WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. The Los Angeles Rams have announced the dates for their offseason workout program as the franchise is set to kick off another season filled with championship ambitions.

The Rams' Workout Schedule

The Rams will begin activities on April 20th before conducting their organized team practices, also known as OTAs.

OTAs will be from May 26th-28th, June 1st-2nd, June 4th, June 8th-9th, June 11th.

The Rams will then host their mandatory minicamp from June 15th-16th.

After that, the Rams will have a break before beginning training camp. Once training camp commences, that will begin the Rams' 2026 campaign, with their only expected break until their end of the season, coming during their BYE week.

Why OTAs Matter For the Rams

While OTAs are not typically used as an evaluation period, more of an instructional course to prepare for competition in training camp, they serve as a barometer of where the team is at and which position groups could have battles entering the latter parts of summer.

Last season, during my first year on the beat, OTAs were the first activity for which I was credentialed. Having that access, I saw several players take massive steps first hand. Emmanuel Forbes, Konata Mumpfield, and others took major steps towards carving out starting roles as the season progressed.

For newcomers like Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson and others, this serves as a pivotal time to get acquainted with their teammates and with the scheme. On top of that, the Rams made several moves on their coaching staff, and this time will help them adjust to their new roles.

Nate Scheelhaase and Dave Ragone are now co-offensive coordinators, helping replace Mike LaFleur, who is now the Arizona Cardinals head coach. Rob Calabrese is expected to replace Scheelhaase's former responsibilities as passing game coordinator for the offense, while former players Brian Allen and Robert Woods will make their full-time coaching debuts.

On the defensive side of the ball, Jimmy Lake replaces Aubrey Pleasant as pass game coordinator as the Rams look to revamp their secondary after investing over $200 million into the group.

What To Expect

These will be light contact, non-padded practices for the most part, but the entire program is designed to help players get back into football shape before the physical demands of training camp come around. No live contact will be permitted, and this period will be critical for the team in installing the foundation of the philosophy they will be taking into the regular season.
