Los Angeles Rams waive rookie Tim Keenan III during final roster cuts
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams waived defensive lineman Tim Keenan III on Sunday as part of their final 53-man roster reductions. Drafted 232nd overall in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Keenan was one of three Rams draft picks who failed to make the season-opening roster. The team also placed Keagen Trost on injured reserve, excluding him from the 53-man squad. Aaron Donald announced his return to the team shortly before the deadline, a move that influenced the final defensive line configuration. The Rams currently carry a defensive unit featuring Donald, Poona Ford, Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, Ty Hamilton, and Tyler Davis. Keenan is now subject to league waivers, though the team could potentially sign him to the practice squad if he clears.
