Rams punter Ethan Evans came down with an illness this week and was unable to practice on Thursday or Friday. The Rams have already ruled him out for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, so they’ll have a new punter and holder for this week.
They signed Ryan Sanborn to the practice squad on Thursday and then added Ty Zentner on Friday, but only one of them was elevated for Week 9. The Rams are going with Zentner, who’s played nine games in his career (all in 2023) and averaged 44.9 yards per punt.
In addition to Zentner, the Rams also promoted linebacker Elias Neal from the practice squad for this weekend, so he’ll provide depth behind Christian Rozeboom, Omar Speights and Jake Hummel.
