The Los Angeles Rams aren’t just hosting the Las Vegas Raiders for their second preseason game on Saturday night. They also have Josh McDaniels’ team in town for two days of joint practices Wednesday and Thursday.
The goal is to get two good days of practice in without disruptions caused by fights, but any time two teams get together during the week, fights tend to occur.
Below are live updates from Rams-Raiders practice in Thousand Oaks on Wednesday, the first of their two days together.

Raiders in the head of Stetson Bennett
While the #Raiders have been in the head of Stetson Bennett so far, same can’t be said for Matt Stafford.
He’s been picking the Vegas DBs apart. All essentially on the outside. #raiderNation

Matthew Stafford picking apart Raiders defense
The Sam Webb pick off the deflection was a Stetson Bennett pass. When Stafford was at QB, the results were..,very different. That is to say Stafford was picking #Raiders DBs apart.
