After the Los Angeles Rams cornerback room was threatened by early-training camp injuries to Darious Williams and Derion Kendrick, the L.A. braintrust moved quickly and brought in free agent Jerry Jacobs to help stem the tide.
After three seasons with the Detroit Lions, Jacobs was not tendered a 2024 Restricted Free Agent contract. Although he had previous offseason visits with the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers, the flirtations did not produce a deal. The Rams were suddenly dealing with two injured corners and a third worry, the unsure status of Tre’Davious White’s return to form from major injury.
