St Louis Rams running back Trey Watts might have just cost himself a job. Watts has been suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
Watts made the roster after performing well in the 2014 preseason. Although he was only used in special team roles during the season, he appeared to be on track to gain more reps.
This suspension completely opens the door for Isaiah Pead and the undrafted rookie Brown to earn his spot. In a league where everyone is constantly trying to outplay you to earn your spot, mistakes like this just can’t happen
