“Getting a bigger-body guy that can run for special teams,” Staley said. Because of COVID-19 protocols, Rivers cannot practice until Saturday and will not play against the 49ers, McVay said.īut the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Rivers eventually could contribute as a pass rusher and on special teams, Staley said. Rivers, a third-round draft pick in 2017, had 1½ sacks in eight games this season before the Patriots waived him. The defense added depth this week when the Rams claimed end Derek Rivers off waivers from New England. “That's certainly the ultimate challenge, is against one of the great two-minute quarterbacks to ever play, and I felt that our guys were composed and I felt like we finished the game playing our best ball.” “I felt like we stayed steady and we were able to close the game out as you would hope to against a guy like that,” Staley said of Brady, a six-time Super Bowl champion.

Rookie safety Jordan Fuller intercepted two passes by Tom Brady, including one in the final minutes to seal the victory in Tampa, Fla. In their 27-24 victory over the Buccaneers, the Rams gave up 251 yards. They are fifth in rushing defense (91.3 yards per game) and second in scoring defense (19.2 points per game) and passing defense (200.6 yards per game). The Rams are limiting opponents to an NFL-low 291.9 yards per game. Reeder will start alongside inside linebacker Kenny Young in defensive coordinator Brandon Staley’s hybrid 3-4 scheme. Expect him to step in and do a great job for us this week as well.” I thought last year, he definitely demonstrated as a rookie it wasn't too big for him where he started a handful of games at linebacker and played a significant amount of snaps. “He’s really done a great job of preparing himself for when his opportunities do come up. “I do have a lot of confidence in Troy to step in and seamlessly handle the job,” McVay said Wednesday, when Kiser’s status was still to be determined. Reeder recorded a team-best 11 tackles and had three sacks in a 30-10 victory. He thrived earlier this season when he started in place of Kiser, who sat out at Washington on Oct.

Reeder, an undrafted free agent in 2019, started eight games as a rookie. “It was something that you even debate whether or not you wanted to do it because it’s kind of right in that fringe area.” “The hope is that it’s just those three games,” McVay said during a videoconference after practice.
