Rams Promote WR Nsimba Webster

November 16th, 2019 at 11:47am CST by Ben Levine

Nsimba Webster could make his NFL debut tomorrow. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports (via Twitter) that the Rams have elevated the wideout to their active roster.

Part of the reason for Webster’s promotion is due to the Rams’ diminished receiver depth. Brandin Cooks remains sidelined with a concussion, while three of the team’s tight ends (Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee, Johnny Mundt) were also listed on the injury report with various ailments. Jared Goff will need every healthy target against the Bears, necessitating today’s move.

However, Rapoport notes that Webster was also promoted because a rival team tried to sign him off the practice squad. The Rams clearly believe in the receiver’s potential, leading to his placement on the roster.

There’s plenty of reasons to be intrigued by the undrafted rookie out of Eastern Washington. Webster had a very productive senior campaign, hauling in 84 receptions for 1,379 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had a standout preseason, leading the Rams in receptions (15) and receiving yards (150). This led to him making the initial 53-man roster.

Webster was inactive for the Rams’ first five games of the season, and he was waived by the team in mid-October. He subsequently landed with the organization’s practice squad.

Rams Sign 19 Undrafted Free Agents

April 30th, 2019 at 4:56pm CST by Sam Robinson

Two days after the draft’s conclusion, the Rams finalized their undrafted free agent list. Here are the 14 rookies that will comprise the defending NFC champions’ priority free agent contingent:

Alex Bachman, WR (Wake Forest)
Kendall Blanton, TE (Missouri)
Chandler Brewer, G (Middle Tennessee)
Romello Brooker, TE (Houston)
Keenan Brown, TE (Texas State)
Matthew Colburn, RB (Wake Forest)
Marquise Copeland, DT (Cincinnati)
Landis Durham, LB (Texas A&M)
Brandon Hitner, G (Villanova)
Vitas Hrynkiewicz, C (Youngstown State)
Matt Kaskey, OL (Dartmouth)
Johnathan Lloyd, WR (Duke)
Natrez Patrick, LB (Georgia)
Justice Powers, OL (UAB)
Troy Reeder, LB (Delaware)
Owen Roberts, DT (San Jose State)
Justin Sumpter, WR (Kennesaw State)
Tyrell Thompson, DT (Tarleton State)
Nsimba Webster, WR (Eastern Washington)

The Rams did not use a draft choice on a tight end and have the same group they featured last season, one fronted by Tyler Higbee and 2018 second-rounder Gerald Everett. Third-year UDFA Johnny Mundt is also on Los Angeles’ roster at tight end. Neither Blanton nor Brooker exceeded 500 yards in their respective careers. Brown transferred to Texas State from Oklahoma State, and after being a bit part of the Cowboys’ passing attack, his 2018 numbers at the Sun Belt program — 51 receptions, 577 yards, five touchdown catches — were among the best of Division I-FBS tight ends last season.

Lloyd served as one of Daniel Jones’ top Blue Devils targets, going for 604 yards and five touchdown receptions last season. Sumpter led the Division I-FCS team in receiving in each of his final two seasons, posting 610 as a junior in 2017.
