We’ve compiled a list of players who were placed or activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list today. In some instances (including Christian McCaffrey and Travis Etienne), players activated from the list remain on IR:
Arizona Cardinals
Baltimore Ravens
Carolina Panthers
Chicago Bears
Cleveland Browns
Dallas Cowboys
Denver Broncos
Detroit Lions
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars
Kansas City Chiefs
Las Vegas Raiders
Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Rams
Miami Dolphins
Minnesota Vikings
New England Patriots
New Orleans Saints
New York Jets
Philadelphia Eagles
Pittsburgh Steelers
Seattle Seahawks
Tennessee Titans
Washington Football Team
The Rams bolstered their front seven by adding Von Miller to a group that already houses Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd. But the team will be without one of its role players up front for a while — perhaps the rest of the season.
Sebastian Joseph-Day is now on IR, and the Rams announced the young defensive lineman is set to undergo surgery to repair a pectoral injury. Sean McVay said Joseph-Day aggravated the injury that forced him to miss the Rams’ Week 8 game in Houston.
It is not known if Joseph-Day tore a pectoral muscle, but McVay said it is uncertain if he will play again this year. A torn pec would sideline the third-year D-lineman for the year. Joseph-Day’s surgery will take place in the next few days.
A third-year starter up front with the Rams, Joseph-Day has already hit a sack career-high with three this season. Joseph-Day has started 38 games in his young career. Sunday will mark just his second absence as a pro. The former sixth-round pick’s 48% run-stop rate ranks second among defensive tackles, per ESPN.
As they seemingly do every year, the Rams have officially signed all of their draft picks on one day. Kristen Lago of TheRams.com reports that the organization inked all 11 rookies to their contracts yesterday. The list of players includes:
The Rams didn’t have picks in the first two rounds due to trades for wideouts. They were without a first-rounder due to the Brandin Cooks trade with the Patriots, and their second-rounder was used in the Sammy Watkins deal.
The trio of rookie linemen (Noteboom, Allen, and Demby) could end up seeing some playing time should anything happen to the Rams’ starters. The three players are ultimately competing with Cornelius Lucas, Austin Blythe, Aaron Neary, and Jake Eldrenkamp for backup reps.
Okoronkwo could see some time at outside linebacker if projected starters Matt Longacre or Samson Ebukam need to be replaced. The Oklahoma product is competing with Ejuan Price and Trevon Young for playing time.
