APThe Rams added some pass catching and offensive line depth Wednesday, signing wide receiver Damian Williams and offensive guard Brandon Washington.
To open the roster spots, the Rams placed wide receiver Brian Quick on injured reserve and waived rookie defensive back Jemea Thomas.
The moves were announced in the NFL’s transactions.
The 26-year-old Williams has a connection to Rams head coach Jeff Fisher; the Titans took Williams in Round Three in 2010, Fisher’s final year with Tennessee. Williams (6-1, 200) has caught 107 passes for 1,327 yards and five touchdowns in five NFL seasons.
A USC and Arkansas product, Williams was waived by Miami on Saturday. His addition keeps the Rams at five wide receivers after Quick’s season-ending shoulder injury.
Washington (6-2, 320) has spent parts of the last three seasons on the Rams’ practice squad, and he appeared in the club’s 2013 season finale. The 26-year-old Washington was a sixth-round pick of Philadelphia in 2012 out of Miami (Fla.).
Washington’s promotion comes with former starting left guard Greg Robinson moving to left tackle to replace Jake Long, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear on Sunday.
