Rams Sign Outside Linebacker Tomon Fox

The move fills the Rams' outside‑linebacker depth hole caused by rookie Eddie Walls III's season‑ending injured reserve, offering Fox a chance to compete for a roster spot.

Overview

  • Los Angeles officially added Tomon Fox as an outside linebacker to replenish depth after the team placed rookie Eddie Walls III on season‑ending injured reserve.
  • Fox entered the NFL in 2022 as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants and spent four seasons there, moving between the active roster and the practice squad.
  • Across 37 career NFL games with two starts, Fox has recorded 45 total tackles and 2.0 sacks while contributing mainly on special teams.
  • At North Carolina, Fox totaled 29.5 career sacks and was a third‑team All‑ACC pick in 2021, a college record that contrasts with his limited defensive snaps in the NFL.
  • Fox will take part in the Rams' offseason work and training camp and is expected to compete with players such as Desjuan Johnson for a place on the 53‑man roster, with his special‑teams experience likely the key factor in roster decisions.
