Nose tackle Mike Purcell enters his fifth season in the NFL and his first with the Rams. Purcell went undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft and signed with the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. The 49ers promoted Purcelll to the active roster late in the 2013 season and remained with the team through the 2016 season. San Francsico released him in 2017, and the Rams followed up by claiming him off waivers. Purcell has started in eight games over the past two years and compiled 42 total tackles on his career. He provides the Rams with valuable experience in a 3-4 defense as the team transitions into their new system.
