I would think they'd be using OBO on STs along with Kiser...just to get Obo some reps with real NFL game speed.
I dunno...maybe they are just gonna wait til next year or maybe, they think he doesn't have much to offer and are not impressed by his practices.
we'll see, I guess..
Word is they are just redshirting him.
They can't get him practice time because that would mean subtracting time from a starter while preparing to play a game.
They honestly would have no way to assess him at all one way or another after he missed OTAs, camp, and the pre-season. So he can't be disappointing them anymore than he could be impressing them. The fact that he is a redshirt means they don't want to risk putting him on the practice squad though. So there's that.
VB said some things about all this a coupla weeks back:

It’s feeling more and more like a redshirt season for [Obo]. Much like a young player like Sebastian Joseph-Day, sense is #Rams believe there’s a future role. If someone got hurt, they’d be comfortable playing them. But for now, I think Rams” really like the Fowler/Ebukam pairing

they are keeping [Sebastian-Day] on the active roster on almost a redshirt basis rather than trying to slide him through waivers to get him on the practice squad. They know someone would gobble him up on waivers. I’ve been told they believe there is a future role for him. And if there was an injury they’d be comfortable playing him. But for now, they are OK with redshirting him on the 53 and making sure he sticks around
I think the play of Fowler and Ebukam has made Obo another redshirt guy. Fowler is playing like a three-down guy.
