It’s officially go time in Los Angeles. As the Rams touch down at Loyola Marymount University for training camp, the 2025 season kicks off with plenty of buzz, some bruises, and a whole lot of belief. From quarterback updates to Krav Maga training sessions, this team is locked in and looking for redemption after last year’s playoff heartbreak. Here’s everything On The Rampage with your Los Angeles Rams as of today, July 22.

💥 Quarterback Watch: Stafford on Ice (For Now)

Rams fans can exhale—a little. Starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is dealing with some back soreness and will sit out the first five days of camp, working closely with the team’s training staff. No panic in the building though—Sean McVay says Stafford is expected to be fully ready for Week 1. In the meantime, Jimmy Garoppolo takes over first-team reps, giving the Rams a seasoned veteran presence under center while Stafford eases back in.

Meanwhile, Dresser Winn has been brought back into the fold—again. This marks Winn’s third stint with the team, and while his role may be limited, his familiarity with the system gives the Rams a depth advantage most teams would envy.

🚑 Injury Roundup: Good News, Caution Flags, and One Full Recovery

• Rob Havenstein is back at 100%. The veteran tackle is fully cleared from offseason shoulder surgery and ready to anchor the line from day one.
• Alaric Jackson will be eased in as he manages blood clot-related health concerns. Expect him in walkthroughs and individual work but not full contact.
• Kyren Williams has put the “hold-in” rumors to bed. The dynamic RB is present and active at camp, even as contract talks continue in the background.
• Terrance Ferguson, the promising rookie tight end, is officially signed and ready to roll, rounding out the Rams’ 2025 draft class.
• Less fortunate? Jonah Jackson and Tre’Davious White are both questionable with Achilles issues, and tight end Tyler Higbee remains sidelined following surgery on both the ACL and MCL.

🧠 Offseason Upgrades: Smarter, Stronger, Sharper

L.A.’s front office didn’t waste a second this offseason. Protecting Stafford was priority number one. With Jackson returning and Kevin Dotson re-signed, the Rams are reinforcing the trenches with proven talent.

On defense, secondary concerns were addressed in bold fashion. Kamren Curl was brought in to lock down the back end, and the team welcomed back Darious Williams, injecting experience and versatility into the DB room.

💪 Defensive Grit: Krav Maga and Circle Dates

The defense is hungry. Fueled by last year’s postseason sting, the Rams’ D-line spent a full week training with Krav Maga expert Al “Poodie” Carson. The result? Confidence—and apparently—an “unstoppable” mindset.

Kobie Turner let it slip that Week 3 vs. Philadelphia is circled on the calendar. After the bitter playoff exit, this matchup at SoFi Stadium is personal. Expect fireworks.

🏈 Training Camp & Preseason

Training camp officially kicks off today at Loyola Marymount University. From now until early August, eyes will be locked on position battles, injury recoveries, and rookie performances.

The Rams’ preseason slate includes:

• August 9: vs. Denver Broncos
• August 16: at Las Vegas Raiders
• August 23: vs. Arizona Cardinals

Then, it’s time to lock in for Week 1—a September 7 season opener at home against the Houston Texans.

🏆 Legends & Legacy: Suh Bows Out

Ndamukong Suh, a pillar of the Rams’ 2018 Super Bowl run, officially announced his retirement this week. A disruptor, leader, and longtime warrior in the trenches, Suh’s impact on this franchise (and league) won’t be forgotten. Respect.

Final Thought: Countdown to SoFi

From retooled lines to leadership continuity, the Rams are entering camp with fire in their bellies and a chip on their shoulder. With veterans healing, rookies signing, and coaches preaching intensity, this team isn’t just preparing for another season—they’re hunting redemption.

Stay tuned. It’s only Day One.
