Stetson Bennett threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown during the Rams' 34-17 preseason loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Rams defensive star Aaron Donald finally got to mix it up with some live-action play against the Raiders in a joint practice, but wasn’t totally pleased with his performance.“I had to handle some bad moments more than I had to [against the Chargers],” Bennett said, adding, “It sucks to have to do, but you’ve got to do it at some point…. The more that that has to happen — hopefully it doesn’t happen that often — then you know how to respond from the bad ones and go on to the good ones.
“I saw his release, checked the safety and just put it there,” Bennett said. “And while it was in the air I was, ‘Look, look,’ and he did, it was right there and he made a heck of a play.”In a surprise move, Rams star defensive lineman Aaron Donald was in uniform for pregame warmups.Had Donald played, it would have marked the three-time NFL defensive player of the year’s first preseason game since 2016.
McVay said Donald’s appearance in warmups was kind of a “dress rehearsal” for the 10th-year pro because he will not travel with the team to Denver for joint practices and the final preseason game.Like Donald did on Saturday, established and projected starters who will not play in preseason games will go through pregame preparations and warmups in Denver, McVay said.Near the end of training camp, the Rams signed veteran safety John Johnson III to a veteran-minimum contract.
But under McVay, the Rams have been at their best when they have three reliable tight ends. Think Higbee, Gerald Everett and Johnny Mundt.
