THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- With injuries continuing to mount and a former No. 1 draft pick available, the Los Angeles Rams shook things up on Tuesday by claiming quarterback Baker Mayfield off of waivers.
The Rams' 2022 season has been a disappointment following their storybook Super Bowl win last season. Mayfield, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2018 by the Cleveland Browns, was waived by the Carolina Panthers Monday. He's now expected to fill in for Matthew Stafford throughout the remainder of the season.
Stafford was placed on the injured reserve last week with a spinal cord contusion.
