7 takeaways from Rams’ preseason loss to Raiders

Here’s what we learned from the Rams’ 17-16 loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.

With three weeks to go until the preseason opener, the Los Angeles Rams are still sorting through their current roster trying to figure out which players on the bubble will make the team and how the depth chart will shake out.
