53 Justin Lawler LB

Lawler (foot) reverted to injured reserve Sunday after going unclaimed on waivers, per the league's official transactions report.

Lawler appears to be dealing with the same foot issue that caused him to spend the entire 2019 campaign on IR. He hasn't seen game-action since his rookie season in 2018, when he mostly played on special teams across 16 contests.

Lawler (foot) will compete for a depth role in training camp after spending all of 2019 on injured reserve, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Lawson primarily played special teams as a rookie in 2018, when he notched six tackles in 16 games. He'll now get the chance to compete for a similar role during training camp.

Lawler (foot) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Lawler underwent foot surgery in early August and will now be sidelined for at least the first eight games of the season. The 2018 seventh-round pick had six tackles (four solo) while primarily playing special teams as a rookie.

Lawler (foot) underwent foot surgery Tuesday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Lawler played 30 defensive snaps as a rookie in 2018 and was mainly utilized on special teams. The 2018 seventh-round pick projected to remain in a depth role this year, but the Los Angeles linebacker corps does have a few question marks, so Lawler's absence could be felt. The severity of the injury and a return timeline are unknown at this time.
