No corresponding roster move was announced.When Rams head coach Sean McVay took over before the 2017 NFL season, he was already established as one of the premier up and coming offensive minds in the NFL. He wasted little time transforming Rams QB Jared Goff from ‘bust’ to a franchise QB.He has also shown an eye for maximizing talent at WR. WRs Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods both eclipsed 1200 yards in 2018 and Cooper Kupp was on pace for over 1100 yards before he was lost for the season with a torn ACL. After losing Kupp, Josh Reynolds showed flashes of being a very capable NFL receiver as well.I outline all of this because the Rams have four WRs on the roster who can contribute in a major way - and that’s not including TEs or RBs. Meaning that any UDFAs would likely be fighting for practice squad slots as a best case scenario.I sincerely hope that Sumpter was able to improve from his brief stint with the Rams and hope that he can use that experience to catch on elsewhere in the NFL. The Panthers are feeling optimistic. Or at least buying themselves a minute to come up with a Plan B.Via Jourdan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com Joseph Noteboom Jersey , Panthers General Manager Marty Hurney confirmed that quarterback Cam Newton has a “mid-foot sprain in his left foot.”Hurney also said “we are cautiously optimistic he will be ready for Week One.”That would be the best-case scenario for the former MVP, giving him 16 days to prepare to play the Rams.It also gives them a second to find a better backup plan, after Kyle Allen and rookie Will Grier have so far not proven themselves ready for the job.For an experienced team that went all-in on a number of veteran free agents this offseason (Gerald McCoy http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-jamon-brown-jersey , Matt Paradis, etc.), leaving the backup quarterback position in the hands of kids was a strange choice — more of a wish than a plan.Now Womens Greg Zuerlein Jersey , we have to see if they truly think Newton’s going to be well, or whether they scramble to add some veteran cover.
