After going undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft, McCutcheon signed with the Los Angeles Rams. He played 139 snaps during the preseason as a rookie before being waived during final roster cuts. After clearing waivers, McCutcheon was added to the Rams’ practice squad but was released on November 21. He returned to the team the following week, signing a futures contract for the offseason.

In the most recent preseason, McCutcheon played 123 snaps but once again failed to make the Rams’ 53-man roster and was not re-signed to their practice squad after going unclaimed on waivers.
