With Jonah Jackson and John Johnson III heading to injured reserve, the Los Angeles Rams have brought in some depth at both guard and safety. The Rams signed Justin Dedich from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Wednesday, also signing Quindell Johnson to the practice squad.
Dedich is a rookie who was signed as an undrafted free agent this year but he was cut before the season began. He’s been on the practice squad since but will not have an opportunity to be a member of the active roster.
Johnson was signed by the Rams as an undrafted rookie last year but was one of their final cuts. He was claimed off waivers by the Bears and was waived last month, opening the door for him to return to the Rams.
Dedich will help at guard by backing up Logan Bruss, while Johnson will likely stay on the practice squad as an emergency option behind the Rams’ starters and backup safeties.
