Pending the location of this year’s training camp, it’s possible the destination of that camp could be the furthest the Rams travel to play any preseason games.

The team announced its all AFC opponent preseason schedule on Thursday, a schedule that keeps the team in the Midwest for each of the four exhibition contests.

Opening the slate of games is a trip to Nashville to play Tennessee during the week of Aug. 7-11. The Rams and Titans will meet for the first time since 2002.

After the preseason opener, the Rams return home for a pair of game in consecutive weeks. The first home game has the San Diego Chargers paying a visit to the Edward Jones Dome the week of Aug. 14-18 tilt. The teams met in last season’s preseason.

The following week, Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens come to St. Louis on Aug. 21-25. It will be the first matchup of the two teams in the preseason.

The Rams will once again close out the preseason slate with the usual Governor’s Cup contest against the Chiefs in Kansas City on either Aug. 28 or 29. The Rams will be defending the cup after winning 10-3 last season.

Official dates and times will be announced in the near future.
