Rams 16-man practice squad tracker 2026: Live updates and analysis

The Los Angeles Rams continue to shrink the 90-man summer roster to a 53-man limit, but it's not the end for many players.16 of the 37 waived players will have the chance to return to the practice squad.

A practice squad spot isn't to be discounted. The Rams often recruit those players first to address mid-season injuries. Some practice-squaders are signed to the active roster; free agents then fill their vacated slots to compete for similar promotions.

Of course, some teams view the practice squad as an afterthought. Rams general manager Les Snead views it as an opportunity to retain developmental players, augment the active roster, and as a laboratory to mix and match candidates for larger future roles.

For example, running back Ronnie Rivers began 2025 on the practice squad before being signed to the active roster in November. He's back on the 53 this season as well.
