Summing up all the recent LA Rams roster moves

Since September 13, 2022, the LA Rams have initiated a significant number of player transactions, all of which have changed the complexion of the LA Rams roster. Amidst the flurry of activity, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle or confused, as the same names have been added to the practice squad, then promoted to the active roster. And yet, while the front office has been active in adding players, the LA Rams and other NFL team personnel departments have been prying players off the active- or practice-squad rosters.

The challenge in making mid-season adjustments, particularly to the LA Rams roster, is getting the number of and quality of changes just right. Too deep and the Rams have too many new faces and too long of a learning curve to turn things around. Too shallow and the Rams’ performance doesn’t improve far enough, and the number and quality of players who could make adequate changes shrink as other teams reinforce their post-injury rosters.
