Darryl Peterson III shines in Rams preseason finale against Chargers

Darryl Peterson III delivered a standout performance for the Los Angeles Rams in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers on August 28, 2026. The former Wisconsin linebacker recorded two sacks, including a game-sealing strip sack on Chargers quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei in the final minute. His contributions helped the Rams finish the preseason undefeated. Peterson, who is vying for a roster spot as an undrafted free agent, showcased his abilities after being left off a recent projected 53-man roster. His impressive display may strengthen his chances of making the final cut as the team prepares for upcoming roster decisions.
