Rams sign Jamie Sheriff to practice squad and release Tim Keenan III
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams signed outside linebacker Jamie Sheriff to the team's practice squad on September 3, 2026. To accommodate the move, the franchise terminated the practice squad contract of rookie nose tackle Tim Keenan III. This transaction marks the second time in one week that the Rams have released the former Alabama standout. Keenan, who was the team's 232nd overall pick in the 2026 draft, struggled during the preseason. Sheriff joins the organization after being waived by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. He previously spent time with the Carolina Panthers and provides additional edge-rushing depth for the Los Angeles coaching staff. Keenan is now a free agent looking for a new team after his second departure from the Rams in recent days.
