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.

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.

Preseason games are for the hopefuls. The Detroit Lions’ first-team units got some good work in this week, taking on the Miami Dolphins in joint practice. The offense found its rhythm, the defense carried over its intensity and Dan Campbell had to have been satisfied with the two-day period.
