Young LBs Howard, Allen trying to grab bigger roles for Rams

[Billy Clyde]

Both were seventh-round picks after playing in the Big 12, with Howard drafted in 2018 after four seasons for TCU and Allen selected this past April after playing three seasons at Texas Tech.

Both have performed well this preseason, having become all the more important to the Rams' depth at inside linebacker after projected starter Micah Kiser sustained a serious pectoral injury in the second preseason game.

Sounding like Travin has a pretty good shot at getting some meaningful PT this year.

Noteboom and Carraway also currently on the Rams roster.

Unfortunately - Carraway was carted off in the 2ndQ of their last game (pre-season 3). He's out for the season with a torn achilles tendon. Sucks because he was starting to flash.

Dakota Allen is pretty good, and that's saying something with the way Tech has played defense in the current era. Seems he's turned his life around as well, which is always a good thing. Time will tell.

FWIW both Howard and Allen projected to make the 53 man by the Athletic's beat writer for the Rams. Schlottman is also projected to make the Broncos final roster.

Thanks for the update, that's good to hear. The one I posted made it sound like it might be either/or. I suspect Travin may turn into one of those undersized guys that has a long career because he's constantly all over the field, like that guy the Saints had a few years ago. Ricky something?
