Some players fall swiftly from starting jobs to competing for a starting job, to a job at all.
To make room for the official re-signing of linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar, the Rams released veteran tackle Max Starks, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The 31-year-old Starks started all 16 games for the Steelers last year, but looked shaky in losing a duel for the Chargers left tackle job to King Dunlap. That led to signing with the Rams as an injury replacement.
The move could also mean Rams starting right tackle Rodger Saffold is closer to returning from a knee injury as well.
