Rams Place DTs Nick Fairley & Doug Worthington On IR & Promote RB Malcolm Brown

The St. Louis Rams placed DT Nick Fairley and DT Doug Worthington on season-ending injured reserve Thursday.

  • The Rams also promoted RB Malcolm Brown to their active roster.

Fairley, 27, wound up finding a limited free agent market last year, which led to him signing a one-year, $5 million contract with the Rams. He’ll hope for a multi-year agreement this time around after a decent season in St. Louis.

In 2015, Fairley appeared in 15 games and recorded 29 tackles, a half sack, a fumble recovery and a pass defense for the Rams. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 10 defensive tackle out of 71 qualifying players.
