Rams claim former 49ers running back off of waivers

After keeping three running backs on the final roster and announcing that starter Kyren Williams would also return punts, the Los Angeles Rams claimed one player on Wednesday and he should be the fourth running back on the team unless he’s replacing Ronnie Rivers entirely: The Rams claimed Cody Schrader, an undrafted free agent who spent training camp with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Rams also had one player claimed on waivers, as the Patriots picked up tackle Zachary Thomas.
