Rams' Russ Yeast: May remain without starting role
Russ Yeast has seen work at safety and slot corner during training camp but isn't the favorite to land either role, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.Yeast opened the 2023 campaign as a starter at safety for the Los Angeles Rams but failed to keep the job after the team's Week 10 bye. With Jordan Fuller now in Carolina, he was expected to have a chance to return to the top of the depth chart, but the emergence of Quentin Lake and the signing of Kamren Curl will likely relegate Yates to a backup role, while Cobie Durant is expected to earn top slot duties.

Rams' Russ Yeast: Loses starting role mid-season
Russ Yeast recorded 61 tackles (37 solo) and five passes defended during the 2023 regular season over 17 games played.Yeast was relegated mostly to special teams in 2022, but he had a strong training camp and earned a role as a starting safety to begin 2023. Despite beginning the year as a starter, Yeast reverted to a backup behind Jordan Fuller and Quentin Lake after a Week 10 bye, failing to eclipse a 45 percent snap share in all but two games the rest of the way. Fuller is an unrestricted free agent after the season, so Yeast, who still has two years left on his rookie deal, may get another chance to earn a role as a starter if Fuller doesn't return.
