The Los Angeles Rams can boast that they had one of the deepest rosters in the preseason, probably a byproduct of Sean McVay’s decision to rest all important players for 95% of those games, because four of the players that McVay cut on Tuesday were claimed on Wednesday:
- CB Charles Woods, Patriots
- C Willie Lampkin, Eagles
- CB Derion Kendrick, Seahawks
- EDGE Brennan Jackson, Raiders
Those four players will now be on the 53-man rosters of those other teams, including one player going to a division rival by Seattle claiming Kendrick.
The Rams did not make any claims, so for now their 53-man roster stays the same.
These four players will also not be on L.A.’s practice squad unfortunately, at least not right away. With so many fans upset that Troy Reeder made the final roster, this news of the Rams losing four players on the waiver wire will hit even harder. Should McVay have kept someone like Jackson or Lampkin instead of Reeder, even if the Rams would have only had three linebackers for the time being?
If nothing else, the Rams know that they had a really deep roster in training camp. Now to find out how the roster looks in two weeks against the Texans.
