Note: I’ll update the snap counts in this spreadsheet all season including the first tab tracking the season totals. While I’ll paste individual game PT in each week’s recap, I’ll likely refer to the season totals moving forward from that link. So uh, peep it.
Welp. It was an...interesting game in the #FightForLA on Saturday as the Los Angeles Rams dropped a close one to the Los Angeles Chargers. Here’s how the playing time got handed out:

Plenty of work for some of those offensive line reserves. Worth pointing out that starting RT Rob Havenstein got a ton more time than the other starters (20 additional snaps, to be exact).
One note from the wide receivers? It would seem that WR Brandon Shippen has a leg up on WR Paul McRoberts and WR Shakeir Ryan, for whatever that’s worth.
Overall through three games, you’ve got seven players who have cracked at least 100 of the offense’s 205 snaps, five of whom are on the offensive line.

Reminder of who was inactive for the game, because it clearly affected things in a major way here.
Suffice to say we have a clear battle at corner between CB Dominique Hatfield and CB Mike Jordan?
Hard to parse the linebacking snaps for anything concrete given that all four starters were out...

With these special teams snaps and the injury to TE Temarrick Hemingway, does TE Cory Harkey have an inside track now to the 53-man roster?
Harkey is among the top eight non-core (i.e. K, P, LS) special teams contributors who have cleared more than 25 of the Rams’ 81 preseason special teams snaps: FB Sam Rogers (37), Harkey (37), S Marqui Christian (34), LB Folarin Orimolade (30), LB Andy Mulumba (29), S John Johnson (29), LB Josh Forrest (27) & CB Dominique Hatfield (26). If we get a shocker on the 53-man, good chance it comes out of this group.
