The Los Angeles Rams will open training camp with championship expectations, a new elite target for Matthew Stafford and several major questions to settle before the 2025 season begins. Players, including rookies and veterans, are scheduled to report July 23 at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Rams 2025 training camp preview: Davante Adams, rookies and Kyren Williams lead key questions
Los Angeles enters camp after winning the NFC West and pushing the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles to the brink in the Divisional Round. The Rams have added Davante Adams to a passing game led by Stafford and Puka Nacua, raising the ceiling for a club that still had uneven offensive production last season.
Despite its postseason run, the Rams finished 26th in the NFL in total offense in 2024 and ranked 17th in scoring. Camp will offer the first extended look at how quickly Adams can absorb Sean McVay’s system and establish timing with Stafford. His ability to complement Nacua, rather than simply add another high-profile name to the receiver room, could determine whether Los Angeles becomes a consistently explosive offense again.
The Rams’ recent draft record also puts attention on their newest rookie class. Los Angeles has found major contributors throughout the draft in recent years, including Kyren Williams, Kobie Turner, Nacua, Jared Verse and Braden Fiske. This year’s group does not arrive with the same level of fanfare, but several selections carry clear developmental intrigue.
Third-round defensive end Josaiah Stewart, fourth-round running back Jarquez Hunter and seventh-round wide receiver Konata Mumpfield will be among the rookies to watch. Second-round tight end Terrance Ferguson could have the most immediate opening. Tyler Higbee is still working his way back from a serious knee injury, while Colby Parkinson has been viewed primarily as a blocker, leaving Ferguson with an opportunity to earn a meaningful role in the passing game.
The backfield is another central storyline. Williams posted a second consecutive 1,000-yard season in 2024, finishing with 1,299 rushing yards. He accounted for an NFL-high 73.6 percent of the Rams’ rushing production and handled a career-high 316 carries, exceeding the 263 attempts he logged over his first two seasons combined.
Williams and the Rams are working toward a contract extension, while the team has continued to invest in younger backs. Los Angeles drafted Blake Corum in 2024 and added Hunter this spring, creating the possibility that Williams’ workload could be managed more carefully. How the contract talks progress and how McVay divides backfield reps will be closely monitored throughout camp.
Preseason and early regular-season tests
The Rams begin preseason play at home against the Dallas Cowboys at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 9. They remain in Los Angeles for a matchup with the Chargers at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 16, before traveling to face the Cleveland Browns at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Los Angeles will face sharply different regular-season challenges early in the year. The Rams visit the Tennessee Titans in Week 2; Tennessee finished with the NFL’s worst record in 2024 and used the first overall selection in the 2025 draft. In Week 3, the Rams travel to Philadelphia for a meeting with the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles.
