Don Deal: The $300 million player that the Los Angeles Rams welcome is another elite player.
Waiving Zach VanValkenburg and adding Keir Thomas to the active roster to replace him, the Los Angeles Rams made changes to their outside linebacker room this week. VanValkenburg cleared waivers as anticipated, and the Rams wasted little time in adding him back.
The Rams declared on Thursday that VanValkenburg has been added to the practice squad. In other words, VanValkenburg and Thomas switched roles.
VanValkenburg, who recently recorded one sack and nine total tackles, was the fourth edge rusher on the depth chart behind Byron Young, Michael Hoecht, and Ochaun Mathis. This season, he has only participated in 16% of defensive snaps and 23% of special teams snaps.
