Rams finalize 53-man roster with seven wide receivers for 2026 season
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams confirmed a 53-man roster featuring seven wide receivers heading into the 2026 season. The unit is led by Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, supported by Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell, and CJ Daniels. Head coach Sean McVay cited the group's complementary skill sets and strong performance during training camp as reasons for keeping the expanded receiver room. Adams, who enters the season as the team's primary veteran leader, noted that the group benefits from continuity and high focus after working together throughout the offseason. The Rams plan to integrate this depth to support quarterback Matthew Stafford as the team prepares for its Week 1 matchup. This strategy aims to build upon the performance of Nacua and Adams, who both produced high receiving totals in previous seasons.
