Sept. 25: The Rams have activated running back Buddy Howell and defensive back Tyler Hall from the practice squad, the team announced Saturday.
Coach Sean McVay hinted at the idea of Howell being called up on Friday due to the uncertainty of running back Darrell Henderson's game status as he's a game-time decision, battling with a rib injury.
Howell has spent the last three seasons with the Houston Texans. Most recently, Howell registered 16 rushes for 64 yards as a member of the Houston backfield in 2020.
Meanwhile, Hall was elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. However, Hall did not record a defensive statistic in the Week 2 game.
Sept. 21: The Rams have signed running back Javian Hawkins to the practice squad, the team announced Monday. They've also terminated the contract of running back Otis Anderson.
Hawkins spent the 2021 preseason with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons. He was currently a free agent prior to signing with the Rams.
In the college ranks, Hawkings attended Louisville where he rushed for 2,355 yards and 16 touchdowns. As a pass-catcher, he caught 21 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown.
With the surplus of injuries to the Rams running back department, the addition of Hawkins gives them another rushing option to call up from the practice squad if need be.
