In Week 10, the Los Angeles Rams won a crucial contest on the road against the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 42-26. It was the best of times for an offense that had been building momentum all season long. But at a time when the team needed offensive firepower, the arsenal was bursting with weaponry.
It was a team suddenly powered by tight ends. Against the 49ers, starting quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 10 of 14 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns to the team's four tight ends. So when the team had an opportunity to backfill a recently vacated roster spot on the practice squad roster, the position was clear.
