Overview

  • Omar Speights is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is unlikely to play Sunday, though he is not expected to go on injured reserve.
  • Sean McVay said Troy Reeder and Shaun Dolac are splitting first-team reps this week, with the staff deciding the starter before kickoff.
  • The Rams may rotate both candidates next to Nate Landman based on situations, according to team practice reporting.
  • Troy Reeder is a veteran option who saw limited snaps last week and surrendered a red-zone touchdown to Christian McCaffrey.
  • Shaun Dolac is an undrafted rookie who has yet to play a defensive snap but has stood out on special teams and was a 2024 Consensus All-American at Buffalo.
