6th rounder, he is likely to make it to the practice squad imo. Today may be the best timing to ensure he gets there, assuming they saw enough to want him.
Yeah. I think that’s right. If the Rams are sneaking Demby through to the practice squad–and in retrospect that is probably what they intended to do all along–they obviously picked an interesting day to do it. The day before the first Sunday games is probably the right time to cut a 6th rounder you want to keep. Get the exemption for Donald, if you activate him for game 1 then Demby goes to the ps, same if you activate Donald for game 2.
In terms of Monday’s game, the Rams usually had only 7 active linemen last year too. So having 7 for Monday is not a big departure. That raises the question, what do most teams do. Do most teams have 2 or 3 backup OL active on game days? If 2 is a minority, how many do it that way? Are the Rams exceptional in doing it that way? Checking that out would be exhausting. But I did a quick check of New England for 2017 and they had 7 OL active for the 2 games I looked at. So having 7 is not a huge exception. I suppose it’s only an issue if this is one of those rare times where a team loses 3 linemen in one game.
