Rams snap counts: Bobby Evans plays entire game, rookie CBs get more run vs. Texans
What can we learn from the Rams' snap counts in Friday's loss to the Texans?
Umm Logan Bruss?RG) Coleman Shelton, Logan Bruss, Tremayne Anchrum
He has a high ankle sprain and is going on the PUP listOLB - Daniel Hardy
Umm Logan Bruss?
He is out for the season with a torn ACL

Good list...Yeah thanks, although my post came out about 2 hours prior to the injury announcements. Too late to edit.

Studs and duds from Rams’ 24-20 loss to Texans: Durant, Williams stand out for LA
Cobie Durant and Jonah Williams were among the standouts for the Rams against the Texans, heading into Week 3 of the preseason with momentumwww.yahoo.com
Good list...
Accuri now for Bruss and Whitley for Hardy.
And I would carry Jonah Williams and remove the 4th ILB. You can add a couple of ILB's to the practice squad that can come up and play if you need STs help or an injury hits that group.
I don't ever want to see Evans play another snap for the Rams... I've seen enough... I saw enough previous years but it only keeps getting hammered in every additional snap he takes.
Quite frankly I don't think Pircher will ever be an option, he's a roster exemption and I don't foresee him ever playing a down of professional football.Really surprised that Evans received 100% of his OL snaps and we still haven't gotten a decent look at Max Pircher, ... might they reverse these numbers next week ?

There is a roster exemption because Pircher is part of the NFL Europe growth & development. Teams are awarded players from Europe, they don't count against the roster and it gives that player a chance of major development at a premier level.If this is the case, and it very well could be, then I'm surprised he wasn't cut with Ealy. I'd anticipate his removal with the final cuts should Evans receive all the RT snaps again this week.
Snead may really need to pull a rabbit out of his hat this time ...

This is Pircher's last year in the International Player Pathway Program, so no reason to cut him because it gives the Rams an extra body without counting against the roster including the practice squad.
They can't cut him, that's why he doesn't count against the roster. In essence the Rams have an extra guy over everyone else. The goal is for those players to get the coaching & development. How can he hurt the Rams, if he's just an extra guy. Whether he plays or not is superfluous.There's reason to cut him imo if he can't even get into a pre-season game, especially when depth is struggling.
Can't say I'm aware of all the rules for an 'International Player' or whether his second year in the program automatically rolls over, as you suggest. Carrying a free extra body at OT can't hurt since he wouldn't be taking up roster space, but he isn't helping much either.
Only thing I can think of is can they get a different Europe guy if they just don't see Pircher working out? Like you said having him hurts nothing so why not but are we stuck with him until the end of his eligibility or can we go out and replace him with someone else? Don't care just curious more than anything.They can't cut him, that's why he doesn't count against the roster. In essence the Rams have an extra guy over everyone else.

OK, who did I forget ?
I see the competition between Marquise Copeland & Jonah Williams tightening.
I still believe we'll use a waiver or trade for a RB.
Will we seek out another ILB ?
Bryce Perkins will be waived and picked up by another team before the Rams can reclaim him to our Practice Squad.
