Rams Add Bill Murray and Alex Cook to Training-Camp Roster
The moves give coaches low-risk depth, creating chances to evaluate versatile former undrafted players for backup and special-teams roles.
Overview
- The Rams officially signed offensive guard Bill Murray and defensive back Alex Cook to their expanded training-camp roster, with the transactions reported on the league transaction wire.
- Bill Murray entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2020, converted from college defensive line to offensive guard in the pros, and has played in a small number of regular-season games.
- Alex Cook is a 2023 undrafted player who has appeared in roughly ten NFL games with two starts and has spent time with the Giants, Bears, Panthers and the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions.
- Los Angeles also hosted offensive tackle Tyler McLellan for a tryout, and team coverage frames these moves as standard, low-risk roster evaluations rather than changes to established starters.
- These signings reflect common training-camp strategy: teams add experienced fringe players and those with college or coach ties to compete for practice-squad spots, special-teams roles, or backup depth before final cuts.
