Smith Returns to Rams Amidst WR Injuries

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Tuesday that they have signed wide receiver Xavier Smith. Smith joins the Rams after being on the practice squad for the San Francisco 49ers. He was previously released by the Rams earlier in the current season, having served as their main returner.

Last season, Smith appeared in 16 games for the Rams, accumulating 18 receptions for 303 receiving yards. The team is currently experiencing a shortage of pass-catching options. Both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are on injured reserve. Additionally, tight end Terrance Ferguson is dealing with a hamstring injury, further limiting the available receivers for the team.
