Summary
Two one-handed grabs from Puka Nacua headlined the Rams' second-to-last open camp practice, with the receiver working only with the first-team offense and again standing out as Matthew Stafford sat.
Four missed practices ended for Myles Garrett, who returned from lower-body soreness and immediately flashed his edge rush, forcing a hurried incompletion and logging what would have been a sack in no-contact conditions.
Stetson Bennett IV continued to run the first team and Ty Simpson the second, while a run-heavy session mixed most receivers and some tight ends across units; Tyler Scott caught passes with both groups.
Quentin Lake delivered the defense's top play with a spinning interception of a Bennett pass for Nacua, while Byron Young, Josaiah Stewart and other edge rushers showed the depth Garrett said he is trying to help develop.
Omar Speights added one of the day's most physical moments by jarring Nacua on a middle-route breakup, underscoring a defense that paired Garrett's return with steady contributions across the front and secondary.
