It’s been a wild ride for Rams linebacker Dakota Allen in his first NFL season, and there are still three weeks remaining. The rookie is on the move once again after the Jacksonville Jaguars signed him off the Rams’ practice squad Tuesday.
With the Jaguars poaching him, Allen will revert to their 53-man roster for at least three weeks. If Jacksonville cuts him, he still has to be paid the amount he would’ve made if he were on the team.

To make room, we placed LB Jake Ryan (hamstring) and OL Brandon Thomas (knee) on our reserve/injured list. pic.twitter.com/OsSPGJCYHk

Allen was drafted by the Rams in the seventh round but failed to make the regular-season roster. He spent a few weeks on the practice squad, but in late September, the Raiders signed him to their active roster.
He was waived after about a month and the Rams brought him back on the practice squad, where he had been until Tuesday. Now, he’ll move across the country, but he’ll do so with the chance to play on Sundays.
