Major Storylines

Countdown to Camp #1: Super Bowl or bust

We’ll be tracking three major areas for updates throughout camp:

Injuries

Always the elephant in the room, training camp injuries can change seasons before they even start. The Rams have already lost DE/OLB Morgan Fox for the season due to a torn ACL in the offseason program, but the Rams also start with four players unavailable:

Physically Unable To Perform (PUP) List - Active

Non-Football Injury (NFI) List - Active

Offense

Head Coach Sean McVay changed the entire way to think about the Rams after 2017. No longer a defensively-led team, the Rams had one of the top offenses in the NFL in scoring while racking up tons of yards to boot.

What will 2018 hold? Who will emerge as new contributors aside from the obvious addition of WR Brandin Cooks? How will he integrate into the offense in place of WR Sammy Watkins after Cooks signed a major contract extension? Which 2017 rookies like WR Cooper Kupp, TE Gerald Everett and WR Josh Reynolds make the jump as second-year guys?

How does McVay take one of the NFL’s offenses and make them even better?

Defense

Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips has a hell of a job to do this year. Out go ILB Alec Ogletree and EDGE Robert Quinn. In come DL Ndamukong Suh, CB Marcus Peters and CB Aqib Talib.

Can he ensure the new pieces jell together? Can the Rams remain focused on the task at hand defensively with heightened expectations and the absence of star DL Aaron Donald?

How does the linebacking unit develop with three new starters? As of today, the base 3-4 would seem to include EDGE Samson Ebukam, EDGE Matt Longacre and ILB Cory Littleton. Does that change over the course of camp?
