The Los Angeles Rams are set to host the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium on August 21, 2026, in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Quarterback Ty Simpson is coming off a strong debut against the Chiefs, with hopes of maintaining consistency in his performance. The Rams are focusing on improving their wide receiver depth, as they look to fill the WR3 position behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The Rams' defense showed promise in the preseason opener, successfully limiting the Chiefs to under 200 passing yards and no touchdowns. Fans will look for continued developments from rookie players like tight end Max Klare and running back Dean Connors in this matchup against New Orleans.
