Overview
- The Rams added offensive lineman Blake Hance in a roster move announced by the team to add experience and positional flexibility on the line.
- Hance is a 30-year-old journeyman entering his eighth NFL season who has played for multiple teams and has 11 career starts in 63 games.
- The signing follows earlier camp additions of offensive lineman Bill Murray and defensive back Alex Cook and comes after injuries to reserve lineman Justin Dedich and cornerback Al’zillion Hamilton reduced depth.
- Head coach Sean McVay said the team will let both legal and league processes play out regarding starting left tackle Alaric Jackson before making roster decisions that could affect the pecking order.
- Beyond short-term insurance, Hance will serve as a camp body and audition candidate for increased snaps if an incumbent is unavailable, and fans should watch how the line settles as injured reserves recover and off-field matters conclude.
