Rams' Justin Lawler: Elevated to active roster

The Rams elevated Lawler to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Lawler broke his hand during Week 2 and underwent surgery. His return to the active roster is a good sign, but he will likely be sporting a cast for at least a few weeks. The 26-year-old will likely assume his role as a depth inside linebacker who sees the field mostly during special teams.
