The Los Angeles Rams have made significant roster changes as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season, announcing the waiver of defensive tackle Jaxson Moi on Sunday. This decision comes as the Rams trimmed their roster down to the mandated 53 players following the conclusion of the preseason.
Jaxson Moi, who joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent in April after the NFL Draft, had a collegiate career that included stints at both Stanford and the University of Tennessee. During his time at Tennessee from 2024 to 2025, Moi participated in 22 games, where he amassed 27 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, two pass deflections, and one forced fumble. His performance showcased his potential as a versatile defensive player.
Before his time with the Volunteers, Moi played at Stanford from 2022 to 2023, where he recorded 37 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and three pass deflections over 24 games. His journey through college football began at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, California, where he developed his skills before making the transition to the collegiate level.
In addition to Moi, the Rams also waived fellow defensive tackles Tim Keenan from Alabama and Bill Norton from Texas as part of their roster adjustments. These moves reflect the team's strategic decisions as they finalize their lineup ahead of the regular season.
The Rams are set to kick off their NFL regular season on September 10, where they will face the San Francisco 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia. This matchup not only marks the beginning of the season for both teams but also represents the NFL's continued efforts to expand its reach internationally.
As the Rams move forward without Moi, they will look to solidify their defensive line with the players who remain. The preseason has provided teams with valuable insights into player performance, and the Rams will be keen to leverage this knowledge as they embark on their quest for success in the 2023 NFL season.
