5 observations from Day 9 of practice
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams resumed training camp with the return of Myles Garrett, focusing on evaluating backup players due to key starters Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams resting.
- The right side of the offensive line, featuring Kevin Dotson and Warren McClendon, showed strong performance by effectively handling defenders and demonstrating solid blocking skills.
- The defensive line impressed with players like Braden Fiske, Desjuan Johnson, and Byron Young making significant plays, while the secondary and linebackers also contributed to limiting the offense.
- The Rams currently lack a clear second-string quarterback, as both Bennett and Simpson struggled during practice, with Bennett favored for his pocket presence but neither ready to start confidently.
- Cam Lampkin is making progress in the battle for the WR3 and CB4 roster spots, while linebacker Grant Stuard is emerging as a high-energy player who could strengthen special teams and provide depth.
