Quinn Ojinnaka lost his starting job, and his roster spot in a week.

After being replaced by Shelley Smith at left guard, Ojinnaka was released by the Rams Monday morning, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The journeyman offensive lineman, who also played for the Falcons, Patriots and Colts, started five games this year. He said he’s considering retiring from football, and may pursue a career in professional wrestling.
