Rams celebrate as Tanner Ingle showcases push to final 53-man roster prediction

It's the final countdown, the point of the NFL season where all preseason games are in the history books, and the next 72 hours will be saturated with news of the Los Angeles Rams roster transactions. It's a busy time for all 32 NFL teams, as they scramble to shed players from a 90-man training camp limit to get down to the 53-man limit for the regular season.

The Rams team has been bursting with fierce competition throughout training camp and the preseason. The team simply does not have enough roster slots to keep everyone, setting up for some incredibly difficult decisions for the coaching staff. Still, it comes as no surprise. From the moment the Rams drafted six rookies in the 2025 NFL Draft, the stage was set for this moment.

The Rams lost the game by a score of 19-17. But this was about finishing off the preseason with players who needed extra work to attract interest from other NFL teams. And to the team's credit, the game pitted Rams players buried on the depth chart against Browns starters. This game had no business being close, but it was. That bodes well for the passion of the players who had little more to play for beyond the love of the game.

On offense, a couple of clues were given to perceptive fans. RB Blake Corum sat out, as did WR Xavier Smith. Offensive linemen who sat out Game 3 included Beaux Limmer, Justin Dedich, David Quessenberry, and Warren McClendon Jr. The projected roster has a solid group of playmakers, but ensures a solid group of offensive linemen to endure the rigors of a long 17-game season.

Offense (26)

Quarterback (3) - Matthew Stafford | Jimmy Garoppolo | Stetson Bennett

Running Backs (4) - Kyren Williams | Blake Corum | Jarquez Hunter | Cody Schrader

Tight ends (4) - Tyler Higbee | Colby Parkinson | Terrance Ferguson | Davis Allen

Offensive Linemen (9/(11))

LG Steve Avila | Justin Dedich
C Coleman Shelton | Beaux Limmer | Willie Lampkin (IR)
RG Kevin Dotson | KT Leveston
RT Rob Havenstein | David Quessenberry

Defense (24)

There were plenty of playmakers in Game 3, but the decisions were primarily made before the preseason finale. The defense generated six quarterback sacks, limited the offense to 121 net passing yards, and the Browns' running backs to just 85 yards. Many of the stars from the Rams' defense will be back on the practice squad. One player who made his move was safety Tanner Ingle, who made multiple plays while Rams HC Sean McVay was on headset. He called Ingle 'a human missile,' which was very accurate.

Edge Rushers (4/(5)) - Byron Young | Jared Verse | Josaiah Stewart | Brennan Jackson | Keir Thomas (IR)

Inside Linebackers (4) - Nate Landman | Omar Speights | Pooh Paul Jr. | Shaun Dolac

Cornerbacks (5) - Darious Williams | Ahkello Witherspoon | Emmanuel Forbes | Cobie Durant | Josh Wallace

Safeties (4) -Quentin Lake | Kam Curl | Kam Kinchens | Jaylen McCollough | Tanner Ingle

Special Teams (3)

Special Teams (3) - K Joshua Karty | P Ethan Evans | LS Alex Ward

It's all over but the shouting now. Coaches will gather and put the finishing touches to the 53-man Rams roster. But even as players are released, keep in mind that they played their hearts out. This team of depth players nearly overcame an NFL team that played its starters. Everyone on the team, whether or not they make the roster, deserves respect and applause.

The preseason is over. The regular season is about to begin. Who will the team keep for the 2025 NFL season, and who will part ways now? Stay tuned. Everyone will know the answers over the next 72 hours. As always. thanks for reading.
