Rams elevate 2 players before playoff game
The Rams activated two players from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's divisional round matchup against the Chicago Baers, bringing back safety Tanner Ingle and linebacker Elias Neal for reinforcements. Ingle was called up before last week's wild card game against the Panthers, drawing ire from many fans for his role in a blocked punt against Ethan Evans.

Ingle is a former undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State who has only appeared in four career games, including last week. He has stood out in preseason games for the Rams before.
Neal is another former undrafted player who has made the practice squad, appearing in eight games since 2024, but only twice this season. The former Marshall linebacker has not made a career tackle yet. Ingle has made three tackles.
The moves may not have a huge consequence on Sunday, but as Ingle proved last week you never know when a player is going to stand out. Or for what reason.
