Los Angeles Rams began trimming their roster, trimming 11 players in the first wave to 79 ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, with 26 more cuts looming before the 53-man limit. The wave included TE McCallan Castles, S Malik Dixon-Williams, OL Ben Dooley, DT Decarius Hawthorne, G John Leglue, C Mike McAllister, OL Josh Pearcy, DL Da'Jon Terry, OT Trey Wedig, QB Dresser Winn and vested LB Tony Fields. No real surprises, but the hard calls come Monday and Tuesday as the club finalizes a 53 and eyes a 16-man practice squad on Wednesday.

Fantasy managers should monitor how the Rams shape depth behind the top units. The ensuing practice squad and late cuts will clarify who could jump into Week 1 roles if injuries strike, and who might emerge as sleepers in dynasty or keeper formats based on ongoing positional battles.

The Los Angeles Chargers made a roster adjustment following their Week 12 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens, signing tight end McCallan Castles to their practice squad.

This decision comes after the team had to place Hayden Hurst on injured reserve, leaving them with limited options at tight end. With Will Dissly as the primary tight end, the Chargers now have Castles, Stone Smartt, and Tucker Fisk to fill the gap.

The Los Angeles Chargers are making adjustments to their roster as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. The team has released linebacker Blake Lynch from the practice squad and signed undrafted rookie McCallan Castles, who previously spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles.

This move comes as the Chargers look to strengthen their depth, especially with Junior Colson returning from injury. Additionally, the team signed cornerback Eli Apple to bolster their secondary, indicating that further roster changes may be forthcoming as they navigate player health and game preparations.
