The Los Angeles Rams will pack for an extended trip before they head to Baltimore this week.
The Rams are scheduled to face the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 12 (1 p.m. ET, Fox). The Rams made arrangements to stay in Baltimore after the game and use Oriole Park at Camden Yards as a practice facility the following week in preparation for their Week 7 meeting in London versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team official told USA TODAY Sports.
The Baltimore Banner was the first to report the news.
“We’ll go out to Baltimore on Saturday, but then we’ll stay out there in our preparation for Jacksonville going into the London game. Then we’ll fly out on Friday. That gives us a good opportunity to really lean in,” Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday, Oct. 3. “We’ll just stay out in Baltimore to shorten that trip to London when we go play Jacksonville before our bye. But what a big stretch this is going to be for us.”
Camden Yards is the home of the Baltimore Orioles, who are on vacation right now and not in the ongoing MLB playoffs.
The Rams’ extended stay in Baltimore gives the team a much shorter flight to London. A trip from Baltimore to London is a little over seven hours. The travel time between Los Angeles and London is over 10 hours.
