Greetings from Melbourne, Australia, a place set 17 hours in the future. A video look at how the Rams and 49ers are taking opposite approaches to this jet leg battle:
No. I’m here about 3x as long as they are and also did not get a bed on the flight over. So it’ll all just hit me on my way back.
Manny Bothans@gavinrp.bsky.social · 9h agoG’Morning Nate! Are you taking the same approach as the Rams’ schedule?

Asked several times about whether he’ll play in Australia, Aaron Donald said, “I feel good, I feel really good,” with a wide smile. But no promises.
We made some bold predictions on every NFL team for @theathletic.com. My Rams prediction is about the new-look defense: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

Myles Garrett is out here for a second straight day of Rams practice.
Rams DC Chris Shula declined to say whether Aaron Donald has taken 11-on-11 reps in practice yet. But he said he’s super excited to have him back on the team and welcomes any challenge of fitting him in.
Mayors Garrett and Aaron Donald out here at a very rainy Rams practice.
I asked Davante Adams about the ice pack on his knee during the presser: “I’m an old-ass man.” He said he’s feeling pretty good heading into his 13th season.
Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett will practice today for the Rams. Sean McVay said he’ll update their game status for Week 1 on Tuesday.
The Rams didn’t make their flashy moves on special teams, but they have changed up a lot after last season’s disasters. So what exactly is different? Let’s dive in: www.nytimes.com/athletic/754...
For as loaded as the Rams roster has gotten on offense and defense, they have a giant lingering question out there: It’s special teams. A look at what they’re trying to change — from leaders acquired, practices rewired and starters playing teams: www.nytimes.com/athletic/754...

Sean McVay said the plan is for all of the Rams players to travel to Australia for Week 1 against the 49ers. No commitment yet from Sean McVay on whether Aaron Donald will be able to play in that game yet.
I joined Ari Meirov’s podcast to preview the Rams this season. Good convo that covered a lot in 40 minutes — Aaron Donald impact, Matthew Stafford’s back, crazy travel schedule, Super Bowl expectations and upcoming free agents: youtu.be/mQARcHurRdQ?...

The Rams have cut 7th-round DT Tim Keenan III from the practice squad to make room for LB Jamie Sherriff. L.A. is down to four players drafted this year and one of them, 3rd-round OL Keagan Trost, will miss at least the first four games on injured reserve.
The Rams defense has been supercharged with the additions of Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie, Aaron Donald and Jaylen Watson. But in what ways will it be different? What excites players most? Let’s dive into the possibilities — and how endless they can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/755...

Aaron Donald is not practicing today. Just working out in the weight room. No Myles Garrett (knee) either. Terrance Ferguson (soreness) and Grant Stuard are working off to the side. Puka Nacua and Byron Young are practicing.
All this talk about, “Who will be the Rams WR3?” Have you people not heard about Daejon Love?
The Rams announced their practice squad. All familiar faces from this summer, including RB Dean Connors, CB Cam Lampkin, S Nick Andersen, OT Blake Hance and 7th-round DT Tim Keenan III.
I’m hopping on 570 AM here in L.A. in 5 minutes to talk all things Aaron Donald return. Listen here: am570lasports.iheart.com/featured/lun...
