Rams sign former Seahawks RB SaRodorick Thompson

The Rams added to their backfield on Thursday, signing former Seahawks RB SaRodorick Thompson

The Los Angeles Rams have had five running backs on their roster all summer, but only two have played in the preseason. That could change this week after the team signed former Seahawks running back SaRodorick Thompson to the 90-man roster on Thursday, adding some depth to the backfield.

Thompson signed with the Saints as an undrafted rookie last year but ended up landing with the Seahawks in July. He played one regular-season game with Seattle in 2023 but was on the field for just two offensive snaps. He did not carry the ball in the regular season.

Thompson played his college football at Texas Tech where he had 2,664 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns in his career. He ranks third in the Texas Tech record book with 40 career rushing touchdowns.

This signing by the Rams could signal that either Boston Scott or Zach Evans is injured, considering they’re the only two running backs expected to play against the Texans on Sunday.

Cowboys expected to add 4 players to practice squad on Thursday

Dallas has been active with their roster leading up to their regular season finale in Washington. Not only str the Cowboys signing former starting right tackle La’el Collins to the practice squad, but they also will add former Cowboy linebacker Damien Wilson. These are among four players expected to join the club once they create room on the 16-man squad.

Collins signed with Dallas back in 2015 and started 71 games along the offensive line. Collins accounted for $8.1 million against the Cowboys salary cap this season after the team released him back in March 2022. His practice squad salary goes unaccounted for as only the top 51 salaries in the NFL count against the cap.

Wilson signed with Kansas City and wound up winning and losing a Super Bowl in his two years in the Midwest. Wilson suited up for 17 games with the Carolina Panthers in 2022, with five starts. His path to seeing the field will hinge on how quickly he can adapt to the scheme.

They did not stop there as the team is also adding wideout Racey McMath and running back SaRodorick Thompson.

McMath was a sixth-round draft pick by Tennessee back in 2021. The former LSU product played in five games this season catching two passes for 40 yards.

Thompson is a rookie undrafted free agent who started with the Seahawks and was signed to their original practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. All four players will be eligible to practice once the official announcement is made.

Seahawks 2023 practice squad tracker: DE Hamilcar Rashed signs

 Our practice squad tracker is updated.

The Seattle Seahawks lost their second-year outside linebacker Tyreke Smith this week when he was signed by the Arizona Cardinals off their practice squad. The team has just announced that they’ve signed former Oregon State defensive end Hamilcar Rashed to take Smith’s place.

Our practice squad tracker is updated (Dec. 15).

Seahawks 53-man roster tracker: Leonard Williams in, Cody Thompson out

Here’s the updated 53-man roster by jersey number going into tomorrow’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Seahawks are serious about making a deep postseason run this year. Just hours after their home win over the Browns, Seattle pulled off a trade that should help them get there. The front office has sent a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Giants in exchange for Leonard Williams, one of the top interior pass rushers in the league.

To make room for Wiliams, the Seahawks have waived wide receiver Cody Thompson. Our roster tracker is now updated (Oct. 31).

Zach Charbonnet not expected to play for Seahawks today

Zach Charbonnet not expected to play for Seahawks today

According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, rookie running back Zach Charbonnet is not expected to play for the Seahawks in today’s home game against the Cardinals. To account for this possibility, yesterday the team elevated undrafted rookie running back SaRodorick Thompson from the practice squad.

It’s a bummer for Charbonnet, who’s off to a good start in his career despite limited time on the field. As a rusher he has totaled 109 yards on 23 attempts – averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Charbonnet has also gotten high marks in pass protection, earning the team’s best pass blocking grade from PFF (85.8).

Seattle also elevated wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. from the practice squad on Saturday. That is likely a hedge in case DK Metcalf (ribs, hip) is on the inactives list.

Rookie return man Malik Flowers among surprising Saints roster cuts

Undrafted rookie return man Malik Flowers among surprising Saints roster cuts after minicamp: | @crissy_froyd

It’s always tough to see young players stumble as they chase their NFL dreams, but that’s an unfortunate part of the business. And the New Orleans Saints let go of several players after veteran free agents tried out during minicamp this week, including an undrafted rookie with a lot of fans. These players will hit the waiver wire and be pursuing their careers elsewhere:

3 Defensive Players to watch as Oklahoma takes on Texas Tech

The Sooners will take on Texas Tech in the last game before a much-needed bye week. Which 3 defenders will make an impact in Saturday’s game?

Some things are better solved with simplistic answers instead of trying to overcomplicate things. In the case of the current state of the Oklahoma Sooners defense, they simply need to get it done.

After a horrible showing for over half of the game in Lawrence, Kansas the Sooners found a way to make enough plays to get out of there with a win.

Now, they return home and face a Texas Tech offense that is far from a slouch and has some players that can make this game a headache for Oklahoma.

Texas Tech ranks second in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma in passing offense, and senior quarterback Henry Columbi has a big (literally) receiving weapon in 6-foot, 3-inch Eric Ezukanma, who will tower over the smaller OU defensive backs that Oklahoma is bound to send out there.

Senior Kaylon Geiger is their other main wide receiving threat and he has over 400 yards receiving to this point as well.

Their running game has guys like SaRodorick Thompson and Tahj Brooks, who both have over 300 yards and at least four touchdowns on the season.

Who are the three defensive players that can help out Oklahoma this week taking on this multi-faceted and talented Texas Tech offense? Take a look below.

The Locked on Longhorns Podcast starts the week off getting prepared for the Texas Tech game. We preview the battle of the quarterbacks with Sam Ehlinger, who will be facing the Red Raiders for the fourth time. His career record is 2-1 against them. In his last game against Tech in Lubbock, he led them to a last second win. Alan Bowman will be making his debut in the series. Due to season ending injuries the last two years, Bowman has yet to play against Texas.

On the subject of running backs, Patrick and Cami discuss who will start for the Longhorns. Keatontay Ingram is listed as the starter but as seen in the opener it was Roschon Johnson who took the first snaps. Head coach Tom Herman has stated that they will spread the snaps equally among the three backs, including freshman Bijan Robinson. For Tech, their running back was arrested on Monday afternoon. What is his status for the game on Saturday?

Betting odds have been released for the Big 12 Conference’s slate of games coming up on Saturday. Which teams are the heavy favorites and who is beginning as the underdogs? Plus a look at Oklahoma State who struggled in their opener and the team power rankings heading into week three.
