Michael Sam Cut From Rams, First Openly Gay NFL Draftee May Still Get Chance to Join a Team
Defensive end Michael Sam was cut from the St. Louis Rams on Saturday. The first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team almost made the cut, but the Rams' depth on the defensive line made it hard to justify keeping him on the final roster. He could still sign with another team, though, or join the Rams' practice squad. After Sexual Assault Investigation, 49ers' Colin Kaepernick, Texans' Clowney Sit Out Final Preaseason Game As San Francisco Blows Houston Out 40-13
Thursday's preseason matchup between San Francisco and Houston was pretty lopsided, but it wasn't Colin Kaepernick who led his 49ers to a 40-13 blowout against the Texans. Coach Jim Harbaugh instead handed the game over to his backups, who nevertheless dominated Houston. Kaepernick has struggled this preseason, though he's seen limited action. He has also been distracted this summer by a sexual assault investigation that was ultimately dropped. Texans LB Jadeveon Clowney sat out as well, though he and coach Bill O'Brien aren't just being cautious; he is still recovering from sports hernia surgery.
