The Los Angeles Rams cut 34 players, including seven who are most likely to be claimed on waivers: Chris Paul Jr., Willie Lampkin IV, Brennan Jackson, Tanner Ingle, Cam Lampkin, Brennan Presley, and Cody Schrader. With a 16-man practice squad to guard against immediate claims, the Rams still risk losing depth as other teams evaluate their preseason impressions. The churn creates immediate shifts on the depth chart and could shape practice-squad signings and early-season special-teams roles.

Among the seven, Paul Jr. stands out as a fifth-round rookie whose athletic ceiling could attract surprise claims. Lampkin IV, Jackson, Ingle, Lampkin, Presley, and Schrader each carried a blend of trait appeal, preseason flashes, and versatility that make them attractive targets for rosters in need of depth at linebacker, edge, and skill positions. Expect the Rams to monitor waiver outcomes closely and pivot quickly on the 53-man roster and practice squad landscape.
