The Rams waived Sterns on Friday.
Sterns inked a reserve/future contract with the Rams in January but has been let go ahead of the new league year, which begins March 15. The 5-foot-9 wideout initially signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in May 2022 but was cut ahead of the regular season. He rejoined the organization on practice-squad deal in late December, but he's still looking to make his NFL debut.

The Rams signed Sterns to the practice squad Thursday.

Buccaneers' Jerreth Sterns: Misses final roster
Rotowire
The Buccaneers cut Sterns on Monday, Greg Auman of the Athletic reports.
Sterns was productive in the preseason and was immensely productive for Western Kentucky in 2021, but the diminutive wideout (5-foot-7, 183 pounds) is probably restricted to the slot, where the Buccaneers presumably plan to feed Chris Godwin (knee) and Russell Gage. If the Buccaneers can pin Sterns to their practice squad, there's a good chance they do it, because even if he is limited to the slot, they could use his services if either of Godwin or Gage misses time.

Buccaneers' Jerreth Sterns: Impresses in preseason opener
Rotowire
Sterns secured all four targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.
Sterns had a prolific college career at Western Kentucky that included a pair of 100-catch seasons, and he'd been building some momentum in training camp practices heading into Saturday night. Sterns didn't disappoint once the lights went on, highlighting his solid night with a 19-yard touchdown grab midway through the third quarter. While the Buccaneers' top five wideout spots are likely etched in stone when factoring in the projected inclusion of Tyler Johnson on the final 53-man roster, Greg Auman of The Athletic predicts Sterns could be a candidate for a likely No. 7 receiver spot if he can produce similarly in the Buccaneers' final two preseason games.
