In the next two days, the Los Angeles Rams will need to trim their roster down from 80 players to only 53, setting their initial squad for the 2022 season. Obviously, changes will be made not only in the days that follow final cuts, but also throughout the season, but making the 53-man roster is a huge step for players.
Now that the preseason is wrapped up and training camp is in the rearview mirror, players no longer have opportunities to impress the coaching staff beyond the play they put on film. Saturday’s preseason finale could’ve gone better for a lot of players, but the team likely already had a good idea of who is going to make the team.
Here’s my latest roster projection for the Rams before they start trimming it down. Keeping three quarterbacks, eight receivers and only two tight ends seems like the play, even as different as that is for Sean McVay and the Rams.
They can easily make it work, too.
