The Los Angeles Rams signed former All-Pro linebacker Eric Kendricks to their practice squad on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. This signing comes as the Rams deal with injuries to key defensive players, including Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, the latter of whom missed the last game due to a back issue. Kendricks' wife, Ally, expressed her excitement on Instagram shortly after the announcement, posting a graphic of Kendricks in a Rams jersey with the caption, "YEAR 12 BABY!!!!! Staying in LA." Kendricks, a former UCLA player, played three games with the San Francisco 49ers last year after spending eight seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, one season with the Los Angeles Chargers, and one season with the Dallas Cowboys. He was a free agent before joining the Rams. Kendricks earned First-Team All-Pro honors in the 2019 season and may still contribute to the Rams if he is elevated to the active roster.
