LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams are signing quarterback Carson Wentz, a person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press.
The source spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Tuesday because Wentz needed to pass a physical before the deal could be announced.
Wentz has been out of the NFL this season after starting seven games last season for the Washington Commanders.
The Rams (3-6) are in need of another passer behind Matthew Stafford, who missed Los Angeles' dismal loss at rainy Green Bay last weekend with a thumb injury.
Los Angeles attempted to make it through the season with Stafford and Rypien as the only quarterbacks on their roster.
