The Los Angeles Rams went to great lengths to shore up the depth and quality of their offensive line in preparation for the 2025 NFL season. The team opted to go heavy up front, carrying 10 veteran offensive linemen on the 53-man roster while parking three more on the practice squad. But that depth didn’t help much in Week 1.
Perhaps it was the lack of preseason preparation, as the starting five didn’t practice together until the week leading up to the opener. LT Alaric Jackson was held out of contact due to a medical condition and wasn’t cleared until the last possible moment.
