Rams cut PR Alex Bachman, place RB on IR and make 3 other roster moves
The Rams shuffled their roster ahead of Week 9, cutting Alex Bachman, placing Dean Connors on IR and signing Cam Lampkin to the 53-man roster.
The Los Angeles Rams made five roster moves ahead of their Sunday game against the Washington Commanders, with the most significant being the release of punt returner and wide receiver Alex Bachman from the 53-man roster. Bachman had replaced Xavier Smith as the team's primary return specialist, but he has struggled to make an impact, returning only nine punts for 47 yards and 13 kickoffs for 298 yards.
To replace him, the Rams signed Cam Lampkin from the practice squad, who will join the 53-man roster. Additionally, Nyzier Fourqurean was re-signed to the practice squad, while running back Dean Connors was placed on injured reserve. Lastly, linebacker Garrett Nelson was released from the practice squad. The majority of these moves appear to be aimed at improving the team's special teams performance, with Connors having a brief opportunity to return kickoffs before breaking his hand and Nelson being cut after being brought in as a special teams addition.
