    New Rams DT Larrell Murchinson also had claims put in on him by the Lions and Seahawks, per source. Seattle was without DL Shelby Harris (illness) this past Sunday and DT Al Woods is now uncertain to play this Thursday. The Rams had top priority of these three teams.

    from the wiki

    Height: 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m)
    Weight: 297 lb (135 kg)

    Murchison was selected in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft with the 174th overall pick by the Tennessee Titans.

    .

    On August 30, 2022, Murchison was waived by the Titans and signed to the practice squad the next day. He was promoted to the active roster on November 15. He was waived again on December 10.

    On December 12, 2022, Murchison was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Rams.

    Analysis By Lance Zierlein
    .
    Overview
    .
    Murchison redshirted his first season with the Wolfpack and then earned the team’s Defensive Lineman of the Year award as a 13-game starter in 2018 (34 tackles, eight for loss, four sacks, one interception, two pass breakups). He stepped up his game as a senior, garnering second-team All-ACC honors after leading his team with 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks (48 total tackles, two pass breakups in 12 starts).
    .
    Early into his evaluation, it’s hard to get past the tight lower body that restricts his upfield and lateral strides with his feet barely leaving the ground. As the tape rolls on, it’s impossible not to notice his motor and that he’s always around the ball and rarely on the ground. Murchison has the ability to battle through blocks and come out well-oriented and ready to make plays. He’s quick to process and respond, but doesn’t have great closing burst and lateral agility. He thrives in smaller spaces with less ground to cover and should become a good rotational three-technique for a 4-3 defense.
    .
    Strengths
    • Impact production against run and pass
    • Stutter-rush helps work edge to edge
    • Never stops charging forward to harass pocket
    • Effective spin counter at the top his rush
    • Quick lateral response to lineman’s first movements
    • Cross-faces blockers majority of time
    • Consistently plays under his pads
    • Proper technique to brace and scrap versus double teams
    • Rarely ever on the ground
    Weaknesses
    • Lower body tightness is restrictive
    • Unable to click and explode into initial blocks
    • Short-stepper with below-average closing burst
    • Limited reactive agility as short-area tackler
    • Hands are quick but would benefit from more deliberate force
    • Effort over traits could drop him in the draft a little

    #Rams HC Sean McVay says DE Aaron Donald is still “week-to-week” (from ankle sprain. He said there is a possibility Donald can return.

    Sean McVay said he’d be “hard-pressed” to see a scenario where WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) plays again this season.
    .
    McVay added that this thinking here has to do with the timing of Kupp’s injury as well as how long it would take for him to be medically cleared to return to performance.
    .
    McVay said QB John Wolford (neck) will be out this week

    The Rams are releasing OLB Terrell Lewis, per source.
    .
    Lewis’ release means the Rams waived both OLBs who entered the year expected to be the starting rotation opposite Floyd

    Rams HC Sean McVay said DL Marquise Copeland (ankle), DL Aaron Donald (ankle), LB Travin Howard (hip), CB David Long Jr. (groin) and QB John Wolford (neck) are OUT for Monday Night Football against the Packers. C Brian Allen (knee) will be questionable.
