LA Rams Roster Moves: • Signed from Practice Squad to Active Roster WR Alex Bachman, DE Larrell Murchison • Reserve / In Via @RamsNFL on X

What happened: Los Angeles promoted wide receiver Alex Bachman and defensive end Larrell Murchison from the practice squad to the active roster and moved tight end Terrance Ferguson to injured reserve. Bachman and Murchison had both joined the club on Oct. 2 before this quick move onto the 53-man roster.

Why it matters: That gives the Rams extra depth at receiver and on the defensive line while Ferguson comes off the active list. Ferguson had carved out a role in 2025, so the move reaches beyond a procedural shuffle at the back of the roster.

By the numbers: Bachman returned 22 punts for 124 yards in 13 games with the Raiders in 2025. Murchison had 8 tackles and 2 sacks in 16 games for the Rams in 2025. Ferguson caught 11 passes for 231 yards and 3 touchdowns in 14 games in 2025.

What to watch: The next active-list decisions will show whether Bachman or Murchison is needed immediately this week. Ferguson's absence now shifts the Rams' tight end depth chart heading into the next injury report.
