Los Angeles Rams place RB Dean Connors on injured reserve, promote Cam Lampkin
On Nov. 3, 2026, the Los Angeles Rams placed running back Dean Connors on injured reserve and made multiple roster moves, according to the Rams’ transactions page on ESPN. The club signed defensive back Cam Lampkin from the practice squad to the active roster and added Nyzier Fourqurean to the practice squad. The team also released wide receiver Alex Bachman and removed linebacker Garrett Nelson from the practice squad. The moves come with the Rams at 4-4 on the season.
Connors had been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster on Sept. 30, per the transactions history, and his move to injured reserve reduces depth at the running back position. Alex Bachman was added to the roster earlier in October before his release on Nov. 3, and Garrett Nelson was signed to the practice squad in mid-October. The practice-squad signing of Fourqurean gives the Rams additional secondary depth as they navigate the midseason stretch.
The transactions page also shows earlier roster changes this month, including placing wide receiver Davante Adams and defensive lineman Poona Ford on injured reserve on Oct. 20 and defensive end Kobie Turner on injured reserve on Oct. 21. The club added kicker Brandon McManus on Oct. 21 and placed kicker Blake Grupe on injured reserve on Oct. 19, underscoring continued turnover at multiple positions. Those prior moves contributed to the adjustments made on Nov. 3.
NFL Sports Blog Take
The Rams’ latest moves show a team managing roster depth amid a spate of injuries and special-teams changes. Placing Connors on injured reserve compounds the early-season loss of Ronnie Rivers to injured reserve and will force the Rams to rely on remaining backs while the club evaluates options. Promoting Cam Lampkin and signing Nyzier Fourqurean to the practice squad shore up the secondary and provide short-term flexibility as the Rams navigate the next phase of the schedule. Expect continued roster activity as the team balances injuries and prepares for upcoming games.
