The Rams roster has been riddled by injuries in the first four weeks of the season and they signed two players Monday to help weather the storm.

They signed wide receiver Nick Miller to fill the roster spot opened up because Danny Amendola will miss the rest of the season with a torn tricep. Miller appeared in the first two games of the season with the Raiders and was waived on October 2nd. Miller played with the Raiders last year as well, catching three passes and serving as a punt returner. Coach Steve Spagnuolo indicated Miller could see time as a returner in St. Louis this season.

Brian Jackson, who played for the Giants in 2010 and was a college teammate of Sam Bradford at Oklahoma, was signed to take Bradley Fletcher’s roster spot. Fletcher will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and the Rams have also lost cornerbacks Ron Bartell and Jerome Murphy for the season. He had nine tackles in 12 games for the Giants last year.
