Reuniting with Rams
Shelton is in line to sign a two-year contract with the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shelton signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Bears in March of 2024 after spending the prior four seasons with the Rams. He started in all 17 regular-season games in 2024, but he'll head back to Los Angeles for the 2025 season after the Bears agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract with former Falcons center Drew Dalman on Monday.

Windy City bound
Shelton signed a one-year contract with the Bears on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Shelton started at center for all 17 regular season games for the Rams last season. With no clear option at center currently for Chicago, the 28-year-old will likely have the inside track for the gig heading into the team's offseason programs.

Rejoins Rams
Shelton re-signed with the Rams on a two-year contract Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shelton started all 13 games he played for the Rams last season. He can slide in at guard or center.
Nov 13, 2022
Activated from injured reserve
The Rams activated Shelton from injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Shelton has been on IR since suffering a high-ankle sprain during the team's Week 4 loss to the 49ers, but he returned to practice to begin Week 10 prep and will be available for Sunday's matchup against Arizona. The 27-year-old offensive lineman is expected to provide depth at center and both guard positions.

Designated to return from IR
The Rams designated Shelton (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Shelton has been on IR since suffering a high-ankle sprain during the team's Week 4 loss to the 49ers, but he'll return to practice Wednesday. With the move, the Rams open a 21-day window for the center to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, he'll revert to IR for the remainder of the campaign.

Lands on IR
The Rams placed Shelton (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Shelton suffered a high-ankle sprain during the team's Week 4 loss to the 49ers, and he'll be forced to miss at least four games after landing on injured reserve. The 27-year-old center had been operating as the team's starting center over the past three weeks in the absence of Brian Allen (knee), so Jeremiah Kolone figures to be the next man up.

Endures high-ankle sprain
Shelton suffered a high-ankle sprain during Monday's 24-9 loss to the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shelton stepped in as the team's starting center over the past three weeks, after fellow lineman Brian Allen underwent a knee procedure after the team's opener against Buffalo. The 299-pounder is now looking at a 4-to-6 week recovery period, but Allen has a solid chance to return and replace Shelton at center just in time for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.
Oct 3, 2022
Won't return Monday
Shelton (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Shelton stepped in as the Rams' starting center with Brian Allen (knee) inactive against San Francisco. With the fifth-year interior lineman now forced out in the first half, Jeremiah Kolone will take over in the middle of Los Angeles' offensive line, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.
Sep 10, 2021
Activated off COVID-19 list
The Rams activated Shelton from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Shelton spent over a week away from the team so his conditioning ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bears may be questionable. Barring injury, he will operate as the backup center behind Brian Allen during the 2021 campaign.
Sep 1, 2021
Lands on COVID-19 list
The Rams placed Shelton on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Stu Jackson of TheRams.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear whether Shelton tested positive, or he was just a close contact. The 26-year-old is expected to be a primary backup along the interior of the Rams' offensive line, but he won't count towards the their initial 53-man roster until he is activated.
