Rams Claim CB Derion Kendrick After Placing Roger McCreary on IR

Los Angeles replenishes its secondary after McCreary’s injury created an immediate roster need.

Overview

  • Seattle waived Derion Kendrick on Nov. 25, and the Rams claimed him on Nov. 26, preventing the Seahawks from re-signing him to their practice squad.
  • Kendrick returns to the team that drafted him in 2022 after playing 10 games for Seattle this season with two interceptions and five pass breakups as his defensive role diminished.
  • Roger McCreary was moved to injured reserve following an injury suffered against Tampa Bay, sidelining him for at least four games and opening the roster spot Kendrick fills.
  • The Rams opened 21‑day practice windows for cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon and receiver Tutu Atwell, with coach Sean McVay indicating both are expected to be available this week.
  • Los Angeles also signed tight end Nick Vannett as part of a series of roster adjustments for the stretch run.
