LOS ANGELES — Sean McVay declined to name a starting center for the Rams’ game Sunday at the New England Patriots. It’s not that he hadn’t already made a decision, just a spot of gamesmanship ahead of the matchup.
But regardless who is snapping the ball Sunday, whether it is free-agent acquisition Jonah Jackson for a second game in a row off injured reserve or a reversion to rookie Beaux Limmer, the fact the Rams are considering their options is a good indication of the crossroads they are facing as an offense.
The Rams could opt to see whether they can build chemistry with the group they expect to start the season with up front, or they can go with Limmer, a sixth-round pick who was playing well in the six games during Jackson’s absence.
