The Los Angeles Rams have promoted tight end Kendall Blanton to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, clearing up the situation at the position a little bit more as we approach the midpoint of the season. The Rams placed Johnny Mundt in season-ending IR last week and third-string backup Brycen Hopkins has been a healthy scratch in every game.
This makes it clear that Sean McVay prefers Blanton over Hopkins and Jacob Harris at this time. Harris is active for every game but plays exclusively on special teams and only really started learning the tight end position in 2021.
