Chiefs 2022 schedule preview, Week 12: Rams

Our @Nicolas_Roesch takes an early look at the #Chiefs’ Week 12 opponent and some things to monitor as the #Rams progress through training camp.

In Week 12, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in a rematch of one of the greatest games from the 2018 NFL season.

The Rams have one of the most talented rosters in the league and are all in for a repeat. They restructured superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald’s contract, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. They also bolstered their wide receiving corps by signing former Pro Bowler Allen Robinson, making an already dangerous offense even better.

Although Los Angeles has plenty of playmaking weapons, they did lose a couple of key pieces along their offensive line after Andrew Whitworth retired and Austin Corbett left in free agency. Longtime backup Joseph Noteboom will try to fill Whitworth’s shoes and rookie Logan Bruss will compete to fill the void left by Corbett.

The Rams also lost a couple of key defenders in tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day, linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Darious Williams. They made a big splash signing for their linebacker corps, however, inking linebacker Bobby Wagner to a five-year, $65 million contract. With those moves in mind, let’s take a look at some of the Rams’ key players and their outlooks heading into the regular season:
