Puka Nacua questionable for Monday Night Football

Puka Nacua missed his second straight day of practice on Saturday due to a hip injury and Sean McVay says that the Los Angeles Rams will list him as questionable for Monday Night Football against the Giants. Nacua suffered a psoas injury in training camp but participated in Week 1’s loss to the San Francisco […]

Aaron Donald can solidify himself as the best (again)

Aaron Donald is expecting to play for the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, and if things go bad, there will be plenty to talk about. But if Donald can find a way to help the Rams win or simply dominate on his own accord, then he’ll once again solidify himself as one of […]

College football game day

All eyes should be on the LSU-Ole Miss drama, but there are a handful of interesting match ups. These are the 10 games TST will be monitoring, but feel free to weigh in on any game or prospects that strike your fancy. All times PDT #2 Georgia @ Arkansas 9am ABC Eyes on: After a […]

Puka Nacua misses Rams’ practice on Friday

Puka Nacua’s status for Monday’s game against the New York Giants is in doubt, as the L.A. Rams’ star receiver did not practice on Friday due to a hip injury. It is not clear if the injury is the same as the psoas injury that caused Nacua to miss a string of practices in training […]

Aaron Donald plans to make debut on Monday

Aaron Donald told reporters on Friday that he plans to play for the Los Angeles Rams against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The future Hall of Fame defensive tackle has not played since the 2024 season but started planning for his return in the offseason, making it public after the Rams traded […]

Rams Reacts: Fans worried about season, Myles Garrett injury

The Los Angeles Rams went into the 2026 season as favorites to win the Super Bowl, but after their Week 1 loss, those great expectations have been shaken with less than 33% of the fanbase surveyed confident the franchise is moving in the right direction. More than two-thirds of the fanbase surveyed are not confident, […]

With Rams linebackers hurting, should Shaun Dolac start?

There was more to the story than just the score of the Los Angeles Rams pummeling at the hands of the arch-rival San Francisco 49ers last week. A physical toll was paid as well, particularly in the linebacker unit. Both starters Nate Landman (shoulder/thumb) and Omar Speights (hip) were nicked up.  Reports out of L.A. […]

Bold predictions for Rams-Giants Monday Night Football

My Week 1 bold predictions were a bust; going 0 for 5. But that is the nature of making bold predictions—they are designed to go beyond the obvious and challenge conventional expectations. The Los Angeles Rams will look to rebound Monday night after a disappointing Week 1 performance against the San Francisco 49ers. Los Angeles […]

Sean McVay hopeful Rams don’t play in Australia again

If teleportation existed, and or had the Los Angeles Rams won in Australia, then perhaps Sean McVay would feel different, but as it stands McVay is happy the game in Australia is over. McVay is hopeful the Rams never have to play a game like that again. McVay, a true company man, says the atmosphere […]

In absence of Myles Garrett, Rams look to Wesley Bailey

Wesley Bailey was considered a better prospect in the CFL than the NFL, but less than six months after his name wasn’t called in the 2026 NFL draft, the edge rusher finds himself in a position to support the L.A. Rams in the absence of superstar Myles Garrett. The Rams placed Garrett on injury reserve […]

Would a win over Giants really fix the Rams?

Who are the 2026 Los Angeles Rams? Apparently not who we thought. LA was considered a “super team” and a historical Super Bowl favorite entering the year. They were blown out by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Next to nothing went right for the Rams. The team’s second game—against the New York Giants […]

Giants’ run game will be a major test for the Rams

The Los Angeles Rams were poor across the board in Week 1, but especially against the run, nearly giving up 200 yards to the 49ers. With New York coming to town, the Giants’ running game will pose one of the tougher challenges to the Rams’ iffy run defense this season. In the 20-point season-opening loss, […]

Bills, Bears, and Jags beat Rams at their own game

The Los Angeles Rams became so synonymous with 13 personnel in 2025 that using three tight ends practically became called “the Sean McVay style”, but in Week 1 the copycat league beat the Rams at their own game. The Rams ran 13 personnel on 36.8% of their plays against the 49ers last week, which is […]

Rams-Giants keys to victory: 3rd down success

The Los Angeles Rams will look to bounce back in Week 2 when they face the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. For keys to victory in Week 1, I mentioned how the Rams needed to run, run, and run some more on offense. They ran the ball in the first half, but they […]

Who faces more pressure in Week 2, Sean McVay or Chris Shula?

I’d argue that the headline is a bit of a trick question, as both Sean McVay and Chris Shula need to get the Los Angeles Rams, and their respective units back on track after a disappointing showing against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Both are under tremendous pressure. Where was the complimentary football? […]

The personnel grouping that makes Rams dangerous can’t save a deficit

The rest of the NFL was quick to emulate the Los Angeles Rams’ frequent deployment of 13 personnel (one RB, three TE’s) over the offseason. But LA was forced off their spot as soon as Week 1. The San Francisco 49ers took away the Rams’ most effective personnel grouping and cornered them into running 11 […]

Not all 0-1 NFC teams should be hitting the panic button

The Los Angeles Rams got off to the worst start imaginable in Week 1, but several other playoff-hopeful NFC teams did too. Playoff teams from last season, including the Rams, Packers and Panthers, lost their season openers, each in a spectacularly depressing fashion. In fact, Los Angeles and Green Bay are the only winless teams […]

Rams’ decision not to draft a linebacker could cost them

When the Los Angeles Rams opted to trade their first-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, they also bypassed the opportunity to draft back-to-back Defensive Rookie of the Year players. The Rams traded pick 26 to the Falcons and shortly thereafter the Cleveland Browns drafted linebacker Carson Schwesinger at 33, a rookie who ended […]

Aaron Donald has ‘realistic’ chance to play vs. Giants

There is a “very, very realistic chance” that Aaron Donald could play for the Los Angeles Rams against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Given the injury to Myles Garrett that will keep the Rams’ star pass rusher out for at least a month, Donald’s return […]

Rams vs. Giants: Sean McVay still gives L.A. an advantage

The Los Angeles Rams return home for a Monday Night Football showdown against the New York Giants after disappointing in their season opener. The Rams were defeated 27-7 by the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia; struggling offensively while allowing Brock Purdy and the 49ers to control the game. Matthew Stafford finished with 155 passing […]

The Giants showed they can be ‘dangerous’, will the Rams?

Matthew Stafford referred to the New York Giants as a “dangerous” football team, and he further explained that every team in the NFL has a chance to be dangerous. The logic that any team can be dangerous makes sense as every team is made up of the best talent in the world. So, by extension, […]

Are Rams putting their new corners in the best position to succeed?

The Los Angeles Rams made two of the biggest offseason acquisitions in Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. McDuffie was brought in via a blockbuster trade. Watson was an out of character free agent investment by LA. But why would the Rams acquire two premium corners if they were going to run a defense designed for […]

Sean McVay & Rams W-L record following a 49ers loss

The Los Angeles Rams opened the 2026 season with a disappointing loss to the San Francisco 49ers, leaving Sean McVay and his team with plenty to evaluate heading into Week 2. While the result was not what the Rams wanted, McVay frequently emphasizes one important message following adversity: “controlling their response”. That response will be […]
