Defensive tackle Doug Worthington joined the Rams late last season and has been on the team’s practice squad.
Until now.
Before practice Tuesday, the well-traveled Ohio State product received the news that he’d been promoted to the 53-man roster.
“It’s just an awesome feeling. Definitely a blessing,’’ the 28-year-old Worthington said. “This is a Rams organization that gave me a chance late last year when I really wasn’t expecting it and now I’m trying to make the most of it. This is the best defensive line in the NFL, so I’m very humbled and very happy to be here.
