– DE Larrell Murchison, a former Titans draft pick (No. 174 in 2020) who turns 29 in April, has been activated from the practice squad. In 34 Rams games, he’s totaled 30 tackles and 4.0 sacks, and he figures to add run-stopping bite and interior pressure if he’s active.
– LB Elias Neal, a 24-year-old UDFA, has been called up. Neal has appeared in eight NFL games across two seasons, logging 100 special-teams snaps but no regular-season stats yet. He’s viewed as a versatile depth piece with potential as a rusher and coverage defender.
– The Rams’ linebacker corps continues to lean on new captain Nate Landman and second-year pro Omar Speights. Neal’s added depth could come into play behind Braden Fiske and Kobe Turner on the defensive front.
– This is a winner-takes-a-trip-to-the-Super-Bowl scenario, with final game-day inactives due 90 minutes before kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Big matchup energy as the NFC title game kicks off, with the Rams sprinting toward another shot at the Super Bowl 🏈📊.
