The Los Angeles Rams were on the hunt for cornerback hunt recently with Derion Kendrick struggling. According to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, the Rams attempted to claim rookie cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks. However, the Green Bay Packers were one spot higher in the waiver order so they were awarded Kelly.
The Seahawks recently waived Kelly, which was his second time being cut this year despite being a fifth-round rookie. He was drafted 157th overall by the Ravens out of Stanford but he was waived in late August and claimed the next day by the Seahawks.
Per sources:
– The #Patriots claimed RB Jamycal Hasty off waivers from JAX. The #Texans and #Colts also put in a claim. (NE had higher priority)
– The #Packers claimed DB Kyu Blu Kelly from SEA. The #Rams also put in a claim. (GB had higher priority)
– The #Jets claimed OT…

He was active for five games in Seattle but only played special teams. He did not play a snap on defense.
Los Angeles gave Duke Shelley more snaps in recent weeks and has also played Quentin Lake in the slot, as well. Kendrick has struggled lately so the Rams could be looking for help at that position. Unfortunately, the Packers beat them to the punch with Kelly.
