The Rams are already making moves, signing cornerback Steven Gilmore and outside linebacker Devean Deal. These aren’t minor tweaks; Los Angeles clearly wants to bolster its defensive depth as the regular season gets rolling.

Dedich Back in Action

On the offensive line, there’s some good news. Justin Dedich has officially passed his physical and is off the non-football injury list. Remember that hand injury he picked up around the Fourth of July? Coach Sean McVay confirmed it wasn’t fireworks-related, which is a wild detail, but the main thing is Dedich is cleared and ready to go.

Rams Place McPhearson, Thomas on IR Amid Other Moves

While new faces are coming in, the injury bug is still biting. The Rams placed cornerback Zech McPhearson and outside linebacker Keir Thomas on injured reserve. Tough breaks for those guys, and it definitely opens up opportunities for the new signings. On top of that, linebacker Daniel Rickert was waived with an injury designation. The team is clearly shuffling the deck and hoping these changes stabilize the roster moving forward.
