Two undrafted players with connections to the Valley were signed to the Los Angeles Rams practice squad on Sunday.
Former Arizona State offensive lineman Cohl Cabral and Chandler High School alum Bryce Perkins were added to the team’s practice squad Sunday after being cut by the Rams in order to reach the 53-man roster threshold over the weekend.
Cabral was the Sun Devils’ main anchor along the offensive line for multiple seasons. After appearing in 11 games as a freshman, the lineman started all 38 games from his sophomore season on.
Cabral allowed just one sack last season. His efforts put him tied for 29th among FBS centers and second in the Pac-12. The sack, however, was the only time Cabral let his man get near the signal caller, not allowing a QB hit all season in 2020.
