Max Klare is Rams' first rookie draft pick to be active this season

In the 2026 NFL draft, the Los Angeles Rams chose a small group of prospects, ultimately keeping only three rookies on the roster - Ty Simpson, Max Klare, and CJ Daniels. Unfortunately, Simpson and Daniels were inactive for the team's first game against the 49ers in Australia. However, Klare emerged as the first Rams rookie to be active this season, making his debut in the game against the Giants.

While it remains uncertain if Klare will see any playing time, his availability could provide the Rams with additional options in their tight end corps, especially with Puka Nacua sidelined. Klare, known for his skills as a receiver and tight end, has significant potential for the team not just this season, but for the years ahead.
