Overview
- Sean McVay told players he is scrapping next week’s mandatory minicamp and will hold no further organized offseason practices until training camp at Loyola Marymount in late July.
- The decision follows McVay’s established practice of ending minicamps after initial report day and mirrors recent cancellations by San Francisco and Seattle coaches, a pattern teams use to protect veteran players from early injuries.
- The Rams enter the break after an aggressive offseason that added All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie, acquired pass rusher Myles Garrett, and extended quarterback Matthew Stafford for another season, moves that raise expectations for the team.
- Off-field developments could affect who is available when camp opens: receiver Puka Nacua checked into rehab in March and is the subject of a civil lawsuit, and veteran left tackle Alaric Jackson was arrested this week on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
- Coaching choices, player health and any NFL discipline will shape the Rams’ final roster and snap counts when training camp begins and will be the key items to watch before the regular season.
