On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams cut quarterback Brett Rypien.
On Wednesday, they brought him back into the fold, signing him and 15 other players to their practice squad.
Rypien will be available in case the active roster quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford and rookie Stetson Bennett, are unable to play.
The former Boise State quarterback signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2019. In four seasons in Denver, he saw very limited action, appearing in eight games and starting three of them. With the Broncos, he was 80 of 130 for 778 yards, four touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
Rypien signed with the Rams during the offseason but was unable to make the roster before the final cuts. However, he’ll now get another shot.
The Rams are hoping to find the heir apparent for Stafford, who is 35, but it’s unclear if they’ve found that person just yet.
The Rams also signed offensive lineman AJ Arcuri, offensive lineman Logan Bruss, defensive lineman Marquise Copeland, running back Royce Freeman, defensive back Tanner Ingle, receiver Tyler Johnson, tight end Nikola Kalinic, offensive lineman Mike McAllister, defensive back Cameron McCutcheon, offensive lineman Grant Miller, receiver Xavier Smith, outside linebacker Keir Thomas II, linebacker Troy Reeder, and receiver Austin Trammell.
