Rams final roster decisions loom as four players fight to stay
Summary

The Kansas City Rams are preparing for crucial roster cuts ahead of the NFL season as they face tough decisions regarding running backs and offensive linemen. As of August 22, running back Ronnie Rivers remains a key figure as he has not played in preseason games, potentially indicating his importance as a kick returner. Jarquez Hunter, a fourth-round pick, has gained attention with significant playing time but still competes with Rivers. Dean Connors and A.J. Arcuri are also in contention for a roster spot, with expectations outlining David Quessenberry's likely retention over others. The Rams will finalize their 53-man roster soon after evaluating performance during preseason.
