Trost is a 25-year-old offensive tackle who was selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 93rd overall. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 311 pounds, he has been on injured reserve since just before the season opener. Scouts noted his broad, athletic build and balance through contact, with potential versatility to move inside to guard due to his background at tackle and his ability to operate in both gap and zone schemes. His frame and technique-driven style suggest a ceiling as a versatile option who could develop into a starter over time.
Lampkin, in his third year, entered the league as an undrafted free agent and has appeared in four regular-season games, all with the Rams. He has not seen game action since the 2024 season. His role is expected to be primarily on special teams, though he could contribute on defense if needed.
The team will also be without Alaric Jackson for left tackle duties after a one-game suspension related to an on-field incident with an opponent. David Quessenberry is slated to start in place of Jackson, with Trost providing additional depth on the line.
Additional notes suggest Trost might need some mechanical adjustments to transition fully to inside work, but his fundamental blocking approach—focused technique, solid footwork, and strong hands—should help him adapt. Lampkin’s addition could expand the Rams’ special-teams options, and both players may see action depending on how the game unfolds and how the team manages injury concerns.
For fans following the team, these moves signal a focus on reinforcing the offensive line depth and surrounding depth benefits as the Rams face a midseason schedule.
