Rams finalize a 53-man roster with four edge rushers and strong defensive depth, setting a foundation for Week 1 while managing waiver twists. Willie Lamin IV moved on to Philadelphia via waivers, reshaping LA’s edge plans. Chris Paul Jr. cleared waivers and joined Seattle’s practice squad. Brennan Jackson landed with Las Vegas, Darion Kendrick with Seattle, and Charles Woods with New England. Desan Johnson earned a roster spot thanks to his preseason pass-rush impact, while the Rams projected practice-squad options like AJR Curry, Dylan McMahon, and Brennan Presley to fill intake after cuts.

In the broader roster snapshot, the Rams emphasized development and positional flexibility, keeping a compact but versatile front seven, plus a realistically productive group of running backs and receivers for Week 1. The team’s depth on defense, plus the preparation of practice-squad players, suggests a measured, data-driven approach to navigating the early-season grind and potential injuries.
