Overview
- Starting inside linebacker Omar Speights suffered a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss the Ravens game, with injured reserve considered unlikely.
- Sean McVay said Troy Reeder and Shaun Dolac are splitting first-team reps this week, and the Rams could use both next to Nate Landman even though only one will start on paper.
- Defensive coordinator Chris Shula emphasized execution and communication in practice and praised Dolac’s quick grasp of the scheme and diligent preparation.
- Dolac, an undrafted rookie who led the FBS in tackles last season, has contributed exclusively on special teams so far for Los Angeles.
- Reeder, a veteran depth option with limited recent defensive snaps, was on the field for a red-zone play against the 49ers that ended in a Christian McCaffrey touchdown reception.
