Rams’ Week 9 roster roundup: Alex Bachman’s release doesn’t mean he’s gone

The Los Angeles Rams announced multiple roster moves ahead of Week 9, highlighted by the release of return specialist Alex Bachman. John Sbisa of Ramblin' Fan suggests the move may be driven by roster management and practice squad elevation limits rather than a permanent parting of ways, with the Rams potentially planning to re-sign Bachman to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

In corresponding moves, the Rams signed cornerback Cam Lampkin to the active 53-man roster, placed running back Dean Connors on injured reserve due to a broken hand, re-signed cornerback Nyzier Fourqurean to the practice squad, and released linebacker Garrett Nelson. Lampkin's promotion was necessary because he had exhausted his three standard practice squad elevations.
