3 fringe roster candidates grabbing spotlight in Week 2 of Rams Camp

While the reports from the 2024 LA Rams Training Camp has been a never-ending stream about rookies and veterans who many expected to hear good things about, this article is going to take a bit of a detour. After all, hearing positive stories about players who are expected to start for the team actually cementing their lock on starting roles is encouraging, hopeful, and optimistic.

But it does not add much in the way of new information.

So let's veer off from the usual and customary reports about the uncanny chemistry of former Florida State rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske, and reflect on the progress shown in camp by players whose future with the team is a bit less certain.

In terms of starters, there is a consensus among fans and analysts on about 90 percent of the staring roles. And if you expand the perspective to focus on the initial 53-man roster, barring assignments to Injured Reserve, you can get a general consensus on approximately 70 percent of the roster. But when it comes to the remaining 30 percent, views vary wildly. Of course, that could be due to the fact that the team's coaching staff remains uncertain of which players to pencil in at the bottom of the roster.

For those players, the 2024 LA Rams Training Camp takes on far more urgency and importance. Even as players are encouraged to make plays and let the coaches help them correct their mistakes, there is that rule of competition that keeps players from exposing themselves to too many mistakes in front of coaches.

The reality of any training camp is that those young undrafted players or veterans returning from last year's practice squad get limited exposures to coaches. Whether that is from limited reps or simply the reality of numbers, coaches will only recall a finite number of plays made by those players. As a result, positive plays can make a huge difference at this stage of training camp.

So who are the three fringe roster candidates grabbing the spotlight in Week 2 of the 2024 LA Rams Training Camp? Let's find out.
