Rams Waive Wide Receiver Quintez Cephus

The Los Angeles Rams are looking to shake things up as they approach training camp, and on Wednesday, they made a notable roster move by waiving wide receiver Quintez Cephus.

The decision leaves the Rams with an open spot on their 90-man roster, sparking speculation about potential additions as the team gears up for the upcoming season.

Cephus, who found himself on the Rams' practice squad last season, had re-signed with the team on a future contract earlier this year. Unfortunately, his journey with Los Angeles has been cut short before seeing any regular-season action with the squad.

The wideout was originally drafted in the fifth round by the Detroit Lions in 2020. During his tenure in Detroit, Cephus displayed flashes of potential, playing in 22 games and racking up 37 catches for 568 yards and four touchdowns. Despite these contributions, he hasn't taken the field in a regular season game since the 2022 season.

The Rams' move to release Cephus opens the door for other potential talents to make their mark during the critical weeks leading into training camp.
