Rams face offensive tackle depth concerns early in 2026 NFL season

The Los Angeles Rams open the 2026 season with questions surrounding the stability of their offensive line. Analysis from ESPN indicates the offensive tackle position is the team's primary area of concern regarding roster depth. Potential challenges include a possible suspension for left tackle Alaric Jackson and an injury currently impacting Keagen Trost. David Quessenberry remains on the depth chart, though he is not viewed as an ideal long-term solution. Meanwhile, Warren McClendon Jr. is slated to take over starting duties at right tackle. While the interior offensive line is considered stable, the lack of depth at the tackle positions threatens the team's ability to protect Matthew Stafford. A consistent inability to address these vacancies could limit the effectiveness of the team's offense throughout the season.
