The 2025 Los Angeles Rams Preseason has drawn to a close. The last three weeks have flown by, but it has showcased some star potential at many positions for the team.

Below are my final predictions for the 2025 Los Angeles Rams initial 53-man roster. 

Quarterback | 3

QB1 - Matthew Stafford

QB2 - Jimmy Garoppolo

QB3 - Stetson Bennett IV

Cut - Dresser Winn

Dresser Winn has already been cut, and I don't see any possible way that Bennett is cut following the incredible preseason that he has had. The Rams likely see him as the long-term solution at backup. They will carry three QB's the entirety of the season barring an injury.

Running Back - Half Back | 4

RB1 - Kyren Williams

RB2 - Blake Corum

RB3 - Jarquez Hunter

RB4 - Cody Schrader

Cut - Ronnie Rivers, Jordan Waters

Jordan Waters made this battle somewhat interesting when he joined the game late against the Browns, but it wasn't enough in my eyes. One drive doesn't surpass what Cody Schrader was able to do for three straight weeks. This being said, I do hope that Waters finds his way onto the Rams practice squad, they may have a great future depth player with him.

Wide Receiver | 7

WR1 - Puka Nacua

WR2 - Davante Adams

WR3 - Jordan Whittington

WR4 - Tutu Atwell

WR5 - Konata Mumpfield

WR6 - Xavier Smith

WR7 - Brennan Presley

Cut - Britain Covey, Mario Williams, Drake Stoops, Tru Edwards

I chose to keep Presley again this week, I can't find it in myself to put him into the 'cut' zone after what he's done. He can simply do it all; incredible hands, exceptional speed, agile and clutch when it matters most.

He may end up being the team's kick/punt returner at some point this season. The Rams brought in Britain Covey seemingly for that job alone. However, with a player like Presley able to do that job, and be an effective receiver as well, there's no need for Covey.

Tight End | 4

TE1 - Tyler Higbee

TE2 - Terrance Ferguson

TE3 - Colby Parkinson

TE4 - Davis Allen

Cut - Mark Redman, McCallan Castles

McCallan Castles has already been cut and the same should unfortunately be true for Mark Redman soon enough. The Rams will carry four TE's to start, but the possiblity of Colby Parkinson being traded is growing.

Offensive Line | 10

LT1 - Alaric Jackson

LG1 - Steve Avila

C1 - Coleman Shelton

RG1 - Kevin Dotson
RT1 - Rob Havenstein

OT+C - Beaux Limmer
OT - D.J. Humphries

OT - Warren McClendon Jr.

G - Justin Dedich

G - Willie Lampkin

Cut - KT Leveston, David Quessenberry, Dylan McMahon, A.J. Arcuri, Wyatt Bowles, Ben Dooley, Trey Wedig

This battle has certainly become more interesting with the untimely injury to Willie Lampkin, but I have no changes from last week here.

Lampkin will likely be placed on IR following the waiver deadline, and the Rams will deal with that matter separately.

As I stated in previous editions of this, McVay sees something in Warren McClendon Jr., so keeping him on the roster is a no-brainer.

Inside Defensive Line | 5

DT1 - Kobie Turner

DT2 - Braden Fiske

DT3 - Ty Hamilton

NT1 - Poona Ford
NT2 - Tyler Davis

Cut - Larrell Murchison, Desjuan Johnson, Bill Norton, Da'Jon Terry, Decarius Hawthorne, Jack Heflin

This battle really heated up more than initially expected, but it ends up the being the same lineup as it started.

Ty Hamilton got a bit closer to comfort to the possibility of being waived than I'm sure wanted to, but the Rams gave up too much draft capital to let him go with nothing in return.

Desjuan Johnson stood out the last couple weeks of the Preseason, expect him to be a staple on the PS this season.

Outside Linebacker | 4

ROLB - Jared Verse

LOLB - Byron Young

OLB - Josaiah Stewart

OLB - Brennan Jackson

Cut - Keir Thomas, Nick Hampton, Josh Pearcy, Jamil Muhammad

Brennan Jackson ends up winning the battle, unfortunately in a bitter way as Keir Thomas will miss the entirety of the 2025 season.

Jackson has stepped his game up the last two weeks and has earned a spot on the roster. I think even if Thomas was healthy, it would be a competitive battle.

Inside Linebacker | 4

Run iLB - Nate Landman

Run iLB - Omar Speights

Coverage iLB - Chris Paul Jr.

Coverage iLB - Shaun Dolac

Cut - Troy Reeder, Elias Neal, Tony Fields II

Shaun Dolac has been all but confirmed to have made the 53-man roster at this point having sat out the final Preseason game on Saturday, and having seen time with the first team defense at practice.

With this, Troy Reeder seemingly is the odd man out. Many Rams fans may rejoice from this news.

Cornerback - 5

CB1 - Darious Williams

CB2 - Ahkello Witherspoon

CB3 - Cobie Durant

CB4 - Emmanuel Forbes Jr.

CB5 - Josh Wallace

Cut - Cam Lampkin, Charles Woods, Derion Kendrick, Shaun Jolly, A.J. Green

Once again, no changes. The Rams seem to be quite happy with this unit. Rightfully so, it has a lot of potential that is going unnoticed simply due to the lack of big names.

I continue to believe that A.J. Green will be a great PS player for the team in the unfortunate case of one of their starters going down.

Safety - 4

SS1 - Kamren Curl

FS1 - Kamren Kinchens

SS2 - Quentin Lake

FS2 - Jaylen McCollough

Cut - Tanner Ingle, Nate Varcarcel, Malik Dixon-Williams

Valcarcel has been quiet since the Cowboys game, though Tanner Ingle has made his name known. In back-to-back weeks he has made game wrecking and arguably 'dirty' plans to disrupt the opposing teams offense.

Even with this though, I can't see the Rams keeping a fifth safety when they don't need it.

Special Teams - 3

LS - Alex Ward

K - Joshua Karty

P - Ethan Evans

Cuts - None

Once again, no changes, special teams unit is locked!
