By end of week we’ll make decision.” (Cam Inman)

Roger McCreary
Rams HC Sean McVay spoke about acquiring CB Roger McCreary via trade and how he’ll work to integrate him into the team’s defense.
“We’re really just excited to get him comfortable with his teammates and where to go,” McVay said, via Rams Wire. “I was just talking to him a little bit before the special teams walk-through. We’re excited to be able to have him and to continue to get to know him. I think more than anything, [we want to] put our arm around him and try to be able to get him up to speed as quickly as possible with the expectation that he’ll help in some form or fashion this week.”
