Overview
- The Los Angeles Rams had none of their cut players claimed on the waiver wire, leaving those players free to sign to practice squads.
- NFL reporter Mike Garafolo posted that the Rams are signing running back Dean Connors to their practice squad after he cleared waivers, a move pending formal team confirmation.
- Connors generated attention in the preseason with 96 rushing yards on 26 carries and 53 receiving yards with three receiving touchdowns on seven catches.
- Scouts have praised Connors' testing and short-area burst while noting he can be indecisive and lacks top-level elusiveness in open space, traits that help explain why he cleared waivers despite his production.
- Because non‑veteran players pass through waivers first, clearing allowed Connors to choose a practice‑squad spot and gives him a developmental route back to the active roster as the Rams manage depth behind players such as Bam Knight and Allgeier.
