Rams' busy day goes beyond trade

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- With injuries piling up, the St. Louis Rams did more roster shuffling than their trade for safety Mark Barron on Tuesday.
It was a busy day at Rams Park as the Rams made a series of tweaks to their active roster and their practice squad.
Most noteworthy was the expected move to place left tackle Jake Long on injured reserve after he suffered a second ACL tear in as many seasons in Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. To replace him, the Rams promoted linebacker Korey Toomer from the practice squad. Toomer just signed with the Rams last week.
The Rams also created another opening on their active roster by releasing quarterback Case Keenum. With Keenum gone, Barron steps into that vacated roster spot. Receiver Brian Quick is expected to go to injured reserve also, meaning the Rams will likely make another addition to the active roster in the next 24 hours or so.
Meanwhile, on the practice squad, the Rams also released quarterback Garrett Gilbert and lost offensive tackle Mike Remmers to Carolina's active roster. After subtracting Keenum and Gilbert, the Rams now have just two quarterbacks on the roster in the form of Shaun Hill and Austin Davis though it's possible Keenum could be brought back to the practice squad should he clear waivers.
As it stands, the Rams also have three openings on the practice squad though they're expected to fill one with offensive tackle Steven Baker.
