Yeah, that and probably the Seattle "intel" for upcoming matchup.
Ahkello is BACK, BA-BY!!!
Same reason we brought Shelton back.
He knows the system and McVay cares more about that than what he did previously.

McVay when he heard Kendrick was available....

Don't take this the wrong way bro as its obviously directed at whoever thought it was good to sign him, but fuck that familiarity stuff. This is like taking that crazy psycho girlfriend back that everyone knows is no good for you but you lol.... Aw man I hope this guy never sees the playing field.

I don't think his problem was bad tackling when he played for us.
His problem was his coverage skills were a bit TOO good, meaning he was draped all over the WR before the ball ever got there.
At least he can cover, but I assume the over aggressiveness part could have been fixed with coaching.

Kendrick was in the DOG house in Seattle and it all came to a head when he screwed up at gunner in last game I think. He knows our system and has a number of snaps at nickel/star in this offense even though most of his work is at field (some boundary CB too I think).
Will be interesting who plays at nickel right now with him and Spoon back. Think it's Josh Wallace till he loses it but I suspect we see Kendrick there as a possibility. Durant has played nickel some but he's doing so well playing field I don't think you want to move him (Darius though has done nicely there too this year).
These are the best problems to have with our starter out at least.

Not sure what happened in Seattle, but Kendrick is giving up 2.8 yards per target and a 16.7 QB rating when targeted this year.
I already told you who thought it was a good idea. He's told us this before on multiple signings of guys coming back to the Rams especially Shelton in the off season. It's literally the main reason McVay gave for signing him. This isn't anything new.
I don't think so.
Don't believe Witherspoon is quite back just yet.
He was only designated-to-return.
That opens a 21-day window for the Rams to activate him.
From everything I have read, and heard from McVay's press conferences, Witherspoon is still a couple weeks away from playing on Sunday.
That's true but just one more injury; and we will probably see Kendrick fucking-up once again.
There are only seven healthy DBs ahead of him right now; and all seven figure to play. Same 7 as vs. Tampa.
Forbes, Durant and Williams rotating at outside cornerback.
Curl and Kinchens at safety.
Wallace filling-in for Lake at the STAR position (stupid name).
McCollough as a nickel-DB/LB ... probably the back-up safety.
Any one of those guys goes down, and it's "Come on Down Derion!" ... guessing he plays Special Teams Sunday

I know you said it but I quoted that way since I highly doubt McVay was alone in this so not entirely sure who else thought this like Shula, Snead, etc since I'm sure not every decision involves every single person on the staff or FO. I get it's not new to have a signing where the knee jerk reaction is a nut kick lol...... hopefully he's just depth piece and nothing more. Also I just like posting a knee jerk reaction all the time cuz I'm just special that way hahaha
I'm very sure at least Shula is involved in it but who has taught Shula about being a coach the most? He's learned from McVay and he knows DK.
I honestly think if not for the injuries he wouldn't be a Ram that's why I mentioned in the other thread when Witherspoon comes back unless there's another injury DK might be gone.
He is slow. So he was always chasing and running over the receiver before the ball arrived. Plus he is a hot head like Ramsey without the talent.
That doesn't supersede the hate.
The real news was Vennet to the active and Akhello designated to return, but who cares about that? Oy vey
