    It's possible that the Rams saw enough from Xavier Smith last week against the Kansas City Chiefs to feel comfortable with him as the primary punt returner after his game-changing 40-yard return.

    Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart

    Don’t read into that as if there is a QB controversy, because there isn’t. The plan was to get the prized rookie those reps against an elite NFL defense. Kirk Cousins remains No. 1.

    Kubiak has been adamant that Kirk Cousins will be the team's starter to open the season, and I don't think they would sign a veteran quarterback in the offseason without at least giving him a chance first.
