53-man Roster Cuts

The Rams have made the following cuts to reduce the team’s roster to the 53-man active roster limit.

September 1 – Roster 79
Per The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue, the team reported that ILB Travin Howard’s injured his meniscus, which would require surgery and end his season. The Rams will place Howard on Injured Reserve, effectively opening a roster spot.

September 4 – Roster 77

Per both Tom Peliserro and Jourdan Rodrigue, the LA Rams have chosen drafted rookie Sam Sloman as their kicker. Since the team will only go with one kicker, both Lirim Hajrullahu and Austin MacGinnis will be cut.

September 4 Roster – 63

The Rams have yet to announce the assignment to the injured reserve of Travin Howard and A’Shawn Robinson.

#Rams cut 17 players:

DB Alexander

September 5, 2020 – Roster 52
The Rams open Saturday with a confirmed release of ILB Clay Johnston, who was selected in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft

The Rams have waived seventh-round rookie ILB Clay Johnston.

Possible practice squad candidate if he clears waivers.

And then? DB Donte Deayon

#Rams CB Donte Deayon, whose energetic personality has been featured in Hard Knocks, will be waived today, source says. Possible addition to the practice squad if he clears.

The Rams made it official with the following:

DT Marquise Copeland
DB Donte Deayon
DT Michael Hoecht
LB Clay Johnston
LB Natrez Patrick
QB Bryce Perkins
LB Christian Rozeboom
DE Jonah Williams
The team waived injured Justin Lawler, and have placed Travin Howard on Injured reserve and A’Shawn Robinson on the reserve/non-football injury list.

That leaves the team at three inside linebackers. The Rams can recall a player if they do not come to an agreement with an inside linebacker.

September 6- Roster at 53

Per Tom Pelissero, the LA Rams claimed former Denver Broncos linebacker Justin Hollins off waivers. Hollins is a 6-foot-5 linebacker who played edge but was cross-training at inside with Coach Staley. Hollins can add value both inside and outside for the Rams.

September 9 – Roster reset to 53.

The Rams made several roster moves, beginning by placing OLB Terrell Lewis on Reserve/NFI. He will be eligible to return to the roster in three weeks. In his place, the Rams have signed RB Raymond Calais

Keep in mind many of these players will likely end up on the team’s practice squad
