The Los Angeles Rams are thin along the offensive line, but they could be getting some help entering Week 16. Besides adding two wide receivers to their practice squad on Thursday, the Rams designated Chandler Brewer to return from injured reserve.

• Returned to Practice, Designated for Return T Chandler Brewer
• Signed to Practice Squad WR Lance Lenoir, WR Jerreth Sterns— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) December 22, 2022
Brewer returned to practice on Thursday after being on injured reserve since Week 11. The versatile offensive lineman started for the Rams in Weeks 9 and 10 before suffering a knee injury against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 despite playing in 100 percent of the offensive snaps in that game.
With Brian Allen missing the rest of the season, Coleman Shelton is expected to move to the center position. That would mean that either Brewer or Oday Aboushi will draw the start at right guard on Sunday versus the Denver Broncos.
The two wide receivers the Rams added to their practice squad (likely due to Ben Skowronek being ruled out for the rest of the season) were Lance Lenoir and Jerreth Sterns. Lenoir has logged only eight offensive snaps in his six-year career and he was most recently waived by the Philadelphia Eagles back in August.
Meanwhile, Sterns is an undrafted rookie out of Western Kentucky that spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in training camp before being waived. Sterns recorded 150 receptions for 1,902 yards and 17 touchdowns in his lone season with Western Kentucky in 2021.
