In each of the next three weeks, the Los Angeles Rams will need to make some cuts. By Tuesday, Aug. 17, they have to trim their roster from 90 to 85 players. On Aug. 24, it has to be at 80 players. And finally, they’ll set their 53-man roster by 4 p.m. ET on Aug. 31 after the third preseason game.
With one preseason game done, the Rams are already faced with some tough decisions when it comes to paring their roster down to 85 players. Will they cut special teams players? Or will it be guys who are buried on the depth chart at deep positions?
Here are our predictions for the first five players to be released by Tuesday afternoon.
