Rams waive undrafted rookie LB, opening up a roster spot

The Rams opened up a roster spot, waiving 2024 UDFA Elias Neal on Monday.

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they have waived LB Elias Neal. Neal, a 2024 undrafted free-agent signing from Marshall University, impressed coaches and executives in the preseason. Neal defied the odds, making the teams’ 53-man roster to begin the season.

During his time with the Rams, Neal was active in five games and exclusively played on special teams. Neal saw zero defensive snaps during his time with the organization.

Waiving Neal opens up a roster spot for the Rams. Only time will tell what the Rams do with said opening but Sean McVay said Monday that the team could activate Joe Noteboom from injured reserve this week, so he would require a spot on the 53-man roster.
