Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post reports that, as of now, Rams seventh-round pick Michael Sam has not signed to an NFL practice squad since he cleared waivers earlier today.

• Sam did meet with Rams HC Jeff Fisher earlier today, but this was planned interview, according to Jim Thomas.
• Jason La Canfora mentions that Sam is “hardly a guarantee” to end up on St. Louis’ practice squad given the depth they have at the position.

Sam was among the Rams’ final roster cuts on Saturday after they elected to go with undrafted rookie Ethan Westbrooks as the last defensive lineman on their roster.
