7 Rams who may already have earned a roster spot before Game 3 vs Texans

(6) - DB Jaylen McCollough

With the name of the game being creating turnovers this season, young defensive back Jaylen McCollough has certainly proven that he has gotten the memo. He is the only Rams defensive back to pick off a pass this preseason and has played pretty solid pass coverage when he is not snatching a forward pass out of mid-air.

He has been solid in being in the right place at the right time as well.

The Rams are loaded at the safety position, with Kamren Curl, Kamren Kinchens, John Johnson III, and even Jason Taylor II with the inside track at the four slots. But McCollough may have done enough to pry the fourth roster slot from Taylor. And if he hasn't done that, he has at least persuaded the team do consider carrying five safeties on the roster.

(5) - WR JJ Laap

The Rams wide receiver group is just too deep and talented it seems. No matter how you hold this group up to the light, there is always that additional player who has made a strong case for remaining on the Rams roster. In Week 2, that player was undrafted rookie JJ Laap, who caught both passes thrown his way for 50 yards and a touchdown.

The Rams coaching staff is always keeping an eye out for players who seize their moment. And for young WR JJ Laap, he did everything asked of him in Game 2, He certainly caused the coaches to sit up and take notice, and the praise from his position coach, Eric Yarber was spontaneous and authentic.

While Laap may miss out on the initial 53-man roster, he will be re-signed to the practice squad, and could be elevated on game day this season. This team may have a full receiver room at the moment, but you can bet that JJ Laap's performance in Game 2 makes them wish it wasn't.
