#LARams transaction: we’ve placed practice squad LB Jachai Polite on the reserve/COVID list.
— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) December 12, 2020
The Los Angeles Rams announced on Saturday that they have placed outside linebacker Jachai Polite in the reserve/COVID-19 list. Polite is currently a member of the Rams practice squad
This does not mean Polite has tested positive for COVID-19. He could have been deemed a high-risk close-contact to someone who has tested positive.
The Rams waived Polite this month but re-signed him to the practice squad after he cleared waivers. He has one sack on the year for the Rams.
Polite was a third-round pick by the Jets last year but never played in a regular-season game in 2019.
