Justin Hollins went down with a partially torn pec on Sunday, which will cause him to miss 8-10 weeks. The Rams wasted no time adding some depth at outside linebacker to help replace him, claiming Jamir Jones off waivers from the Steelers.
Jones was waived by Pittsburgh this week and Los Angeles saw him as a player worth putting a claim in for. He went undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2020 and entered the NFL with the Texans but was waived about three months after he was signed.
Jones was dominant in the preseason this summer, recording four sacks and an NFL-high six QB hits. He earned a spot on the 53-man roster but the Steelers brought back Derrek Tuszka this week and waived Jones to make room.
In three games this season, Jones played 36 defensive snaps with three tackles and one QB hit.
