The Los Angeles Rams are releasing tight end Jamal Pettigrew, according to his agent. The Rams must make four more cuts on Tuesday to get down to 85 players ahead of this Friday’s preseason contest against the Houston Texans.
The 6’7, 247 lb Pettigrew was an undrafted free agent signing out of McNeese State this year. He had 18 catches for 132 yards in seven games last year and the Rams called Pettigrew late in the draft to let them know they were going to sign him if nobody else picked him:
“My agent made me aware early in the seventh round that the Rams wanted me,” said the tight end who played two seasons at McNeese after transferring from LSU.
