It was announced yesterday that the Los Angeles Rams had claimed outside linebacker Jamir Jones off waivers. The Pittsburgh Steelers waived him earlier this week with the presumed intention of signing him to the practice squad, after determining that Derrek Tuszka, at the time himself on the practice squad, was a better fit for the 53-man roster.
Jones now joins an oddly growing list of young Steelers pass rushers who grew a cult following in the preseason, only to accomplish little or nothing in Pittsburgh before finding his way out one way or another; he is now in the subset that includes those claimed off waivers.
