Sean McVay explains why Rams signed Pro Bowl LB Eric Kendricks

The Rams signed former All-Pro LB Eric Kendricks to the practice squad and Sean McVay explained what he brings to the team.

The Los Angeles Rams bolstered their practice squad recently by signing former All-Pro linebacker Eric Kendricks. This unexpected move came despite Nate Landman and Omar Speights being the established starters. McVay, the Rams head coach, shared his thoughts on Kendricks during a Thursday press conference. He highlighted Kendricks' wealth of experience and insightful understanding of the defense.

McVay emphasized that Kendricks has played a significant amount of meaningful football throughout his 12 NFL seasons. Kendricks showcased his abilities in his first walkthrough, displaying a strong grasp of the defense. This development also comes as a relief for the Rams, considering Landman is dealing with a shoulder injury and Grant Stuard is also injured.

With Kendricks joining the team, the linebacker room gains valuable depth, providing more options in case of injuries.
