The Los Angeles Rams had no players claimed on the waiver wire, meaning all released athletes can now join the practice squad. The team was positioned low in the waiver order and opted not to acquire any players from other teams.
Despite some preseason excitement about players such as Dean Connors and Austin Blaske, other teams did not find them valuable enough to take a chance on. To claim a player, teams would have needed to cut someone from their finalized 53-man roster, which had just been established.
This scenario is common, as fans often get hopeful about players based on their preseason showings, which may not translate to regular season success. On that day, 26 players were claimed throughout the league, averaging less than one per team, making it less likely for any Rams player to be selected.
The Rams now await the completion of their practice squad, with more information to come.
