The LA Rams didn’t waste any time calling up the reserves for their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears. Each week, an NFL team can activate up to two players from the practice squad. Of course, with the LA Rams running short of edge rushers for the opener, calling up OLB Justin Lawler was a foregone conclusion. Curiously, the LA Rams also activated defensive back Tyler Hall for the season opener.
