The Los Angeles Rams are spending the week in Denver before their preseason game against the Broncos on Saturday night, and they’ll get a chance to hold two practices with their upcoming opponent leading up to the game.
The Rams and Broncos will practice together on Wednesday and Thursday morning, just as Los Angeles did with the Raiders last week. While most of the starters won’t play in Saturday’s game, this is a chance for them to practice against another opponent before Week 1.
Follow along for live updates from Rams-Broncos practice on Wednesday.

Damarri Mathis threw down Van Jefferson. And scuffle ensued. Not sure why Mathis threw him down. It was separated fairly quickly. Fans here loved it. #Denver7 #Broncos

Rams win the day
A few notes on #broncos and #rams joint practice:
– Stafford was locked in from start to finish. Including a fade to the corner for a TD in 2-min to end practice.
– Cooper Kupp vs Patrick Surtain was fun to watch. Kupp had a great day overall. Still one of the very best in the…— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) August 23, 2023
It wasn’t terrible for the Broncos in joint practice No. 1 — in other words, not like when SF came in and dominated a 2019 joint session here at Broncos HQ. But the Rams definitely took the day overall — especially ones vs. ones.
