Rams who must play well vs. Saints on Saturday

The Los Angeles Rams play the New Orleans Saints on Saturday, two days after a joint practice at the Rams’ facility on Thursday. It’s the second preseason game for each team, with backups getting the spotlight after starters faced each other earlier in practice. For Los Angeles, several roster decisions remain unsettled, so Saturday’s performance could shape coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead’s direction. The article highlights four players who need strong showings: RB Jarquez Hunter, OL Beaux Limmer, OLB Desjuan Johnson, and CB Cam Lampkin. Hunter will try to rediscover the big-play impact he showed in college. Limmer must continue a solid run after limiting pressures and sacks against the Chiefs. Johnson is competing in a tight edge/OLB battle after transitioning from defensive tackle. Lampkin is fighting for the fifth cornerback spot and needs consistency after a mixed outing vs. Kansas City.
