The promotion of Brooks and Copeland will provide depth along the interior of the defensive line and the secondary, two positions that the Rams are relatively thin at. Rams coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that the expectation for Williams was for him to return this weekend against the Titans. Williams has practiced all week, showing signs that he should be active for the first time in three weeks after recovering from an ankle injury that sidelined him. 6: The Rams have activated cornerback Darious Williams off injured reserve, while also activating defensive back Antoine Brooks and defensive tackle Marquise Copeland up from the practice squad, the team announced Saturday.
