The Los Angeles Rams will have a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday instead of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Rams made this change because the trip from their facility at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks to the Cowboys’ practice in Oxnard is shorter than traveling to the Chargers’ facility in El Segundo.
“It wasn’t good for them logistically. If it’s not good for them, it’s not good for us,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said after Monday’s practice.
The Rams have temporarily moved back to California Lutheran because their new site in Woodland Hills is still under construction. They will stay in temporary facilities until their new permanent complex is finished.
This will be the third time in a week that the Cowboys and Rams will face each other. They had a joint practice in Oxnard on August 8 and then played in the preseason opener on Sunday, where the Rams came back to win 13-12.
Most of the starters, including Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and Dallas’ Dak Prescott, did not play in that game.
The Chargers and Rams had a joint practice in El Segundo on August 4 while the Rams were still holding their training camp at Loyola Marymount University. The two Los Angeles teams will play each other again in their second preseason game on Saturday.
