Rams close 2026 training camp with another sharp look from Blake Corum and a strong collective day for the secondary

The Los Angeles Rams wrapped up the 10th and final day of their 2026 training camp with a practice that leaned on two themes, the offense’s mobility and the defense’s coverage work. In the most consistent early takeaway from the open session, running back Blake Corum continued to show agility and explosiveness in live-action looks, reinforcing why the staff has been emphasizing him as a dynamic piece of the ground game.

Corum’s showing was not described as one isolated play, but as a pattern that carried through the practice window. The Rams’ final-day observations framed his movement and acceleration as the kind of traits that can matter in camp when teams are sorting out first-team roles and situational packages, particularly around early-down run production and space runs.

On the defensive side, the Rams pointed to multiple individual standouts and, importantly, a strong day “collectively” from the secondary. That wording indicates more than a single highlight, it suggests coordination and communication were on display during the later practice work, when defensive backs are often judged both on coverage execution and on how the unit responds as a group to quarterback reads and receiver routes.

Emmanuel Forbes Jr. was specifically called out for having a strong practice, a notable development given the constant evaluation that cornerbacks face from day to day in camp. For a secondary that the Rams described as functioning well together, Forbes’ individual performance matters because it can stabilize one side of the coverage picture and influence how coaches structure safety help and leverage responsibilities across the field.

Because this was the final open practice, the broader context is simple: teams use the last days of training camp to sharpen execution rather than to experiment as widely. The Rams’ internal evaluation process now shifts toward the final sorting of roles and readiness going into the regular-season preparation phase, where camp impressions turn into game-plan confidence and depth-chart clarity.

With the practice already complete, what to watch next is how the Rams carry these specific emphasis areas into the preseason and beyond, especially around running-back effectiveness in open-field situations and how quickly the secondary converts camp coverage patterns into consistent performance against live-game tempo. If Corum’s burst translates as expected and the secondary’s “strong day” becomes repeatable, it would address two of the most durable day-to-day needs for any team, explosive offense and dependable coverage.

For fans, the takeaway is not that training camp resolves every question, but that the closing session offered a clear snapshot of where the Rams believe they have momentum. Corum’s agility and explosiveness, paired with a defense that produced standouts and a well-functioning secondary, sets an identifiable baseline for what the staff will be looking to confirm next.
