Rams promoted CB Chris Smith from the practice squad. An undrafted rookie out of Northern Illinois, Smith will provide depth in St. Louis' injury ravaged secondary, but should see most of his snaps on special teams. He has never before appeared in an NFL game.

Rams waived CB Chris Sims and signed WR Jared Jenkins. Jenkins will be buried on a deep receiver depth chart. Smith was an undrafted rookie from Northern Illinois. He hurt his knee in last weekend's scrimmage.
