Another team to cancel minicamp and say goodbye for the summer…

What happened: The Los Angeles Rams have officially canceled their mandatory minicamp, ending the team's offseason program nearly a week ahead of schedule. Head coach Sean McVay informed the roster on Monday that their progress during voluntary sessions was sufficient, allowing players to break for the summer.

Why it matters: The early dismissal prioritizes recovery for a veteran roster facing a grueling 2026 travel schedule, which begins with a Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. The break also facilitates the franchise's transition to a new training headquarters in Woodland Hills this summer.

By the numbers: Matthew Stafford enters the 2026 campaign as the reigning NFL MVP after leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns during a 12-5 season in 2025.

What to watch: Players will report to the new Woodland Hills facility for training camp in late July. The Rams then travel to Melbourne for the first-ever regular-season game in Australia on September 10.
