It didn’t take very long to make a move at cornerback after losing Derion Kendrick to a torn ACL. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Rams plan to sign former Lions corner Jerry Jacobs.
Jacobs has started 29 games in his three-year career thus far, including 12 last season in Detroit. He has four career interceptions, 23 pass breakups and 131 total tackles, nine of which went for a loss.
The 26-year-old corner out of Arkansas came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and has gone on to have a lot of success. The Rams needed cornerback depth with Kendrick out for the year and Darious Williams nursing a hamstring injury, and Jacobs will at least give the Rams another body in the secondary.
