Sean McVay praises Rams defense during return to Woodland Hills

The Los Angeles Rams returned to their practice facility in Woodland Hills on August 8, 2026, after training at Loyola Marymount University. Coach Sean McVay expressed satisfaction with the first-team defense, which forced several turnovers and disrupted the offense's rhythm during practice. He noted standout performances, particularly from safety Kamren Kinchens. McVay emphasized that he is focused on strong defensive execution and praised the communication within the secondary. Looking forward, the Rams will have joint practices with the Dallas Cowboys next week, which McVay sees as beneficial for competitive preparation without the risks associated with preseason games.
