1,352 yards and 20 touchdowns. While he will likely face an uphill battle to make the team's final roster, he could be candidate to land on the practice squad. |

Dean Connors Dean Connors Headed to LA
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 7:30 PM
The Rams signed Connors as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: Connors began his career at junior college before rushing for 977 yards and six touchdowns on 77 carries during the 2025 season while at Houston. With the Rams lacking proven talent at running back behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, Connors could have a chance to earn a on the final roster. |

Matthew Caldwell Matthew Caldwell Joining Rams
Tue, Apr 28, 2026, 7:25 PM
The Rams signed Caldwell as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Analysis: Caldwell is headed to Los Angeles after spending his collegiate career with four schools across five years. The 6-foot-4 quarterback spent the 2025 campaign with Texas, completing just eight of his 11 pass attempts for 85 yards and a touchdown. He could be a candidate to land on the Rams' practice squad. |

Selected by Rams

The Rams selected Keenan in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 232nd overall.
Analysis: Keenan spent all five years of his college career in Alabama, serving as a full-time starter at nose tackle from 2023 to 2025. His most productive season came in 2024, when he posted 40 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 13 games, which was in stark contrast to the numbers he put up in 2025 (16 total tackles over 12 games). Keenan is on the shorter side at 6-foot-1 but is hard to move at 327 pounds. That size, coupled with instinctual play and refined hands, means he can be effective in clogging up the run lanes at the NFL level. Poona Ford should be the Rams' starting nose tackle in 2026, so Keenan's main competition for rotational snaps will come from 2025 fifth-rounder Ty Hamilton. |

Picked up by Rams
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 3:50 PM
The Rams selected Daniels in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 197th overall.
Analysis: Daniels played for three different schools during his six-year college career, which ended with Miami in 2025, when he caught 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns across 13 games. He brings a 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame with good instincts and an all-around package that can help him compete at the NFL level, even if there isn't a specific category or trait that he excels in. Daniels will have the opportunity to compete against Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield for the Rams' WR3 spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. |

The Rams selected Trost in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 93rd overall.
Analysis: Trost (6-foot-5, 311 pounds) is a good athlete who played tackle at Missouri, Wake Forest, Indiana State and Morgan State, though due to his smallish frame and very short arms he's almost certainly a guard or center to the Rams. Though it's unclear how much developmental upside Trost could have after he turned 25 earlier in April, he has experience and some athleticism to work with (31-inch vertical jump). |

The Rams selected Klare in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 61st overall.
Analysis: Klare (6-foot-4, 246 pounds) is a natural fit for head coach Sean McVay's offense, having showcased natural acumen as a route runner during college along with solid speed and athleticism, though he didn't take part in drills at the combine and has room for improvement as a blocker. As a redshirt junior at Ohio State in 2025, Klare totaled 43 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns on 56 targets across 14 games. As a rookie, however, Klare's opportunities project to be significantly limited as he works to establish himself in one of the NFL's most crowded TE rooms. All of Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen had roles on offense in 2025. |

Ty Simpson Will compete for backup role
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 10:36 AM
Rams coach Sean McVay said after the Rams drafted Simpson 13th overall Thursday that the rookie quarterback out of Alabama will compete with Stetson Bennett for the backup quarterback role, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Rams drafted Simpson with an eye on the future, but Los Angeles remains focused on winning in the moment with 38-year-old Matthew Stafford locked in as the starting quarterback. Simpson, who made only 15 starts in college, should benefit from sitting behind Stafford, but the rookie first-round pick won't have the second spot on the depth chart handed to him. The Rams likely will use training camp and the preseason to evaluate whether Simpson or the 2023 fourth-round pick Bennett will go into the season as Stafford's top backup. |

Selected by Rams

The Rams selected Simpson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 13th overall.
Analysis: In what might go down as the most shocking pick of the first round, the Rams picked Simpson as their quarterback of the future at the 13th pick, something around 20 slots earlier than most projected Simpson to go off the board. Simpson (6-foot-1, 211 pounds) only started one year at Alabama and posted troubling efficiency numbers (64.5 percent completed, 7.5 YPA), but to be fair the surrounding cast at Alabama was probably the worst it has been in some number of years. The Rams know Matthew Stafford and his creaky back can only take so many more hits, and with the Simpson selection the team resolved to get ahead of whenever Stafford has to hang up the cleats. |
