After Matthew Stafford's private workout, Stetson Bennett and Xavier Smith will be among the Rams eager to play well against the Chargers.

Coincidentally, both have since reunited with the Chargers after their one-year departures, though Williams retired on the first day of training camp, ushering in a reunion with Allen. Nonetheless, the Chargers have a competition between the two upstarts.

The Rams and Chargers will square off in Week 2 of the preseason on Saturday and we'll be keeping a close eye on these 7 players.

In Saturday’s preseason game against the Chargers, Pleasant will again take that inclusive approach, serving as the Rams’ head coach for the evening. It’s a role he served last preseason, too, as head coach Sean McVay gives Pleasant a platform to work toward his career goals both in August but during the season, too.
