The Los Angeles Rams traded tight end Mark Redman to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The move came as the Rams determined Redman would not clear waivers and lacked an open spot on the 53-man roster. Although the team plans to carry five tight ends—Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, Davis Allen, and Max Klare—concerns remain regarding the unit's durability. Both Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson missed significant time due to injury last season. Past personnel shortages forced the team to abandon its 13-personnel offensive packages when injuries sidelined key players. To avoid repeating these schematic disruptions, the Rams must prioritize signing a game-ready tight end to the practice squad before the season begins.
