The Rams activated special teams star Tim Tyrrell Friday and placed rookie tailback Keith Jones on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

Tyrrell had been on injured reserve since Aug. 30 with a hamstring pull. Jones had been on the team’s two-man inactive list on game days.

To make room for Tyrrell on the 45-man roster, rookie linebacker Brett Faryniarz was moved to Jones’ spot on the inactive list for this week.

Also, Coach John Robinson announced that right guard Duval Love will not start against the Phoenix Cardinals at Anaheim Stadium Sunday because of a foot injury. Love will be available if needed, however. Tony Slaton will take Love’s place.

Quarterback Jim Everett has been named the National Football League’s player of the month for September, during which time he completed 63 of 103 passes for 739 yards with 9 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Everett leads the NFC in passing efficiency with a 104 rating.
