Rams Sign Offensive Tackle Ryan McKee

With the loss of Jacob Bell and Richie Incognito the St. Louis Rams are running low on offensive lineman. The Rams signed offensive tackle Ryan McKee to the roster on Tuesday. McKee is a 6'6" 290lb lineman from Southern Mississippi. McKee went undrafted during the 2009 NFL Draft but was signed as a free agent by the New York Jets. Ryan earned second team All-Conference USA honors twice and lead Southern Mississippi to the New Orleans Bowl as a senior. Ryan started 40 consecutive games in his career, and recorded more than 80 knockdown blocks as a senior.

Rams Place Jacob Bell On Injured Reserve

Most Rams fans already turned off the Rams game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans before Keith Null's 4th interception of the day. While the interception was in a 33-7 game was meaningless the play itself was not. As Tennessee Titans safety Vincent Fuller returned the interception for a TD, Jacob Bell gave chase and pulled his hamstring. The injury was severe enough for the Rams to already place him on injured reserve. So the Rams O-line already without Jason Smith will now also be without Jacob Bell and Richie Incognito for the rest of the 2009 season.
