That meant that 2019 undrafted free agent rookie Troy Reeder would see action in his first NFL season. ILB Bryce Hager, the next man up, was injured early in the season. Troy Reeder was forced onto the field as the team’s starter in 2019 after the LA Rams lost intended starting inside linebacker Micah Kiser for the season. Now, before you begin to wonder why the lone backup from the 2020 season is the chosen topic, let me elaborate. The only inside linebacker on the bench? Troy Reeder. In response, the Rams promoted Kenny Young to line up next to Micah Kiser. Before the season started, Howard suffered a season-ending injury.

Of course, the team’s plan didn’t exactly withstand the test of time.

Of course, that was how the team planned the depth chart to remain.

The LA Rams had additional inside linebackers Derrick Moncrief and Christian Rozeboom stashed on the practice squad in case of emergency. The LA Rams inside linebacker depth chart for the 2020 NFL season was constructed thusly: Starting inside linebackers Micah Kiser and Travin Howard, backup Kenny Young, and finally reserve Troy Reeder.
