The Rams and Raiders are back on the field Thursday for their second joint practice of the week before they square off in the preseason on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium. Aaron Donald will be out there for Day 2 of practice after getting a rest day Wednesday, so he’ll look to leave his mark in the backfield throughout the day.
Follow along for live updates throughout practice from reporters on-site in Thousand Oaks at the Rams’ headquarters.

Maxx Crosby dominating as a pass rusher
Maxx is winning every matchup again in 1-on-1s and 2-on-2s
Did a head shake of ‘that’s nasty’ as he came off on the last rep. “Bringing the juice” as he likes to say #RaiderNation #Raiders

Brian Allen standing out
Rams C Brian Allen is a beast. Only Ram didn't lose a rep. He's a beast.

Rams defending the deep pass well
First team session featured a couple deep attempts from Jimmy G to Davante. Both fell incomplete. First underthrown on a go up the left sideline knocked down by Ahkello Witherspoon. Second off target on a post in double coverage. #Raiders

Matthew Stafford having another good day
#Raiders defense bringing a better energy and effort today.
But Stafford still getting his with chunk plays. Pocket collapsing quick and d-line is forcing roll outs, but Rams O still completing balls. Pin point accuracy from Stafford again even on the run.#RaiderNation #Rams

Matthew Stafford ends day with TD pass to Tutu Atwell
That’s it for joint practices. Sessions close with Matt Stafford throwing a TD in the back of the end zone to Tutu Atwell with Marcus Epps in coverage. Other side Jimmy G connected with Davante on the right side of the end zone but ruled out of bounds. No TD. #Raiders
