Rams host Saints for joint practice focusing on key player evaluations

The Los Angeles Rams are set to hold a joint practice with the New Orleans Saints on Thursday in Woodland Hills. Following an off day, the Rams look to build on their preseason efforts, especially given the intensity of a prior Saints practice that saw multiple altercations. Key storylines include the performance of Ty Simpson, who impressed in his preseason debut, and the participation of sidelined players Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua. The Rams will also assess their wide receiver depth amid injuries and fill the backup right tackle position due to Keagen Trost's hamstring injury. As the last joint practice of the summer unfolds, there is anticipation for how the Rams defense will perform against the Saints offense.
