Jamie Sheriff Set to Join Rams' Practice Squad

The signing gives the Rams low‑cost developmental depth behind established outside linebackers Myles Garrett and Byron Young.

Overview

  • The Seahawks waived Jamie Sheriff during final roster cuts and did not include him on their initial practice squad, leaving him available to other teams.
  • Reports published Tuesday say Sheriff plans to sign with the Los Angeles Rams' practice squad, a move first reported by ESPN's Brady Henderson and carried by Heavy and Yahoo Sports.
  • Sheriff went undrafted out of South Alabama in 2024 and spent most of his first two NFL seasons on practice squads with brief active‑roster appearances and one recorded tackle.
  • He earned attention for strong preseason pass‑rush production but has limited regular‑season snaps, so the Rams view him as a developmental edge defender who could work on special teams.
  • The addition reflects routine roster churn at cutdown time when teams use practice squads as low‑cost pools of depth that can be elevated if injuries or needs arise, while giving Sheriff a fresh chance inside the NFC West.
