The Los Angeles Rams announced Friday that OLB Jachai Polite has cleared waivers and been re-signed to their practice squad.
Here’s the Rams updated practice squad:
- TE Kendall Blanton
- DT Marquise Copeland
- DB Donte Deayon
- G Jamil Demby
- DT Michael Hoecht
- WR J.J. Koski
- DB Tyrique McGhee
- LB Derrick Moncrief
- QB Bryce Perkins
- LB Christian Rozeboom
- DE Jonah Williams
- DB J.R. Reed
- G Jeremiah Kolone
- DT Eric Banks
- K Austin MacGinnis
- DB Jake Gervase
- OLB Jachai Polite
Polite, 22, was selected in the third round out of Florida by the Jets in 2019. Polite struggled during the pre-draft process, which led to him falling to the third round, even though he was considered to be one of the top edge rusher prospects.
He signed a four-year, $4,218,191 contract that includes a $1,118,194 signing bonus with the Jets. However, New York waived Polite coming out of the preseason and he later signed on to the Seahawks’ practice squad. Seattle released him after a few weeks and he caught on with the Rams.
In 2020, Polite has appeared in 11 games for the Rams and recorded three total tackles and one sack.
