Rams release RB Pead, promote CB McGee

The Isaiah Pead era _ or more accurately "error" _ is over. The Rams released Pead, chosen in the second round of the 2012 draft out of Cincinnati, on Tuesday.

The former Big East offensive player of the year never could translate his college success into the NFL. His totals as a Ram included only 19 carries for 78 yards, and 14 receptions for 94 yards.

He missed the entire 2014 season after suffering a knee injury in a preaseason game against Green Bay and was suspended for the first game of 2013 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
