Rams sign former Lions WR Quintez Cephus to practice squad

Even though the Los Angeles Rams opted not to put Cooper Kupp on injured reserve, they still need help at wide receiver. Kupp is going to miss multiple games and depth is getting thin with Puka Nacua also sidelined.

On Wednesday, the Rams signed wide receiver Quintez Cephus to the practice squad. Cephus was a fifth-round pick by the Lions in 2020 so he played with Matthew Stafford in Detroit.

He’s been limited to only 22 games in the last four seasons and has just 37 career catches for 568 yards, but the Rams will take any help they can get.

Cephus played at Wisconsin and comes in at 6-foot-1 and 208 pounds. The 26-year-old receiver isn’t a burner (4.73 speed) but he’s a physical player with the ball in his hands, which is a trait the Rams like in a receiver.
