Rams Sign Ex-Titans Draft Pick for NFC Championship Game Roster
The Los Angeles Rams are making strategic roster changes as they approach the NFC Championship Game against the Seattle Seahawks. The team’s latest addition is defensive end Larrell Murchison, previously drafted by the Tennessee Titans.
Rams Add Ex-Titans Draft Pick for NFC Championship Game
Murchison was activated from the practice squad on January 24, a critical move ahead of the playoff clash. He was selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, with the 174th overall pick, and began his career with the Titans. After being waived by Tennessee in December 2022, Murchison joined the Rams.
Player Statistics and Impact
- Murchison has participated in 34 games with the Rams, starting in three.
- He has achieved 30 tackles and 4.0 sacks during his time with the team.
- Across his entire NFL career, Murchison has played in 60 games, with eight starts.
Despite criticisms regarding his movement, analysts praise his relentless energy and presence on the field. His ability to contribute will be vital as the Rams gear up for this high-stakes game.
Additional Roster Changes
In addition to Murchison, linebacker Elias Neal has also been called up to the active roster. Neal, a second-year player and former undrafted free agent, has seen action in eight games over two seasons. His contributions have largely been on special teams.
- Neal logged 100 snaps, all on special teams, without recorded stats in regular-season play.
- He is recognized for his capability as a pass rusher and potential impact on special teams.
Neal’s presence adds depth to the Rams’ lineup, especially alongside standout players like Nate Landman and Omar Speights. With kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET, the Rams are finalizing their game-day roster, which will be announced 90 minutes before the match.
The NFC Championship Game represents a significant opportunity for the Rams on their journey toward the Super Bowl. By activating Murchison and Neal, the team is bolstering its roster to enhance performance against the Seahawks.
