The deadline to be at 53 players is on Tuesday at 4 p.m. Players with fewer than four accrued seasons will go to the waiver wire. Players with more than four accrued seasons become free agents.

The waiver wire is the 2025 NFL Draft order, which has the Rams at the No. 26 spot. The order does not reset after each move, either, so the Rams are 26th in line for all waiver wire adds, despite their decision to trade away the pick. If the Rams claim a player, he goes to the 53-man roster, and they have to make a corresponding move to release a player.

Teams can put two players on IR before final cuts and activate them later in the season, but they have to miss at least four games. Players on PUP who are not activated on Tuesday must miss at least four games also.

Teams can place up to 2 players on IR before final cuts and still activate them later — but they must miss at least 4 games to start the season. Players on PUP or NFI all camp and not activated by Tuesday also must miss at least 4 games.

Teams can then begin building their 16-man practice squad. Of those 16 players, six can be veterans. The rest must have fewer than four accrued seasons.

With all of this in mind, follow below with us for each move as the Rams get down to 53 players.
