The Los Angeles Rams placed rookie sixth round edge rusher Ochaun Mathis on the Reserve/Injured list on Friday, a move expected after he had missed most of training camp and preseason. Mathis should be eligible to return after four games.

The Rams kept all 14 players in their rookie class, including Mathis obviously, and have zero undrafted free agent rookies on the 53-man roster. By placing Mathis on IR, the Rams have an available roster spot and will be adding someone, probably kicker Brett Maher, before Week 1’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
