Reinforcements are on the way for the Rams’ defense. The team announced on Wednesday that Justin Hollins has been designated to return from injured reserve. He can now begin practicing immediately and the Rams can activate him off IR at any time.
They have 21 days to add him to the 53-man roster, which is merely a formality at this point. If they do not activate him in that window, he will remain on IR for the rest of the season.
Hollins has been out since Week 3 when he injured his pec and landed on IR. He was off to a good start with two sacks and 12 tackles in two-plus games, contributing as the starting outside linebacker opposite Leonard Floyd.

With Von Miller now in the fold, Hollins’ role will likely be reduced compared to how often he was playing in the first three games. But he could earn more snaps by rotating at inside linebacker where the Rams desperately need some help.
