Rams rookies shined in a tight 19-17 preseason loss to Cleveland, with Terrance Ferguson showing as Higbee’s heir apparent after a hamstring layoff. Dresser Winn engineered a late drive, while undrafted Shaun Dolac locked in on special teams to push for a roster spot. Outside linebackers Desjuan Johnson and Josaiah Stewart flashed pass-rush disruption, backed by Jared Verse and Byron Young’s frequent pressure.

Jordan Waters added a late-score run as Tyler Ingle lit up the stop-unit with big hits, and Keir Thomas returned from IR to bolster depth at edge. The game offered a window into the Rams’ depth chart battles and potential fantasy value from the Rams’ offense and defense in the final weeks of camp.
