The Los Angeles Rams did a tight end swap on Monday, waiving Anthony Torres and signing McCallan Castles. Torres suffered an ankle injury in Saturday’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, opening the door to make a change, per ESPN’s Sarah Barshop.
Castles went undrafted out of Tennessee in 2024 and spend last season on the practice squads for the Eagles and Chargers.
Castles started his career at Cal in 2018 and spent two seasons with the Golden Bears prior to transferring to UC Davis in 2020. He had a little over 700 seasons combined in the 2022-2023 seasons and then took full advantage of the extra year of eligibility due to Covid-19 and the transfer portal, going to Tennessee in 2024. There, Castles had 283 yards and five touchdowns as a sixth-year senior at his third school.
Ah, modern college football.
Castles is 6’4, 244 lbs, and ran a reported 4.68 40-yard dash at his pro day. He was waived by the Chargers one week ago.
Torres was undrafted out of Toledo.
