As head coach Jeff Fisher put it, Monday was a tough day around Rams Park as the team reduced the roster from 89 to 77 players.
“We just appreciate all of the young guys’ efforts,” Fisher said. “They came in here, they got opportunities, and they got better. They should feel good about what they did. They helped us become a better football team.”
St. Louis waived or released 11 players, and placed cornerback E.J. Gaines on injured reserve on Monday. Wide receiver Isaiah Ferguson had previously been waived/injured by the team, which brings the active roster to 77.
