4 Rams who just missed the roster bubble

These running backs and tackles are in a fight for their NFL lives: Will any of the 4 make it to the 53?

4 Rams who just missed the roster bubble

Inglewood, August 22 - As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for their final roster cuts, the focus is on four players who have failed to make the cut so far: Ronnie Rivers, Austin Blaske, A.J. Arcuri, and Dean Connors. These four players are the most contentious decisions for head coach Sean McVay as he finalizes the team's 53-man roster.

Rivers and Connors are in the top two spots on the list, with 47-percent and 39-percent of fans favoring their inclusion, respectively. Blaske and Arcuri both have 34-percent support. McVay has indicated that Rivers will make the roster, given his role as the team's kick returner. However, if Rivers is not selected, it may be due to the performance of other running backs Jarquez Hunter, Dean Connors, or Jordan Waters.

Hunter, a fourth-round pick, is favored by 79-percent of fans to make the cut. His extensive preseason playing time, including a strong performance in the fourth quarter, may secure his spot on the roster. In contrast, Connors, an undrafted rookie, has only played six snaps against the New Orleans Saints. Despite his limited playing time, Connors remains on 76-percent of rosters, suggesting that he could make McVay's final roster.

Former seventh-round pick A.J. Arcuri is still considered a preseason and practice squad player by most fans, with 34-percent support. Blaske, who played the entire game against the Saints, is supported by 34-percent of fans. The consensus appears to be that David Quessenberry will be on the roster over Blaske and Arcuri, with Quessenberry sitting out the preseason due to his high support rate.
