LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams will have a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday instead of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Rams announced the switch because the round-trip commute from their facility at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California, to the Cowboys’ practice in Oxnard is shorter than going 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.

Rams’ Temporary Return to California Lutheran

Third Encounter Between Rams and Cowboys
It will be the third time in seven days the Cowboys and Rams will face each other. The two teams had a joint practice in Oxnard on Aug. 8 and then met in the preseason opener on Sunday, when the Rams rallied for a 13-12 victory. Most of the starters, including Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and Dallas’ Dak Prescott, did not play in the game.
