The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for their final preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, with a focus on several players who are vying for a spot on the 53-man roster. The upcoming game is critical as the Rams must finalize their roster by August 30 at 6 PM EST.
The potential return of star player Aaron Donald adds complexity to roster decisions, as his presence would require an additional cut.
Among the players to watch is cornerback Cam Lampkin, who has demonstrated solid performance this preseason, including two pass breakups and a grade of 71.6 against the Saints. Lampkin is competing with Al'zillion Hamilton, Nyzier Fourqurean, and Alex Johnson for a cornerback position. A strong showing in the final game could enhance his chances of making the team.
On the offensive line, guard Bill Murray has made a compelling case for inclusion after achieving the highest PFF grade of 92.3 in the second preseason game. His consistent performance could solidify his role as a depth player, especially with current injuries affecting teammates Keagen Trost and Justin Dedich.
Defensive tackle Tim Keenan III is also on the roster bubble, particularly if Donald returns. Keenan has recorded six tackles and one sack this preseason, showcasing his skills in both run defense and quarterback pressure. However, he faces stiff competition in a talented position group, and a standout performance on Thursday could improve his chances.
