Rams plan to sign former Lions CB Jerry Jacobs

With Derion Kendrick out for the year, the Rams plan to sign former Lions starter Jerry Jacobs

It didn’t take very long to make a move at cornerback after losing Derion Kendrick to a torn ACL. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Rams plan to sign former Lions corner Jerry Jacobs.

Jacobs has started 29 games in his three-year career thus far, including 12 last season in Detroit. He has four career interceptions, 23 pass breakups and 131 total tackles, nine of which went for a loss.

The 26-year-old corner out of Arkansas came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and has gone on to have a lot of success. The Rams needed cornerback depth with Kendrick out for the year and Darious Williams nursing a hamstring injury, and Jacobs will at least give the Rams another body in the secondary.
