| Footballguys view: As if you needed another reason to take the Rams D/ST after they traded for Myles Garrett. Donald is getting $20 million to come back, so the Rams clearly believe they are getting more than a role player. |

Both players missed last week's joint practice, but the Rams have continued to state that their absence is precautionary. We'll continue watching for more. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Stetson Bennett completed 19 of his 31 passes for 181 yards and rushed twice for nine yards and two touchdowns during the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: First round pick Ty Simpson had a great preseason debut last week, but Bennett showed in the second preseason game that he should be the backup to Matthew Stafford to open the season. Bennett will be a free agent next year, so this tape will be studied. Keep Bennett on your superflex dynasty waiver wire watch list. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is dealing with soreness but is expected to return to practice next week, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Nacua left Los Angeles' joint practice against the Cowboys last Tuesday after experiencing discomfort. Last Thursday, McVay described the issue as "a little soreness" in Nacua's psoas, a muscle connecting the lower spine to the thigh bone. At the time, McVay said he anticipated Nacua returning the following week. Considering what Nacua means to the Rams' offense, Los Angeles has little reason to push him during the preseason, but we'll see if he returns to work next week. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Rams DE Myles Garrett (knee) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Garrett may not participate in practice this week, but he should return next week. 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. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is not participating in practice Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Nacua is dealing with a core muscle injury suffered during last week's joint practice with the Cowboys. The Rams will host the Saints for a preseason matchup on Saturday afternoon. Nacua was not expected to play even without being injured, as Los Angeles has not traditionally played starters in the preseason under head coach Sean McVay, who told reporters that Nacua should return to practice next week. We'll continue to watch this one closely. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Ty Simpson completed 21 of his 25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: There was nothing too challenging for Simpson in this game, but it was still great to see him throwing the ball accurately and on time in the context of this offense. If Simpson keeps this up, he could beat out Stetson Bennett to back up Matthew Stafford. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) will likely return to practice next week, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Rams and Fantasy GMs here. Nacua will have plenty of time to ramp up before the start of the regular season (barring any setbacks). He's a top-5 pick for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is dealing with minor soreness in his groin after left practice early with the trainer on Tuesday, Aug. 11. NFL Network reported that the team was just being cautious with the star.

HC Sean McVay did not have a real update on why Puka Nacua left Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys, and QB Matthew Stafford didn't know much about it either. But he also did not get any indication that Nacua's injury was significant. "I did not [see what happened]," Stafford said, via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN. "I'm not really sure what the issue was, but nobody ran up to me in a panic, so I don't think it was anything too major."
| Footballguys view: As ProFootballTalk.com suggests, that's not confirmation that nothing serious happened to Nacua. But it is a positive signal when there isn't any other concrete information. We'll continue to watch for more. Meanwhile, the Rams' first preseason game is set for Saturday afternoon against the Chiefs. Given McVay's history, starters are highly unlikely to play for Los Angeles. |

Los Angeles Rams DE Myles Garrett was absent from the team's joint practice with the Cowboys due to some swelling on his knee and the Rams deciding to err on the side of caution, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (undisclosed) left practice early with the trainer, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 11. HC Sean McVay said he 'isn't sure what the deal is just yet.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, the injury issue comes amid a rough day for Nacua investors. Not only might he be injured, but Adam Schefter also floated the possibility that the NFL could suspend Nacua for his offseason actions. There have been claims that Nacua was allegedly involved in a "biting" incident at a bar on New Year's Eve. The case is still open. Schefter states that a suspension is "within the range of outcomes." Schefter's tidbit and a lack of information on the injury are both concerns. We'll watch for more. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Stetson Bennett could see playing time in the team's preseason opener versus the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday, Aug. 15, although head coach QB Sean McVay hasn't made a final decision yet.
| Footballguys view: This is a sign that Bennett is ahead of first round pick Ty Simpson to back up Matthew Stafford. File this away in superflex leagues in case Stafford's back acts up during the season. Hopefully we won't see either quarterback play this season except in garbage time or in a meaningless Week 18 game. |

Los Angeles Rams OT Alaric Jackson (illness) did not practice Wednesday, July 29, while managing a blood clot condition, according to head coach Sean McVay. 'It was exclusively just managing the medicine for the situation he's dealt with for the last year,' McVay said.

Link to storyLos Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum will be a 'big factor' this season for the Rams offense, according to HC Sean McVay on Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: There has been buzz that Corum will split early down work more evenly with Kyren Williams this offseason. He could have more standalone value, especially with the Rams more heavily favored against inferior competition after they acquired Myles Garrett, but Williams is still going to get more passing down work and be the more valuable fantasy running back. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford is healthy but will not participate in practice Sunday, July 26, since the team will have a plan for his workload during training camp in hopes of keeping him fresh for the regular season, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Last year, Stafford was quite limited in camp and the preseason. Then, he went on to have an MVP season for the Rams. They are hoping a similar approach in this year's camp/preseason will keep the future Hall of Fame QB playing at those MVP levels. |

Los Angeles Rams first-round draft choice QB Ty Simpson agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Rams Saturday, July 25, worth $25.4 million. The deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: The no.13 overall pick (that sent shockwaves around the NFL) can be seen as a future developmental starter for the Rams, and Simpson should be a good fit for the Sean McVay offense. While the Rams plan to manage QB Matthew Stafford's training camp reps, Simpson gets to impress the staff while competing with Stetson Bennett for the no.2 job. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua will report to training camp on time and participate in practices even though he is entering the final year of his contract, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: There was some speculation that Nacua could hold out as he seeks a new contract. One of the league's best receivers, Nacua has had a tumultuous offseason to say the least. Nacua could have to play out the year without an extension, even though Rams HC Sean McVay says he wants Nacua to be a Ram for a "really long time." We'll see him out there in camp, and then we'll monitor any progress on a new contract. |
