The Raiders released Hager on Sunday.
Hager landed with the Raiders earlier this month, but he apparently hasn't impressed enough to keep a roster spot. After appearing in all 16 games the first four seasons of his career, Hager took part in just five contests last year. He's now free to pursue opportunities with other clubs.

Rams' Bryce Hager: Dealing with stinger
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Hager is dealing with a shoulder stinger and will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against Seattle, J.B. Long of ESPN LA reports.
Hager suffered the injury early in the first half against the Buccaneers on Sunday, and as evidenced by this news, could be forced to miss more time. The Rams didn't practice Monday, but if they did, Hager would've been a non-participant on a short week per Omar Ruiz of NFL Network, which doesn't bode well for his chances to play. The 27-year-old's practice availability throughout the week should shed more light on his chances to play Thursday.

He's increased his tackle total every campaign while mostly seeing the field as a special teams player, culminating in a career-high 14 tackles in 2018.

Rams' Bryce Hager: Limited in practice Thursday
Rotowire
Hager (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice.
The second year linebacker projects to back up Alec Ogletree this season. His status for Monday's season opener against the 49ers will depend on if he can clear the NFL's concussion protocol. If he cannot play, Josh Forrest will likely slide into the backup role.
