The Los Angeles Rams cut their Week 9 starting quarterback in order to make room on the 53-man roster for veteran signal-caller Carson Wentz on Tuesday. The Rams are hoping to have Matthew Stafford back in Week 11, but they added Wentz as a critical depth piece just in case.
The Los Angeles Rams cut a QB
According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, the Rams cut running back Myles Gaskin and Quarterback Dresser Winn. But the big surprise of the cuts, Brett Rypien, was waived Tuesday.

Rypien started the Rams Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers. Rypien went 13/28 passing for 130 yards and one interception in the Rams 20-3 loss to the Packers. His inability to move the ball made it easy for the Rams to want to add a veteran like Wentz.
However, it’s surprising the Rams wanted Rypien off the 53-man roster altogether. The Rams currently don’t have a quarterback to use as an emergency third option.
