The persistent leg injuries that have plagued wide receiver Danario Alexander led to him being waived Monday among 14 Rams roster cuts.
There were no surprises. The Rams gave Alexander, a fan favorite who starred at Missouri, an injury settlement. They also put defensive tackle Trevor Laws on injured reserve with a patellar tendon injury.
Notable cuts: WR Danario Alexander (3rd year, Missouri) -- Alexander caught a 38-yard TD in his NFL debut and averaged 16 yards on 46 catches in two seasons. But he's had five surgeries on his left knee since college, and a hamstring injury kept him from playing any preseason games this year. In his Rams career, he played in 18 games, starting seven. TE Brody Eldridge (3rd year, Oklahoma) -- An excellent blocker, Eldridge was given a four-game PED suspension in July. He could hook on with another team after that. Meanwhile, the Rams are going with Matthew Mulligan as their blocking tight end.
Complete cut list
WR Alexander (undrafted, third year, Missouri); K Garrett Lindholm (undrafted rookie, Tarleton State); LB Noah Keller (undrafted rookie, Ohio): DL John Gill (2nd year, undrafted, Northwestern ); RB Nicholas Schweiger (undrafted rookie, Dartmouth); FB Todd Anderson (undrafted rookie from Michigan State); WR Charles Gilbert (Concordia-St. Paul); WR Brandyn Harvey (2nd year, undrafted, Villanova); OL Kevin Hughes (2nd year, undrafted, Southeast Louisiana); LB Alex Hoffman-Ellis (undrafted rookie, Washington State); RB Calvin Middleton (undrafted rookie, Jacksonville State); LS Travis Tripucka (undrafted rookie, UMass); TE Brody Eldridge (3rd, fifth-round Colts pick in 2010 draft, Oklahoma); OL Ryan McKee (2nd year, undrafted, Southern Miss)
