Eric Weddle Added To Rams Active Roster
3 years agoThe Los Angeles Rams officially elevated formerly retired safety Eric Weddle from their practice squad to the active roster in order to play in Monday night's wild-card game against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. Defensive back Blake Countess also joined the active roster. The Rams needed more secondary depth after starting safety Jordan Fuller (ankle) was placed on Injured Reserve last week. Weddle will be active to close out super wild-card weekend, but given the fact that he hasn't played since retiring after the 2019 season, we shouldn't expect the 37-year-old to be on the field all that much. LA will also be missing safety Taylor Rapp (concussion), so Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray could have some success deep down the field if he's given enough time to throw.
