The Los Angeles Rams have made roster changes, releasing rookie draft pick Tim Keenan III and signing former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jamie French. This move was confirmed by the team on X on September 3, where they announced both the signing of French and the termination of Keenan from the practice squad.

Keenan, who was selected in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, has experienced a rapid decline from being a potential candidate for the 53-man roster to being waived and now entering free agency.

Analysts had mixed views on his capabilities, with some noting his instinctual play and ability to clog run lanes, while others expressed concerns about his athleticism and effectiveness at the professional level.

Jamie French, who won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks in 2025, will now take Keenan's place on the Rams' roster. The decision to sign French reflects the Rams' strategy to enhance their defensive lineup following the departure of Keenan.

Further details regarding the implications of these roster changes have not yet been provided.
