Hawkins signed a reserve/future deal with the Rams on Tuesday.
Hawkins joined the Rams' practice squad after short stints with the Titans and Falcons, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2021 out of Louisville. He was elevated to the active roster for Week 14 against the Cardinals, but he never saw the field. With Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson the only running backs under contract next season for the Rams, Hawkins could land a bigger role in 2022.
