Rams Finalize 53-Man Roster for 2026 Season
16 sourcesUpdated Aug 30, 2026
The Los Angeles Rams have finalized their 53-man roster for 2026, headlined by three quarterbacks: Matthew Stafford, Stetson Bennett, and Ty Simpson. The roster signals a high-octane offense and a defense around Aaron Donald, who has returned to the interior along with a reworked front seven and reshaped secondary. The team made a notable trade, sending Jarquez Hunter to the Dolphins, and placed several players on injured reserve, including Justin Dedich and Keagen Trost. Undrafted rookie Wesley Bailey earned a spot on defense as part of a youth infusion alongside veterans. Los Angeles opens the season in Melbourne against the 49ers, with remaining depth chart questions at quarterback behind Stafford. The Rams’ public framing emphasizes a depth-heavy, personnel-rich approach as they pursue a strong start to 2026.
