Rams bring back WR Xavier Smith, sign him off 49ers practice squad

The Los Angeles Rams are re-acquiring Xavier Smith, who is being signed from the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. This move is intended to help bolster the team's receiving corps, because of several key players like Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, as well as Jordan Whittington, have been moved to injured reserve.

While Smith's previous stint with the team earlier this season, his role as a primary returner yielded poor results, he had 16 appearances in 16 games last season, recording 18 catches for 303 yards.

Terrance Ferguson is also currently dealing with a hamstring injury, which further limits the team's available pass catchers.
