With the expiration of wide receiver Mike Thomas’ roster exemption, Los Angeles has waived safety Maurice Alexander to make room for Thomas on the 53-man roster.
The Rams selected Alexander in the fourth round of the 2014 draft. He was mainly a special teams contributor in nine games his rookie season, before filling in at strong safety for five starts in 2015. Last season, Alexander started 14 games at free safety for Los Angeles, recording a pair of interceptions, four passes defensed, and a sack. In all, Alexander appeared in 41 games, making 23 starts, for the franchise.
