The Los Angeles Rams moved to reinforce their depleted wide receiver group by elevating Brennan Presley from the practice squad to the active roster while adding Tyler Scott to the practice squad, via the NFL transaction wire.

These corresponding transactions arrived as the team placed star receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve, joining Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington on the sideline and leaving the position unusually thin ahead of upcoming games.

Presley, a 24-year-old undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State, originally joined the Rams following the 2025 draft.

After failing to secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster, he spent the bulk of his rookie year on the practice squad and appeared in just one regular-season game.

Los Angeles later brought him back on a futures deal, only for him to return to the practice squad after this year’s preseason cuts.

At 5-foot-8 and 174 pounds, Presley built a productive college résumé that included more than 300 receptions and over 3,300 receiving yards while also contributing as a return specialist.

His promotion gives the Rams an immediate body on the active roster who can help on special teams and potentially offer slot-receiver depth while the team manages multiple absences.

Scott’s addition brings a more experienced, if still limited, option back into the organization. The 25-year-old Cincinnati product was a fourth-round selection by the Chicago Bears in 2023.

Over two seasons in Chicago, he recorded 18 receptions for 173 yards and also handled kick-return duties. After being waived by the Bears, Scott bounced through practice squads with the Colts, Seahawks, and Rams before a brief stint with the Raiders.

He re-signed with Los Angeles on a futures contract earlier this year, only to be released again during August roster cutdowns after a modest preseason showing.

His return to the Rams’ practice squad provides versatile depth as both a receiver and returner at a time when injuries have forced the coaching staff to reshuffle the depth chart.

Together the moves illustrate the Rams’ ongoing effort to maintain functional depth at a position that has been hit hard.

With Nacua expected to miss an extended stretch, Presley’s elevation fills a roster spot right away while Scott remains available for further elevation if additional injuries or performance needs arise.

Neither player is expected to replace the production of the sidelined starters, yet both represent familiar, low-cost options that allow the team to keep searching for workable solutions until healthier bodies return.

Los Angeles will face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
