Rams Boost Roster Ahead of Playoff Clash

The Los Angeles Rams have activated Nick Hampton and Tanner Ingle from their practice squad, bolstering their special teams and adding depth to the outside linebacker position. These moves provide defensive coordinator Chris Shula with more rotation options for the pass rush and help manage player fatigue.

Conversely, the Carolina Panthers have activated Pro Bowl guard Robert Hunt off injured reserve. Hunt, who has been sidelined since week two, is a significant addition to their offensive line and presents a new challenge for the Rams' interior defense.

Adding to the Rams' defensive strength, Quentin Lake is returning to the lineup. Head coach Sean McVay highlighted Lake's versatility, physicality, and leadership as vital for the team's run defense and overall performance, especially in setting edges and run support.
