The Los Angeles Rams are thinning out their backfield a little bit as they progress through OTAs. On Tuesday, they announced they have waived rookie running back Tiyon Evans.
The Rams signed Evans as an undrafted free agent this offseason but his time with the team has already come to an end. Evans had an uphill climb to making the 53-man roster with Cam Akers, Kyren Williams and Zach Evans essentially locked in as the top three running backs, with Ronnie Rivers also competing at the position.
In eight games at Louisville last season, Evans rushed for 525 yards with six touchdowns on the ground.
