Rams waive Isaiah Pead

The St. Louis Rams have waived running back Isaiah Pead, according to Myles Simmons of StLouisRams.com.

What It Means:

The team also signed former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Nick Toon to the practice squad. With rookie Todd Gurley having made his debut Sunday, the team had a crowded backfield with Tre Mason and Benny Cunningham.

Pead was a second-round pick in 2012, but he never had more than 10 carries in a season. His two carries this year turned into -5.02 Rushing Net Expected Points, largely thanks to a lost fumble. Pead doesn't have much production to stand on as he hits the free agent market.
