One of the more surprising moves during final cuts for the Rams was the decision to waive linebacker Dakota Allen. The 2019 seventh-round pick was playing well in the preseason and with Los Angeles having a hole at inside linebacker, he was viewed as a good depth player.
After just over a month with the Raiders, Allen is back with the Rams. The team announced he has been signed to the practice squad less than a week after the Raiders waived him.
The Raiders signed Allen off the Rams’ practice squad back in late September and he made his debut a few weeks against the Bears. After Oakland re-signed Brandon Marshall, however, Allen was waived on Oct. 30.
Allen, the 251st overall pick in the 2019 draft, played his college ball at Texas A&M. He was dismissed from the team and expelled from the university after his redshirt freshman season, which is how he landed at East Mississippi Community College and on the show “Last Chance U.”
He returned to Texas A&M after a year at EMCC and was a captain in 2018 for the Red Raiders.
