The Los Angeles Rams on Saturday activated safety Eric Weddle and cornerback Blake Countess from the practice squad to the active roster for Super Bowl LVI.

The Cincinnati Bengals similarly elevated defensive tackle Mike Daniels and wide receiver Trent Taylor to the active roster for Sunday’s showdown at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

Weddle, 37, participated in all three playoff games so far after coming out of retirement. The six-time Pro Bowl selection started and registered nine tackles in the 20-17 win against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.

Countess, 28, has played a total of 24 snaps on special teams this postseason.

Daniels, 32, has not played since suffering a groin injury in the Bengals’ Week 18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The former Pro Bowler was limited to two games this season.

Taylor, 27, has returned four punts in three playoff games. He also caught a two-point conversion pass in the 27-24 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game.
