The Rams hoped that wide receiver Mark Clayton could give boost to the team’s offense when he came off the PUP list.

Instead, Clayton couldn’t get healthy.

St. Louis announced Thursday that Clayton is headed to injured reserve because of pain in both knees. He caught three passes after returning to the team.

The Rams have fruitlessly tried to find consistent weapons for Sam Bradford all year. Clayton will be a free agent (again) after the year.

The team is “hopeful” that Danario Alexander and Austin Pettis will be ready for Sunday’s game after Seattle.
