It seems like only yesterday when Steve Smith caught 100 passes in a season (when in fact it was 2009). However, injury problems have sapped his athleticism in the past few years and he only caught 11 balls last year in a situational role in Philadelphia. When he signed with the receiver needy Rams last month, some believed he could play a bigger role if healthy.

However, a Pro Football Weekly report says contrary. According to a Rams’ team insider, Smith would only be the 4^th receiver on the Rams depth chart if he is healthy and is no lock to make the roster. It appears rookies Brian Quick and Chris Givens, as well as Danny Amendola, are all above him on the depth chart. Smith will compete with Brandon Gibson and Danario Alexander, the team’s two leading returning receivers, as well as 2^nd year players Austin Pettis and Greg Salas to make the roster.
