The Los Angeles Rams have finalized their initial 53-man roster for 2026 after Sean McVay and Les Snead concluded cuts as of Sunday. The Rams did not have many competitive position battles for the final roster, so there were not any surprises when it was all said and done.

Of course, besides Aaron Donald coming back.

Perhaps the only thing unusual about the roster is keeping seven receivers and five tight ends, giving L.A. a total of 12 pass catches and 15 skill players going into Week 1, although more changes could happen between Sunday and Week 1’s matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
