The Rams signed McPhearson to a contract Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
McPhearson has not played in an NFL game since 2022, when he was with the Eagles. The 2022 fourth-rounder out of Texas Tech played in 17 regular-season games that year, logging 96 defensive snaps and 358 special teams snaps. The 2025 Rams special teams unit was among the worst in the NFL, so a cornerback with a history of special teams production is a reasonable flyer for the team to take during the expanded roster period.

Eagles' Zech McPhearson: Recovered from Achilles injury
Rotowire
McPhearson said during a community event Saturday that he's "100 percent" recovered from his Achilles tear and that he'll be a full-go at the start of training camp, Andrew DiCecco of Inside the Birds reports.
McPhearson missed all of last season after tearing his right Achilles during a preseason game. Prior to the injury, the cornerback had played in 33 of a possible 34 regular-season contests and in all four of the Eagles' playoff games during his first two years in the NFL. McPhearson was adamant Saturday that he's back to full health and will be ready to participate from the first day of training camp, despite sitting out of spring practices as part of a "strategic ramp-up regimen." The 26-year-old will be competing for a depth role in a crowded Eagles secondary.

McPhearson (Achilles) was waived with an injury designation by the Eagles on Saturday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
McPhearson suffered a torn Achilles during Thursday's exhibition game against the Browns. He is expected to clear waivers and revert to Philadelphia's injured reserve. From there, McPhearson will focus on his recovery and returning for the 2024 campaign. The 2021 fourth-round pick played in all 17 regular-season games for the Eagles last season, primarily as a special teams contributor.
