The Rams waived Tre’ Jackson on Friday, only two days after they claimed the oft-injured guard off waivers from New England.
Jackson missed all of last season, and part of the 2014 season, with knee problems, and according to the NFL’s official list of transactions, Jackson failed his physical with the Rams.
The Rams were aware that Jackson’s health might prevent him from joining the team, but decided to take a chance on a former fourth-round pick who actually started nine games for the Patriots in his rookie season before his knee problems began.
The Rams, who are in the early stages of offseason workouts in Thousand Oaks, have been looking to add depth to their offensive line. Rodger Saffold and Rob Havenstein are the early favorites to start at guard, with Jamon Brown and Cody Wichmann as primary backups.
