Max Klare becomes Rams' first active rookie from 2026 draft class
Summary

Los Angeles Rams tight end Max Klare is now the first player from the team's 2026 draft class to be active this season. Initially healthy scratched in Week 1 against the 49ers, Klare is available for the matchup against the Giants. This comes after two fellow rookie draft picks, Tim Keenan III and Keagen Trost, did not make the 53-man roster. With Puka Nacua unavailable, Klare may see increased usage in the game, which could lead to opportunities for him on offense.
