Brit Miller released

Scott Wells was added back to the Rams' 53-man roster today from injured reserve, as expected. A little less expected: fullback Brit Miller was released to make room for Wells. Miller was not active for Sunday's loss to the Jets. Lance Kendricks is expected to take Miller's lead-blocking role, which is a good call. Lance has seriously improved as a blocker this season, and RamView never has thought that highly of Miller's play at fullback. Brit is a pretty good special teams player, so the risk is that the Rams will miss his blocking there. And sadly, Rampage is going to have to find a new roommate.

Corey Harkey could also get some opportunities in the fullback/blocking tight end role. It sounds like he will stick on the main roster. The Rams still have a practice squad opening.

The Rams roster currently has nine offensive linemen, four tight ends and only three defensive tackles. If Wells is immediately stepping in at center against the Big Dead this week, I'm expecting Robert Turner to slide over to LG, being much less of a pass-protection liability than Shelley Smith.
