Rams sign Blake Hance as offensive line depth amid injuries

The Los Angeles Rams added offensive guard Blake Hance to their roster on July 29, 2026, as preparation for the upcoming NFL season continues. Hance, a seven-year NFL veteran, joins the team after backup guard Justin Dedich was placed on the NFI list due to a hand injury suffered around the Fourth of July. Hance's experience includes time with the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans. He has appeared in 63 games, starting 11 of them. Hance's signing follows the recent addition of safety Alex Cook and guard Bill Murray to the Rams' training camp roster.
