The Los Angeles Rams face questions about their star-studded roster, particularly about their offensive line, but former draft pick AJ Arcuri is no longer an option.
The 6-foot-7, 312-pound tackle is heading to the AFC.
“The #Ravens are signing former #Rams OL AJ Arcuri to their practice squad,” NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported on X on September 1. “Arcuri had been in LA since he was drafted in the seventh round in 2022. Now a fresh start in Baltimore.”
Ravens Swipe Ex-Rams OT AJ Arcuri
LA selected Arcuri in the seventh-round with 261st overall pick of the 2022 draft. He has appeared in 10 games with one start during his Rams tenure.
Now, he heads to the Ravens, who missed the postseason in 2025.
However, Arcuri is going from preparing to protect one MVP in Rams star Matthew Stafford to another in Lamar Jackson. He will have to prove himself to earn more playing time, but it is indeed a new beginning for the big-bodied former Rams trench presence, Arcuri.
Arcuir was not in the Rams’ plans at this point, which underscores his decision to find a new NFL home with the Ravens.
He has not logged a regular-season snap since 2024. He has not started since 2022.
Rams Face OL Depth Questions Amid Alaric Jackson Situation
Not having Arcuri as an option stings for the Rams, who have already lost offensive lineman Justin Dedich and Keagen Trost to injuries.
Moreover, the Rams are awaiting a resolution to the ongoing legal matter for starting left tackle Alaric Jackson stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident with a pregnant woman.
Jackson has largely flown under the radar since the news broke, but he got a key update.
Following multiple suspensions that did not include Jackson or teammate Puka Nacua, , ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on X on August 30 that “other matters still remain under the league’s review” name-dropping Jackson and Nacua.
The outcome of a decision on Jackson could prove just how much the Rams need improved depth, be it Arcuri or–now that he is off the market–someone else.
