Jared Pinkney - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Waived by Los Angeles The Rams waived Pinkney on Friday.

Impact Pinkney made four appearances for the Rams in 2022, totaling 42 snaps (three offensive). He has yet to catch a pass across two NFL seasons and will likely be a long shot to make a roster ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Added to active roster for Week 18 The Rams signed Pinkney off the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Pinkney was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season ahead of the Week 17 loss to the Chargers. The 25-year-old has played just one of his 38 snaps on offense across three appearances, so it's likely he'll continue to serve as a core special-teamer while seeing extremely limited opportunities behind top tight ends Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins in Week 18.

Top tight end Tyler Higbee entered the game as questionable due to an elbow injury, but he was ultimately able to suit up, thus limiting Pinkney's usage. Pinkney has yet to catch a pass in two seasons as a pro.
