What happened: Dean Connors is returning to the Los Angeles Rams on the practice squad, Mike Garafolo reported. The running back went unclaimed after being waived during roster cuts.

Why it matters: The move keeps Connors in Sean McVay's system as Los Angeles prepares for the 2026 season. He remains available for elevation if the Rams need backfield depth.

By the numbers: Connors scored three touchdowns during the preseason.

What to watch: Connors will begin work with the Rams' practice squad ahead of the regular-season opener.
