Expanded roster size
With the new CBA, rosters will expand. They gro from 53 players to 55, with 48 being active on game day – up from the previous limit of 46. Additionally, practice squads will grow from 10 to 12 in 2020, and to 14 players in 2022.
With the Rams’ roster being as deep and talented as it has been in recent years, this expansion makes it easier for them to decide who to make active on game day. In the past, they’ve had to make talented players such as Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and David Long Jr. inactive because they simply needed more depth at other positions, such as the offensive line.
With the game-day limit increasing, the Rams can now have more options on Sundays. That’s good news for younger players toward the bottom of the roster.
