Brennan

Jackson

The 2024 fifth-rounder flashed as a pass rusher this preseason and the Raiders need all the help at EDGE they can get. Jackson should be a part of the rotation after playing just 47 defensive snaps for the Rams in 2024.

Jackson was second in sacks during the preseason, but that wasn’t enough for him to make the initial roster to begin the 2025 campaign. The 24-year-old is a strong candidate for the practice squad if another team doesn’t procure his services.

Robinson missed the first two practices of the week and got in a limited session Wednesday. The 30-year-old is a risky FLEX play for Thursday night’s contest against San Francisco where the reward doesn’t outweigh said risk. The Rams inactives for Week 15 are QB Stetson Bennett, CB Cobie Durant, RB Cody Schrader, OLB Brennan Jackson, OL Dylan McMahon, and OL Warren McClendon Jr.

Kupp’s absence was expected, given his projected multi-week recovery timeline. The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue notes “Jimmy [Garoppolo] back in the backup spot at QB after his two-game suspension.” The Rams are exceptionally short-staffed with Puka Nacua also on injured reserve. They will likely try to eke out a win through a run-heavy offensive attack.
