The Rams have watched their running back depth dwindle as the season has gone on, forcing them to make frequent moves at the position. They made yet another on Wednesday, signing Mekhi Sargent to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.
He takes the spot of J.J. Koski, who was just waived by the Rams on Tuesday. He was promptly re-signed to the practice squad Wednesday after clearing waivers.
Sargent originally signed to the Rams’ practice squad in early November and was promoted to the game-day roster for Week 13 after the team placed Buddy Howell on injured reserve. Sargent was the backup to Sony Michel, even though Darrell Henderson Jr. was also active.
Sargent carried it twice for a total of 5 yards in garbage time, his first offensive snaps with the Rams.
