Kalinic reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday. Kalinic played 14 snaps on special teams and downed a punt during Sunday's win over the Rams. This was the second straight game the 27-year-old was elevated, and he could play again next week versus the Bears if Davis Allen (back) is unable to make his return.
Kalinic was elevated to the Rams' active roster Saturday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Kalinic was elevated for Week 2 versus the Cardinals, against whom he played 14 snaps on special teams. If active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Kalinic would likely reprise the same role on special teams while also providing depth at tight end after Davis Allen was ruled out for Week 3 due to a back injury.
Kalinic reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Kalinic played 14 snaps during Sunday's 41-10 loss at Arizona, all on special teams. Whether he gets called back up for Week 3 action might depend on the availability of Davis Allen (back).
The Rams elevated Kalinic from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Kalinic joined the Rams' practice squad after he was unable to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. With Davis Allen (back) ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona, Kalinic is set to serve as the No.3 tight end behind Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long.
Kalinic signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports. After failing to make the Rams' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Kalinic has found a spot on Los Angeles' practice squad. The 27-year-old tight end last appeared in a regular-season game in 2022 with the Colts, recording no stats while playing 87 total snaps across seven contests.
Kalinic was waived by the Rams on Tuesday. The tight end signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January after spending time on its practice squad last season. Kalinic last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with the Colts, when he played on 45 offensive snaps but did not catch a pass.
