Overview
- Eric Kendricks, who signed with the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, was brought in to add depth behind starters Omar Speights and Nate Landman.
- Kendricks is a 34‑year‑old veteran with an 11‑season NFL career, a 2019 first‑team All‑Pro selection, and roughly 1,180 career tackles.
- His recent playing time has been limited: Kendricks started 15 games for the Cowboys in 2024 but appeared in just three regular‑season games for the 49ers in 2025.
- A practice‑squad deal keeps the move low risk for the Rams because NFL rules allow teams to elevate veteran players for game day or sign them to the 53‑man roster as needs arise.
- Watch for short‑term outcomes from this signing: Kendricks could be elevated for upcoming games if Los Angeles faces injuries or matchup needs, and the move continues his late‑career pattern of short deals that offer teams experienced, near‑term depth.
