Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers is a big one for both teams. The Rams are trying to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start, while the 49ers are trying to move above .500 rather than sinking to 1-2.

The Los Angeles Rams are strategically bolstering their roster as they tackle injury challenges with the addition of new talent.

The Los Angeles Rams signed former Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus to their practice squad on Wednesday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
