    #Rams UDFA LB Omar Speights is the 9th highest graded defensive player per PFF. He had himself a very nice performance against the Cowboys last night. Can he make the 53?

    Former #Rams WR and West Virginia star Tavon Austin is retiring from the NFL. One of the most electric college football players of all time.

    PFF LA Rams@PFF_Rams
    Tavon Austin scored 7 touchdowns of 50+ yards from 2013 to 2015

    Only DeSean Jackson had more during that time period in the NFL.

    Congrats on retirement

    The Rams waived K Tanner Brown, who had been their second leg in camp alongside sixth-round rookie Josh Karty. Karty made quite a statement in Sunday’s preseason game (2/2 FG and game-winning XP), but he has also been consistent most of camp.

    Rams signed veteran DL Carlos Watkins, the team announced. A little rotational depth with Desjuan Johnson in a walking boot at yesterday’s practice. Has played a little DE/edge too.

    THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The Rams on Wednesday added to their defensive line room, signing veteran Carlos Watkins.

    Watkins, 30, most recently played for the Arizona Cardinals. His 2023 season with them was cut short by a Week 2 bicep injury that landed him on Injured Reserve for the remainder of the year.

    Prior to his time in Arizona, he played two seasons for the Dallas Cowboys.

    Watkins originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick out of Clemson by the Houston Texans in 2017, where he played his first four NFL seasons. He has recorded 139 total tackles and 6 sacks across 71 career games (37 starts) in seven seasons.

    ME: his best year was 2021 with Dallas, where he started 14 games for them as a run-stopping DT in their 3/4+4/3 variable fronts defense.
