Ex-Illini Weil makes practice squad
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Former University of Illinois fullback Russ Weil has been signed to the Rams’ practice squad. Others re-signed are defensive end C.J. Ah You, running back Lance Ball, offensive lineman Dustin Fry, linebacker Marc Magro, wide receiver Derek Stanley and cornerback Darius Vinnett.
The eighth spot will go to safety Eric Bassey if he clears waivers Tuesday. Bassey was let go after cornerback Ricky Manning Jr. signed his contract today.
All the practice squad members were in training camp with the Rams.
All for now . . . more following this afternoon’s practice.
