The Los Angeles Rams were one of the first teams to hold their starters out of action for the entire preseason, a strategy deployed by Sean McVay when he took over as head coach in 2017. They’ve been very cautious with their top players in meaningless exhibition games, choosing not to put them in harm’s way before the season begins.
Well, that strategy will have to change this year. The Rams don’t have the luxury of resting their starters this preseason because there simply aren’t as many clear-cut starters on the roster as there have been in years past. That’s the result of having such a young roster that’s lacking star players such as Jalen Ramsey, Bobby Wagner, Leonard Floyd and Allen Robinson – all of whom were in L.A. last season.
