The Los Angeles Rams are expected to return the majority of their core for the 2025 season, including Rob Havenstein, who is the longest-tenured player on the team.

The 32-year-old began his career a decade ago when the Rams still played in St. Louis. Since then, he has established himself as one of the most important players on the offensive line at right tackle.

Havenstein was limited to 11 games last year due to a shoulder injury, which required surgery this offseason. Havenstein clarified that he had procedures done on both of his shoulders.

“There was some junk in there that didn’t need to be in there so they went in, grabbed the old butter knife and took it out. Nothing got fixed or repaired. It’s not anything crazy like that. I just had some wear and tear,” he said.

“They shaved it all down and gave me a couple of new shoulders. I feel pretty good and will probably take it pretty easy during OTAs. I’m still working on getting a lot of strength back before we go do anything.”

“My goal and my hope is to finish on the field, maybe not in a team setting but to just be out there with the boys and running some football. Towards the end of OTAs, it’ll be good. If not, we’ll be rocking and rolling for training camp.”

Havenstein did not consider retirement this offseason as his passion for football is still there. “It’s always something to think about, but no. Not this year,” Havenstein said.

“I knew I wanted to play this year for sure. Never say never, but I still have a lot of passion for it. I still think I can play. I’m getting my mind and my body ready to go once August rolls around.

Rob Havenstein wants to prove he is ‘still the guy’ on Rams’ offensive line

Rob Havenstein is approaching his 11th season in the NFL as if he still has a lot to prove. “Whether it’s in year 11 or year one, it shouldn’t change,” Havenstein said.

“I have to go out and prove that I’m still the guy, I’m still the right tackle of this team. That’s something that I don’t take lightly.”
