Buccaneers signing Troy Warner to practice squad

The Rams are losing Troy Warner to the Buccaneers’ practice squad.

A second player waived by the Rams this week has decided to sign with another team’s practice squad. According to the Pewter Report, the Buccaneers are signing Troy Warner to their practice squad. Christian Rozeboom is the other to leave the Rams, signing with the Chiefs’ practice squad.

Warner signed with the Rams after the draft, hailing from BYU. He was waived in the team’s initial round of cuts on Monday but appeared to be a candidate for the Rams’ practice squad. He won’t be returning, unfortunately, and is heading to Tampa Bay where he’ll try to carve out a role on special teams and defense.

Warner is the younger brother of Fred Warner, the stud linebacker for the 49ers.

Rams signing BYU safety Troy Warner, brother of 49ers LB Fred Warner

Troy Warner is joining the Rams as an undrafted free agent and could face his brother’s 49ers.

The Rams-49ers rivalry just got a bit more interesting in one household.

Following the conclusion of the 2021 NFL draft, the Rams agreed to a deal with BYU safety Troy Warner. And if the name looks familiar, it should. Warner is the brother of 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, who also went to BYU.

Troy announced the news on Twitter after the draft, thanking the Rams for the opportunity to compete for a roster spot. He added that he’s ready to get to work.

His brother Fred replied, calling it a “blessing” and saying he wishes Troy joined him with the 49ers. They each seem excited to face each other twice a year, assuming Troy makes the Rams’ roster.

In five seasons at BYU, Troy Warner made 120 tackles, had two interceptions and broke up 16 total passes.
