Rams place two former Vols on waivers.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams placed a pair of former Tennessee Volunteers on waivers Friday in the first round of NFL training camp cuts.

Los Angeles waived running back John Kelly, a two-year NFL veteran, and linebacker Daniel Bituli to trim its roster to 63 players.

Kelly has spent two seasons with the Rams, alternating between the club’s practice squad and its active roster.

In two seasons between 2018-19, he appeared in eight games and had 30 carries for 83 yards and no touchdowns.

He also had two receptions for 27 yards for the team.

For Bituli, it was his second time being cut by the Rams after he signed as an undrafted free agent in 2020.

He was Tennessee’s leading tackler over the past three seasons, however he was not selected in the draft due to injury concerns.

Bituli was originally waived last month and re-signed earlier this week only to get the cut again Friday.
