• Adams will follow a lighter-practice maintenance plan that rotates rest days to help him peak during the season’s most demanding stretches.
• Los Angeles is shifting its offensive scheme toward quick-separation timing routes—including slants, hitches and outs—to speed Stafford’s release and reduce his exposure to hits.
