AgamemnonParticipantWas just a matter of time: #Rams have placed LB Alec Ogletree on injured reserve with the designation to return.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) October 27, 2015
Ogletree (fractured fibula) now must sit an additional six weeks before he's eligible to practice and eight weeks before eligible to play.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) October 27, 2015
Rams had waited to see if they'd need the designation for someone else in past few weeks, knowing Ogletree recovery longer than 8 weeks.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) October 27, 2015
This was really 1 of last chances to use the designation since another week would mean a player coming back wouldn't have much time to play.

We have an opening on the roster. Who gets called up?
Who gets added to the practice squad? We already had one opening cause of calling up Watts and we still haven’t signed Bryant back to the practice squad, which I expect to happen.

AgamemnonParticipantRams P Johnny Hekker quietly had a big game Sunday. Earned ESPN's Punter of the Week for second time this season for 48 yard net average.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) October 27, 2015
Three of Hekker's five punts ended with Cleveland beginning drives inside its 10-yard line.

AgamemnonParticipantRams have finally made it official, putting LB Alec Ogletree (ankle/fibula) on the injured reserve/designated for return list.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) October 27, 2015
Ogletree isn't eligible to return to the active roster until Dec. 27 at Seattle, or Game 15.

AgamemnonParticipantOn today's transaction wire: Rams have re-signed S Christian Bryant to active roster. He takes Ogletree's spot.
— Nick Wagoner (@nwagoner) October 27, 2015
That takes care of Bryant. Now we need to who gets added to the practice squad. But that isn’t a big deal.

AgamemnonParticipantRams have promoted DT Doug Worthington to the active roster from the practice squad, and released Jo-Lonn Dunbar.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) October 27, 2015
With 2 practice squad spots open, Rams have added DE Gerald Rivers and LB/DE Zack Hodges to the PS. Rivers was w/Rams briefly in 2013.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) October 27, 2015
Ok, that takes care of the roster and the practice.

ZooeyModeratorReleased Dunbar?
Well, I guess the Rams are pretty happy with Barron.

Blue and GoldWhy Westbrooks to DE and Worthington to DT? Ethan was never backing up Aaron Donald this season. He was backing up Brockers. Early in the season Fairley was backing up Donald, but the week before the bye he backed up both Donald and Brockers (the week Ethan didn’t suit up). Therefore, with Long down and Ethan playing LDE, then yeah they can bring up someone to take his snaps inside, which would be Worthington who will back up Brockers (taking Westrbooks early season role).
As far as Worthington, I don’t know who has seen him play. All I know is he is tall and maybe 310-320 pounds. I think I will look up his 2010 season with the Redskins and find his 3 tackles . . .but not sure we can have a sense about him until he plays. So, as far as him being good at keeping Lbers free…he doesn’t have a lot of playing time for any of us fans to know. I just assume Waufle and Williams know what they are doing on the d-line ..
As for Ethan, he’s right, he had several “splash” plays in the 3rd quarter . . .he’s a bit slow in his takeoff . . .but he is very powerful, I posted vids of him in weeks 2-3 I think. He was 267 in college and maybe at combine, but he played at maybe 275-280 last year and this year maybe 285-290 or so.
Ethan has a good stance, really flat back in that stance, similar to Long’s in some ways. (Unlike Quinn with the high rear end) and he can knock back blockers and he hustles . . .he’s a really good backup. But there is a logjam at LDE now, with Long and Hayes, so they moved him to DT so he can get snaps. Now, with the injuries he’s filling back in at his best spot—just my opinion.
