The St. Louis Rams completed their eight-man practice squad Tuesday by adding running back Allen Patrick. Patrick was a seventh-round draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2008 out of the University of Oklahoma.

Patrick has bounced around to several teams since then, most recently the Indianapolis Colts, but has yet to play in a regular-season NFL game. He spent most of his rookie season on Cleveland's practice squad, and part of '09 on practice squads in Jacksonville and with the New York Giants. Patrick, 6-1, 196, was on Cleveland's active roster the final three games of '08, but didn't see game action.

At Oklahoma, Patrick rushed for 1,906 yards over three seasons, including 1,009 as Adrian Peterson's replacement in 2007.

The Rams had four wide receivers and a safety in for free-agent workouts Tuesday. But all were in on an evaluation basis only, for future consideration if the Rams need to replace injured or under-performing players.

The wide receivers, with their most recent NFL teams in parenthesis: Derek Hagan (Giants), Jason Hill (San Francisco), Demetrius Williams (Baltimore), and Paul Williams (Tennessee). The free safety in Tuesday was Al Afalava (Chicago).
