Rams Adjust Roster with Three Moves Before Sunday’s Game Against Bears
The Los Angeles Rams have made significant roster adjustments ahead of their upcoming game against the Chicago Bears. These changes come in response to injuries affecting key players within the team.
Injury Update on Ahkello Witherspoon
Ahkello Witherspoon, the veteran cornerback, has re-injured his scapula during the Rams’ recent victory over the Carolina Panthers. This injury has resulted in Witherspoon being placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his season. The cornerback participated in just six regular-season games, alongside one playoff appearance, during his time with the Rams.
Roster Changes Following Injuries
To fill the void left by Witherspoon, the Rams have promoted edge rusher Nick Hampton from the practice squad. This move enhances the team’s defensive lineup as they prepare for their crucial game against the Bears.
- Player Moved to Injured Reserve: Ahkello Witherspoon
- New Active Roster Member: Nick Hampton
- Practice Squad Addition: Alex Johnson
Nick Hampton’s Performance
Nick Hampton has seen substantial action this season, participating in 12 games and achieving a career-high of 10 tackles. Initially waived in December, he was quickly re-signed to the practice squad and has since been elevated to the active roster twice.
Looking Ahead
As the Rams prepare to face the Bears, it remains uncertain whether Hampton will be included in the active roster for Sunday’s game. The upcoming matchup is crucial for the Rams, who are looking to capitalize on their previous victory and maintain momentum moving forward.
