Rams 53-man roster projection includes three backups for Todd Gurley
Lindsey Thiry
ESPN
The Los Angeles Rams open training camp July 27 on the campus of UC Irvine in Irvine, Calif. Here's a 53-man roster projection.
QUARTERBACK (3): Jared Goff, Blake Bortles, Brandon Allen
Goff is not expected to sign a long-term extension before the opener, but coach Sean McVay emphasized several times throughout the offseason that he wanted the former No. 1 pick as his quarterback for the long term. Bortles joins the Rams on a one-year deal to provide experience in the backup spot (he led the Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game during the 2017 season) and learn under McVay in hopes of winning a starting job elsewhere in 2020.
RUNNING BACK (4): Todd Gurley, Malcolm Brown, Darrell Henderson, John Kelly
The Rams spent some resources insuring their backfield, as uncertainty looms over the health of Gurley's knee. They wasted little time matching the Lions' two-year, $3.25 million offer sheet for Brown, who returns from a clavicle injury that he suffered in Week 13 and sidelined him for the season. Then they used a third-round pick (their second overall in the draft) to select Henderson, whom McVay calls a "change of pace" back, from Memphis. The only real competition here is between Kelly and Justin Davis for the fourth spot (if the team decides to carry four).
