We’ll be tracking all of their cuts down to the 53-man limit here as Tuesday’s deadline approaches. The first reported move made by the Rams was the release of rookie wide receiver Jeremiah Haydel, who was signed as a free agent after the draft.
Follow along for updates on the Rams’ roster moves.

The Rams started their roster trimming by waiving rookie receiver Jeremiah Haydel, who also contributed as a return specialist in the preseason. He returned five kickoffs for a team-high 118 yards, with a long of 40 yards.
Unfortunately for Haydel, the Rams will be going in a different direction in the return game.
