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.
