After a strong performance from quarterback Bryce Perkins in the Rams' loss to the Las Vegas Raiders last week, Los Angeles opted to waive Devlin Hodges. Perkins is expected to play the whole game once again with John Wolford ruled out.
The Rams recently made a trade to acquire running back Sony Michel from the New England Patriots. Los Angeles used a 2022 sixth-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round pick to get the deal done. The move was made after Cam Akers went down with a season-ending Achilles tear prior to training camp.
"That's going to be a complementary backfield," Rams general manager Les Snead said on Wednesday. "What he does bring is this element of make a cut, get north and south and get north and south with some force. The physics that he brings to the table – let's call it a flavor of genre that we felt like complemented our group."
While the Michel trade is an intriguing one to debate, he is not expected to play in the Rams' preseason finale. However, it will be important to see how backup running backs Jake Funk and Xavier Jones perform.
The preseason finale is always an opportunity for players around the NFL to give one last showcase to earn a roster spot. One player to watch is rookie linebacker Chris Garrett, who had a solid outing last week against the Raiders.
