The Los Angeles Rams waived edge rusher Nick Hampton on Tuesday, while tight end Nick Muse was removed from the practice squad.
Hampton, 25, had 10 tackles in 12 games (no starts) this season with 112 snaps on defense and 194 on special teams.
Hampton had 12 snaps on defense Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, while Desjuan Johnson played 24 snaps on the edge in his second game with Los Angeles. Johnson had six pressures and two quarterback hits.
In three seasons with the Rams, after he was a fifth-round draft pick out of Appalachian State in 2023, Hampton had 17 tackles and two passes defensed in 36 games.
Muse, 27, was added to the practice squad last month but did not appear in a game. In three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings (2022-24), he had one reception in 16 games (no starts).
