Alex Bachman: Parts ways with Rams
Rotowire
The Rams released Bachman on Tuesday, Blaine Grisak of SI.com reports.
Bachman was signed to Los Angeles' active roster Oct. 3, but he logged just three offensive snaps and didn't draw any targets during his five games with the club. He did, however, have a significant role as both a kickoff and punt returner. Jordan Wittington could be asked to take on those responsibilities now that Bachman is no longer on the team.

Rams' Alex Bachman: Inks contract to join active roster
Rotowire
The Rams signed Bachman from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday.
Bachman spent a portion of training camp with the Rams before signing to the practice squad in early September. He's evidently made a positive impression, as Los Angeles has elected to promote him to the active roster despite the fact that he's yet to see gameday action this season. Bachman will assume the roster spot vacated by tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle), who landed on IR on Friday. However, Bachman doesn't stand to see many opportunities on offense with the Rams currently fielding a relatively healthy wideout corps.

Rotowire
Bachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Alex Bachman: Heads back to practice squad
Rotowire
Bachman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.
Bachman was elevated for the third straight game Week 6 and logged 27 of Las Vegas' 63 offensive snaps in a loss against Pittsburgh. The wideout finished with his first three catches of the campaign (on three targets) for 31 yards. A player can be elevated from the practice squad only three times in a campaign, so the Raiders will need to sign Bachman to the 53-man roster if they want him to play again Week 7 versus the Rams. The likelihood of that happening could depend on whether Davante Adams (hamstring) and/or Jakobi Meyers (ankle) are able to return to game action.

Raiders' Alex Bachman: Three catches in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Bachman caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.
Bachman made his first three receptions of the season Sunday after being elevated from the practice squad for a third consecutive game, matching fellow receiver Kristian Wilkerson's 27 offensive snaps behind fill-in starters Tre Tucker and DJ Turner. However, Bachman has exhausted his three permitted practice-squad elevations for the season, so the next time he suits up on game day, he must be a member of the 53-man roster. Regardless, Jakobi Meyers (ankle) appears likely to return from his injury against the Rams in Week 7.
