Former Rams Pro Bowler Rejoins Los Angeles After Four Years
The Los Angeles Rams recently made a roster change, marking a significant shift in their lineup after a period of stability. On Tuesday, the team announced the release of offensive lineman Wyatt Bowles and the signing of long snapper Jake McQuaide.
Roster Changes for the Rams
Wyatt Bowles, a 25-year-old lineman, had been part of the Rams’ practice squad. He played college football at Utah State from 2018 to 2024, participating in 52 games and starting in 20. After going undrafted, he joined the Rams but was unable to secure a spot on the main roster during training camp.
Jake McQuaide returns to the Rams at the age of 37. A familiar figure, he began his career with the Rams as an undrafted rookie in 2011 after playing for Ohio State. Over his ten seasons with Los Angeles, he earned two Pro Bowl selections.
McQuaide’s Journey
After his tenure with the Rams, McQuaide played for several teams:
- Dallas Cowboys (2021-2022)
- Detroit Lions (2023)
- Chicago Bears (2024)
- Minnesota Vikings (2024)
- Miami Dolphins (2024)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (2025)
The Rams are slowly reshaping their roster as they aim for a successful season. The addition of McQuaide is expected to stabilize their special teams following his decade-long experience with the franchise.
Los Angeles is focused on continuing their performance and adjusting the lineup as required. Fans can expect more developments as the season progresses and the team evaluates their roster options.
