The Rams have agreed to trade Skowronek, who was slated to be waived Thursday, to the Texans, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Los Angeles informed Skowronek that he would hit waivers Thursday, but the Texans came calling before the transaction could become official. A 2021 seventh-round pick, Skowronek was mostly limited to special teams in 2023, but he racked up 376 receiving yards on 39 back in 2022, while demonstrating the versatility to line up across multiple formations. Now, Skowronek will face the challenge of competing with the likes of Robert Woods, John Metchie and Noah Brown (shoulder) for a depth role in Houston's crowded wide receiver corps.
The Rams are slated to waive Skowronek, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Skowronek, a 2021 seventh-round pick, finished his third season with the Rams with a career-low 66 receiving yards across 17 appearances, while mostly contributing on special teams. The soon-to-be 27-year-old is versatile enough to line up in a variety of roles on offense, so it's a bit of a surprise to see him be cut before training camp. He figures to resurface in a depth role elsewhere in the league.
Skowronek was a limited participant in practice all week after sustaining a hip pointer injury in Week 11 against the Seahawks. He's contributed mostly on special teams this season and has three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown in 10 games.
A week removed from his first career receiving touchdown, Skowronek saw an uptick in usage with 15 snaps on offense, tripling his total from last week. The added usage didn't translate on the stat sheet, as the third-year veteran had just one touch on offense while committing a hold on a punt return that pushed the Rams back to their own 10-yard line. The Rams have a bye in Week 10 before hosting the Seahawks in Week 11, and Skowronek will almost assuredly continue to function as a depth piece for the Rams barring a rash of injuries to the players ahead of him in the pecking order.
Despite playing just five snaps on offense in the blowout loss to the Cowboys, Skowronek was able to haul in his first NFL receiving touchdown after breaking free through the middle of the Cowboys' secondary. The catch was just Skowronek's third on the year, and despite the score, he's still just a depth piece behind Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell while making his impact felt primarily on special teams this season.
