"The Rams' logjam at wide receiver became even more congested Wednesday when the team re-signed veteran Mark Clayton, a 5-foot-10, 190-pounder who starred at the University of Oklahoma.

Clayton, 29, joined the Rams last year in a trade with Baltimore just days before the regular-season opener. He caught 10 passes in his first game with the team and was leading the Rams in receptions (23 for 306 yards and two touchdowns) when he suffered a torn patellar tendon against Detroit on Oct. 10 in the fifth game.

He underwent surgery on the knee, was done for the season and became a free agent in the offseason. The Rams had expressed interest all along in re-signing Clayton, but not until they were certain that his knee had progressed sufficiently."
