The Los Angeles Rams will cut their roster to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET Saturday. Here's a projection:

QUARTERBACK (2): Jared Goff, Blake Bortles

Entering the fourth season of his rookie deal, Goff does not have a new contract in hand, but general manager Les Snead said during camp that it's "Not a matter of if, but when" the former first-overall pick signs a long-term deal. The Rams added some insurance behind him when they signed Bortles to a one-year deal. Bortles led the Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game in 2017 and will be a suitable backup if anything happens to Goff.

RUNNING BACK (4): Todd Gurley, Malcolm Brown, Darrell Henderson, John Kelly

Expect the Rams to carry three backups behind Gurley, who practiced on an every-other-day schedule throughout camp. The Rams matched the Lions' two-year, $3.3 million offer sheet for Brown, spent a third-round pick on Henderson and Kelly fought his way into the last spot during the preseason.
