The Los Angeles Rams are set to welcome Jonah Jackson and Steve Avila back to the starting lineup on Monday night against the Miami Dolphins. The team officially activated both players off injured reserve, making it likely that they will start at center and guard.
That’s excellent news for the Rams, but it does come at the cost of someone’s roster spot. To make room for Avila and Jackson, the Rams surprisingly waived Logan Bruss, a former third-round pick. Bruss started three games at left guard this season before being benched for undrafted rookie Justin Dedich, who has started the last three games and played well in Bruss’ place.
The Rams selected Bruss with the 104th overall pick in the 2022 draft, making him their top pick in that year’s class. He missed his rookie season with a torn ACL that he suffered in the preseason and spent last season on the practice squad before making the team this summer and getting his first chance to start.
LA Rams Roster Moves:
• Activated, from Reserve OL Steve Avila, OL Jonah Jackson
• Activated, from Practice Squad DE Jonah Williams
• Waived, No Recall OL Logan Bruss pic.twitter.com/Csq70h99dP— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) November 11, 2024
It’s likely that the Rams will try to sign Bruss back to the practice squad, but because he’s subject to waivers, another team could potentially claim him before Los Angeles gets the chance to bring him back.
In addition to those three roster moves, the Rams activated Jonah Williams from the practice squad with Neville Gallimore ruled out. He’ll provide depth along the defensive line.
