Ernest Jones IV did not ask for a trade but he is absent from Rams practice

LA Times  

Linebacker Ernest Jones IV was not at the Rams’ practice Monday after rumors of a trade emerged. “He’s right — he never requested a trade,” coach Sean McVay said after practice. Jones is “a pro’s pro in every sense of the word,” McVay said. Quarterback Stetson Bennett, anointed last weekend as Matthew Stafford’s backup for the opener, was not on the field because he was “tending to a family issue,” McVay said. McVay said “there’s a possibility” right tackle Rob Havenstein could be available for the opener but added “there’s a possibility that he misses it.” With Jackson out for the opener and Havenstein possibly out, the tackles would be Joe Noteboom and Warren McClendon Jr.
