Josaiah Stewart, Linebacker; Los Angeles Rams
During the Rams’ preseason win over Dallas, Stewart tallied one solo tackle and one sack.
He told the assembled media after the game, “One thing I learned at Michigan… is knowing your role… I’m all about winning, so I’ll do whatever it takes.”
Kalel Mullings, Running Back; Tennessee Titans
Mullings had seven carries for 33 yards in his NFL preseason opener loss to Tampa Bay. He showed patience and toughness, strengthening his roster chances.
