With Troy Reeder on injured reserve, the Los Angeles Rams have gotten a little bit thin at linebacker. They made a move on Monday to add some depth, signing an inside linebacker to the practice squad.
The team announced it has added Tony Fields II to the practice squad, filling an open spot that was available. Fields is a former fifth-round pick, getting drafted by the Browns at No. 153 overall in 2021.
The 6-foot, 222-pound linebacker has played 45 games in his career and made 10 starts, all in 2022 and 2023. He’s only appeared in one game this season, making two tackles.
At the NFL combine three years ago, he ran a 4.64 40-yard dash, had a 114-inch broad jump and a 34-inch vertical.
The Rams have Christian Rozeboom and Omar Speights starting right now, with Jake Hummel also getting snaps last week, so Fields will need to work his way up the depth chart.
