When the Los Angeles Rams were cutting down their roster to 53 players, they made the decision to keep nine offensive linemen this year compared to 10 last season. Despite both Keagen Trost and Justin Dedich being placed on injured reserve, the team felt they had the strength in the trenches needed to win. Thus, backup A.J. Arcuri did not make the team.
Arcuri, who had been with the team since 2022, was a familiar face on the practice squad, making several appearances during his four years with the team. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the seventh-round pick from Michigan State has a new home, signing with the Ravens' practice squad.

During his time in Los Angeles, Arcuri made 10 total appearances: eight in 2022 and two in 2024. He started one game in his rookie season, featuring on offense and special teams. Arcuri now joins first-year head coach Jesse Minter with the Baltimore Ravens, whose offense is run by Declan Doyle.
Doyle comes from both the Sean Payton and Ben Johnson school of offense, with their high-level concepts being something Arcuri understands from his time under Sean McVay.
