Warren McClendon enters 2026 season as Rams' starting right tackle

Warren McClendon begins his first full year as the Los Angeles Rams' starting right tackle during training camp. Last season, he succeeded veteran Rob Havenstein in Week 12 and ranked 15th among all tackles based on Pro Football Focus metrics. While McClendon has established himself in the upper tier of tackles, he faces pressure to improve his play, particularly in pass protection. The Rams have significant contract decisions approaching, with McClendon potentially heading to free agency if not extended before the 2027 season.
