LA Rams roster transactions recap heading into Week 12

The LA Rams weekly transaction report has been quite busy this season and shows no signs of slowing down as the front office continues to work whatever magic is possible to set the Rams roster at its optimum. That has been quite the task this season, as players have been getting shipped to and from the Rams’ injured reserve list and the active 53-man roster.

In the past, I have tried to keep up with the Rams’ roster transactions, but as the season has continued and roster transactions have become much more frequent, the opportunity to stay abreast of roster changes has shrunk. So let’s try to recap all of the Rams’ roster moves this month that have not been detailed previously. To do that, we must go back to Week 10:

While that placed Coleman Shelton back into the offensive line mix, the Rams followed that up with offensive linemen Chandler Brewer and Alaric Jackson to injured reserve. One step forward, two steps backward.

This week, the Rams have made more roster moves, signing rookie offensive tackle A.J. Arcuri to the active roster. And without RB Darrell Henderson, the team has added RB Ronnie Rivers to the roster as well.  The team has assigned veteran defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson to injured reserve, effectively ending his season.

With Robinson’s contract expiring at the end of this season, you would be in a rather safe territory to question if he has played his last season in horns. The Rams continue to get younger, and ultimately, will begin to build a body of work over who is and is not in the Rams’ future plans.  Will there be any surprises? Stay tuned . . .
