J.J. Koski - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes to waivers with injury The Rams waived Koski (shoulder) with an injury designation Saturday.

Impact Koski will revert to Los Angeles' injured reserve list unless another team claims him during the current waiver period. He suffered a shoulder injury during a team scrimmage Tuesday, which is presumably the reason for the move. His absence might shorten the odds that Brandon Powell or Jacob Harris eventually makes the Rams' initial 53-man roster.

Managing shoulder injury Koski hurt his shoulder during Tuesday's scrimmage, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Impact The severity of Koski's injury is unclear, but head coach Sean McVay hasn't expressed too much concern about it. The 6-foot-1 receiver failed to haul in his only target during the team's preseason opener against the Chargers, and he will continue competing for a roster spot with fellow pass catchers Brandon Powell (knee) and Jacob Harris (groin), among others. Koski originally signed with the Rams in April of 2020 as an undrafted free agent but has yet to play an offensive snap in the regular season.

Earns future deal Koski signed a reserve/future deal with the Rams on Tuesday.

Impact Koski originally joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Cal Poly in 2020. The 25-year-old was with the active roster for five games this season, during which he handled punt and kick returns, but he never played a snap on offense. Koski will now focus on earning more opportunities next season.

Clear of hamstring injury Koski (hamstring) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

Sidelined Sunday Koski is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers with a hamstring injury.

Impact It's been a tough day for Koski as he lost a key fumble on a return earlier in the game and now is hurt. Cooper Kupp hasn't handled his usual punt return duties but may be forced to take them over again if Koski can't return. Sony Michel has been handling kickoffs.
