Rams add another veteran to defensive line

The Los Angeles Rams got bigger on Wednesday, signing free agent defensive tackle Carlos Watkins to add size and experience to their defensive line. Watkins, a fourth round pick out of Clemson in 2017, appeared in two games with the Arizona Cardinals last season, after spending the previous two with the Cowboys and his first four career seasons with the Houston Texans.

Watkins tore his biceps in Week 2 of last season.

While most August signings have little consequence for the regular season, Watkins was set to have a pretty big role on the Cardinals prior to his injury and had a lot of playing time with the Cowboys from 2021-2022.
