Rams' McVay assigns play calling to Scheelhaase for Saturday's game

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has announced that offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase will call plays during the preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. This marks Scheelhaase's second time calling plays in a preseason game, following a similar opportunity last year against the L.A. Chargers. McVay is providing Scheelhaase with this experience amid interest from other franchises as a potential head coach, following interviews with several teams during the 2026 hiring cycle. The game will give Scheelhaase a chance to showcase his capabilities, particularly as he leads rookie quarterbacks Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson.
