The Rams are preparing for their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. A group of players, including Kevin Dotson, Kyren Williams, Xavier Smith, and Tyler Davis, made a previous trip to Australia as goodwill ambassadors and to provide the team with feedback on the long flights and experience. Their experiences will inform the team’s approach to this trip.
The Rams will fly out on Tuesday night, landing Thursday morning, and will play at 10:35 a.m. local time. Coach Sean McVay is optimistic about their preparation, noting that they trust the process and decisions made regarding travel. The players have adjusted their sleep schedules and practiced at times that mimic the game day kickoff.
Dotson and others report feeling confident about the plan, highlighting the importance of getting adequate rest and trusting the team’s strategies. They are ready for what they consider a business trip.
