Released:

Waived/injured:

Placed on injured reserve:

Lucas could have conceivably given the Rams a bit of depth at offensive tackle, as he has 35 career games under his belt (although he’s played in only six contests over the past two seasons). Davis, meanwhile, flashed during training camp and may have been an option on the edge if not for injury.

Rams Sign Seven Undrafted Free Agents

The Rams have agreed to terms with seven undrafted free agents, the club announced today:

  • LaQuvionte Gonzalez, WR (Southeastern)
  • Ricky Jeune, WR (Georgia Tech)
  • Jeremiah Kolone, G (San Jose State)
  • Curtis Mickell, DB (Southern Mississippi)
  • Steven Mitchell, WR (USC)
  • McKay Murphy, DT (Weber State)
  • Tegray Scales, LB (Indiana)

Scales began his collegiate career at Indiana by earning freshman All-American honors before being named second-team All-Big Ten during his senior year. Per Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, Scales is a “vocal leader” who offers “elite instincts,” but could struggle to add weight to what is already a small size. Scales put up a whopping 36.5 tackles for loss over the past two seasons, and also put up 13 sacks over that same period.
