Rams Acquire CB Roger McCreary, Plan Immediate Role vs. Saints

Los Angeles turned to McCreary for immediate help in a banged-up secondary.

Overview

  • Head coach Sean McVay said Roger McCreary will be active and ready to play Sunday against the Saints, less than a week after the trade.
  • The move targets depth concerns with Ahkello Witherspoon on injured reserve and Darious Williams listed as doubtful with a shoulder and lat strain.
  • The Rams cite McCreary’s ability to play outside corner or in the slot, noting he has worked almost exclusively inside this season with significant outside snaps in 2022 and 2023.
  • Los Angeles acquired McCreary from Tennessee in a 2026 draft pick swap, with the Titans receiving a fifth-rounder and the Rams getting McCreary plus a sixth.
  • McCreary is in the final year of his rookie contract and is on track for unrestricted free agency next offseason, as McVay says the team feels good about its roster but won’t rule out further upgrades.
