This DL will undergo some changes.......PS-16 DT Larrell Murchison has been called up 3 times now... The Rams can elevate the same practice-squad player for up to 3 games in a season. After that, to use him again, the team must sign him to its 53-player roster.
With the long-term injuries to both Ford & Turner, PS-16 Murchison has proven to be the better answer to fill those game-day snaps than MR53 DE Desjuan Johnson. After those 2 DL injuries, Johnson's snaps dropped dramatically to only 6 snaps in the last 2 games.
Now Myles Garrett will soon enter the picture on this DL. So there are some changes to be made here. Will Shula want MG to be utilized to assist & help with those 2 lost interior DL'ers starters, or be more OLB'er to force Josaiah Stewart to fewer snaps? Will OLB'er Darryl Peterson III, who has had increases in snaps fact is, he got 15 snaps last week- be released from the MR53?

If they like Peterson, maybe they could trade Des Johnson for a bag of balls. Some beat up team could use him.
With him being a FA this year, they likley keep Peterson over him.

Desjuan Johnson is not having a good season. He has been active & suited up for all the games .....DJ has no tackles in his 69 snaps ..... that's just awful. All he has is assists. DJ really does not have any trade value. He would best be suited in a 43 DL as a backup DE. As you stated, he will be a UFA in a few months anyway. IMO His best value is here on the PS16.
Rams have a trio of healthy PS-16 run stuffers (Bill Norton, Jalen Hunt & Jaxson Moi) for the middle of Shula's DL if either Ty Hamilton or Tyler Davis go down.
If MG returns to very good health, he is going to be used like AD in that LOS, beefing up the pass rush inside. I expect Shula to keep Young/ Stewart/ Bailey & Peterson active, working the edges.
I can't see current edge rusher Stewart or Young being moved into non-starting roles just cuz MG arrives active. Plus, you sure don't pay that unbelievable price in assets & salary for MG to be a non-starter.
DJ shouldn't moved positions from last year. I'm not sure why the Rams moved him around because last year he actually looked like a promising young player. Now he looks lost.

As far as I know, the Rams have already said that Garrett will play on the edge. He's not an IDL.
Also, we have evidence of that plan since he did play 40 snaps in game 1.
He played 18 snaps at LOLB, 20 snaps at ROLB, and 2 snaps on the DL.
With the Browns, who run a 4/3, he's listed primarily as the right edge defender. I believe that's something in between a traditional 4/3 end and a 3/4 edge.
Same here. In fact, it would not surprise me if they wait till after the bye. We're playing a Washington team that may be more hobbled that we are. Then a team that just traded their starting quarterback the following week.
Everything I'm reading indicates he's heading toward playing this week.
Why would they start him in practice this week if they were waiting three weeks to play him? That doesn't add up to me.
Separately.. the timing is really helpful with Watson out. Can't use as much press coverage.. so getting after QB will be even more important.
This is gonna be fun to watch.

Man, I miss watching the Rams throw that goof around.Mr. Unlimited
Because of the way the 21-day return window works.
