Rams sign CB Damarion Williams to practice squad, cut LB Jamie Sheriff
The Rams added a secondary piece to their practice squad who's bounced around the league for a few years.
The Los Angeles Rams made two practice squad moves, according to NFL transaction wire reports. First, they signed cornerback Damarion Williams, 28, a 5-foot-10, 183-pound player who played college football at Houston. The Baltimore Ravens chose Williams in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, Williams played 14 games, recording 24 tackles, of which 15 were solo tackles, one tackle for loss, and two pass breakups.
He appeared in only one game during the 2023 season. Over his 15 career games, Williams has yet to start a game and has no interceptions or sacks. Since being drafted by the Ravens in 2022, Williams has been traded around, being waived by Baltimore in August 2024, joining the Seahawks and Buccaneers, each time spending time on practice squads.
He was waived by Tampa Bay on August 30 and then from injured reserve on September 3, making the Rams his fourth team.
Next, the Rams released linebacker Jamie Sheriff, 26, who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 254 pounds. Sheriff played college football at Mississippi Gulf Coast and South Alabama. He has made three NFL appearances: two in 2024—one with Carolina and one with Seattle—and one in 2025 with Seattle. Sheriff has only one career tackle, which he recorded in 2025, and is a one-time Super Bowl champion.
In 2024, he went undrafted and signed with Seattle, was claimed by Carolina the day after Seattle waived him, and played 17 snaps in Carolina's Week 1 loss. He returned to the Seahawks' practice squad in September and stayed there until he was waived on August 30, making the Rams his third team. Both of these moves are practice squad transactions and do not impact the Rams' 53-man roster.
