The Rams did not extend Gervase (ankle) a qualifying offer or tender, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason, per the NFL's communication site.
EDGE Analysis
Gervase appeared in 14 games during the 2022 season, but the linebacker's only saw playing time as a special teams contributor. In 300 special teams snaps, the 27-year-old recorded just six tackles (five solo). As an unrestricted free agent, Gervase can now negotiate with other teams and sign elsewhere this offseason.

The Rams placed Gervase (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gervase left the Rams' Week 15 loss at Green Bay in the second half due to an ankle injury, which didn't allow him to practice Wednesday through Friday and resulted in the team ruling him out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. With the move to IR, his season now is over with the Rams out of playoff contention, meaning he'll end his fourth pro campaign with six tackles in 14 appearances.

Gervase (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gervase suffered the injury in Monday's loss to the Packers. He was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week, so it's unclear when he may be able to return to the field. Ernest Jones should see an uptick in snaps with Gervase sidelined.

Gervase (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Gervase will try to return for the second half. If he's unable to do so, the backup linebacker will finish Week 15 without a meaningful statistic.

The Rams promoted Gervase from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rams had an available spot on the 53-man unit, so Gervase may now get the opportunity to make his NFL debut. In the event the Iowa product does manage to suit up against the Falcons on Sunday, he'll likely be relegated to special teams.
