The Los Angeles Rams released second-year defensive back Tyrique McGhee on Monday. Earlier this month, McGhee was suspended five games for violating the league’s performance enhancing drug policy.
McGhee signed as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia a year ago, spending his entire rookie season on the practice squad. He was suspended two games in November for a PED violation, making this his second suspension in the NFL.
McGhee is a versatile defensive back who can play corner or safety. He wasn’t a lock to make the 53-man roster next season, but he was likely going to get a chance to compete at either position due to the Rams’ need at each spot.
