The Los Angeles Rams held their first practice at a new facility; however, linebacker Ernest Jones IV was absent. Jones is in the final year of his contract, and the Rams have permitted him to explore trades.
Coach Sean McVay confirmed that Jones did not request a trade, despite some confusion. The retirement of Aaron Donald has heightened Jones's importance to the team.
As the Rams prepare for the opener against Detroit, the coaching staff is closely monitoring player situations, with potential changes affecting the roster.
