Overview
- The Rams announced on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, that they signed wide receiver Alex Bachman and listed Mario Williams as waived/injured.
- Bachman originally joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and returns to the team that first gave him an NFL opportunity.
- He spent the past two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, appearing in 19 games and recording five catches for 43 yards, which leaves him as a longshot for the 53-man roster.
- The move reunites Bachman with former Raiders teammate Davante Adams in Los Angeles and gives the Rams a low-cost option for camp depth.
- Waived/injured designations mean Williams can be claimed off waivers or revert to injured reserve if unclaimed, a process that can put his 2026 season in doubt while the club evaluates roster openings.
