Rams sign receiver J.J. Worton, release receiver Isiah Ferguson
Rams’ J.J. Worton (9) warms up during rookie camp on Friday in Oxnard.
The Rams on Tuesday signed receiver J.J. Worton, who participated in the rookie camp last week as a tryout player.
The Rams also released receiver Isiah Ferguson.
Worton, 24, played at Central Florida and was a member of the Rams’ practice squad for about a month last season.
The New England Patriots then signed him to their practice squad, but he was arrested on suspicion of assault in January after an incident at a bar in Foxborough, Mass.
Worton was arrested on suspicion of two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person aged 14 and over and one count of assault and battery.
Worton’s case was resolved, Rams General Manager Les Snead said.
