Dean Connors isn’t going anywhere. The Los Angeles Rams waived the undrafted rookie running back on Sunday, but after clearing waivers the next day, he’s returning to Woodland Hills.
According to Mike Garafolo, the Rams are signing Connors to their practice squad. He’s their first reported practice squad signing of the day, filling one of the 16 spots that are available.
Connors, like every other player cut by the Rams on Sunday, cleared waivers on Monday. He was a popular player among fans after catching three touchdown passes in the preseason, including two in the opener against the Chiefs.
He forced seven missed tackles as a runner and three more as a receiver this preseason, per PFF, so he showed off his elusiveness in the open field.
The Rams opted to go with just three running backs on their initial 53-man roster, cutting Connors after also trading Jarquez Hunter away.
