My Guess:
RB: Kyren, Corum, Rivers, Connors.
WR: keep 7 with Tutu
TE: Davis Allen to IR4, keep 4
OL: keep 9: Quess, Dedich, Limmer, Trost to IR4
Offense 27
ED: Garrett, Agent0, Stewart, DesJuan, Bailey
DL: Donald, Ford, Kobe, Fiske, Davis.
LB; obvious 4
DB: McDuff, Watson, Forbes, Wallace, Q, Curl, Kitchens, McCullough, Lampkin
Defense 23
Close but PS: Redman, Presley, McMahon, Murch, Hamilton, Keenan, Neal.

Glad Hunter is gone. He was my least favorite player. No vision, no wiggle, never impressed McVay.
Tutu is quality insurance in exchange.

I really hope Connors makes the team, still feel they might only keep 3 RB's, but I am hoping they keep him because I will be shocked if he clears waivers as teams like the Seahawks and Eagles love to poach the Rams.
With Hunter getting traded I'd like to see them cut Rivers and keep Connors and then add Rivers to practice squad for time being until rosters sort themselves out and AD makes his decision. Then if they need to call up Rivers they can make a decision at that point. Seems like Bailey is now a lock which is great... definitely should be.
Practice squad I feel like Lampkin, Peterson, Neal, and Pressley deserve slots.

They are not cutting Ronnie Rivers. McVay went on a tirade about how much he trusts Rivers being in the right place regardless of what unit he is assigned to. Plus he trusts Rivers to run the right routes and to pass block properly too. Now I understand about trust, but Rivers is limited athletically and I am quite sure they threw a pass to Rivers against Seattle in the Championship game and he came up short after catching the pass because he did not have the speed or eluisveness to make the player miss.

Some thoughts
Offence :
RB- Dean Conners is a pass catching gold prized nugget.....I bet that he can build himself to be what ST'mer Rivers has been but with the upside as a punt or Kick returner & as a bonified 3rd down back weapon ...Rivers is not in the same zip code as Conners. Rivers cemented in on the initial 53 MR will be very costly in the long run.
A very larger upcoming major problem in 6 months is the OL UFA'cy with our 4 starters. NOW is the time to prepare for that serious drama & take care of it early......having full (stuffed) larger other units i.e. ILB/ WR's/TE/ IDL/ RB & safety rooms does not address the #1 OL problem. Good to very good starting OL'ers are in super high demand in FA'cy & the cost of resigning these 5 ( this number includes the Rams #6 OL'er Quessenbeey) top Ram UFA's OL'ers will empty bare our 2027 available Salary cap funds.
Depending on drafted rookies as the main OL problem fixer will be a disaster, not as critical in the other above 6 other listed team rooms. On the OL, Nine is bare minimum 10 OL'ers on this initial MR53 helps Snead big time in FA'cy next season.
If Swing OG Limmer/ Swing OT/OG Blaske & OC McMahon are cut they will be claimed away....count on it. These 3 Ram OL'ers are under ultra low cost contracts through 2028 season.
On defense:
Shula does not stay in a standard base often we see many downs with 2 DL'ers/ 1 ILB/ 2 SAF's. The normal is 3 to 4 corners plus a star DB along with an abundance of pass rushers on most downs.
Conclusion: go fat on pass rushers OL'ers & CB's on this Sunday's initial MR53. 31 other teams are waiting to claim ED's-Wesley Bailey & Darryl Peterson III & CB's-Cam Lamkin, AZ Hamilton & Nyzier Fourqurean.

The Rams cut him last year. They know they are the only team that values him and he will not be picked. They will cut him and keep Connors. 3 RBs.
I heard from my brother's sister's friend that Sneed was at Baskin Robins last night. Plus, he could care less what we think and will continue to do things his way. ~ @Allen2McVay
Have to admit I have not been to a Baskin Robbins since the Ronald Wilson Reagan administration.
McMahon didn't play last night so thinking he might have made the team unless he was hurt. Might be some surprises on the OL depth chart.
Didn't realize Anderson only played 8 snaps. Maybe he will be the 5th safety. Definitely a STs guy who should help.
Baily played 2 snaps. Bodes well for him.
Limmer & McMahon sat. Could indicate they made it or will be traded.
Nervous about Daniels. Hope he sticks.

Oh yeah I am sure of that.....veteran Blake Nance who can swing in all directions on this OL & OG Bill Murray have been a couple of surprises. Bowles just concluded his 2nd TC and preseason with the Rams. Wyatt Bowles is another Swing OG/OC who might be a bargain lost cost reserve until 2029.
If Both well travelled Blake Hance & Bill Murray do make the MR53 its only for this season & then UFA'cy. Hance Swing OT position has more importance than Murray's.
If our 3 OL coaches Wendell, Allen & Kromer really like the overall body of work that Dylan McMahon has put in the last 2 yrs they could go with McMahon on the MR53 OC reserve & just keep Austin Dedich as top swing OG again this season. Dedich's contract ends in 6 months.
McMahon has a eco contract too and could be here till 2029. Never seen anything like it with these Kevin Demoff future contracts he is so far ahead of the rest rest of the NFL in the game IMO.
That would hurt Beaux Limmer chances ...OG/OC Limmer was the best preforming OL in the first preseason game. Limmer dressed 5 times last season.
Connor shows impressive balance and a great stiff arm. Rams will lose him if they cut him. He has to be on the roster.
Murch will be cut.
Are Lampkin and Hamilton a coin flip for the roster?
Bailey is in.
I do like Waters. Hope he makes the PS
I haven't heard much about his recovery. Have you or anyone else?
Tost goes IR.
Who else goes on IR?

Ram65 this is all I could find on TW Davis Allen & this was on Monday this week.
Allen logged a few practices at the start of camp at LMU before being sidelined by his quad injury.
"He is making really good progress," McVay said. "It is good to be able to get him back out there in an individual setting. I haven't talked to him about how he's feeling, but obviously like I've told you guys, he's going to be a huge part of what we're doing. To be able to have him back out there for the different things that he can do for us, really both offensively and in (special) teams, is going to be key and critical."
Injury Updates: OL Justin Dedich (hand) and TE Davis Allen (quad) return to practice; WR Puka Nacua (psoas) and DE Myles Garrett (knee) still non-participants
Rams head coach Sean McVay provides injury updates on offensive lineman Justin Dedich and tight end Davis Allen.
