"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.

With the addition of Clayton, the Rams now have nine wideouts vying for six or possibly seven spots on the 53-man roster. The others are Danario Alexander, Danny Amendola, Donnie Avery, Brandon Gibson, Mardy Gilyard, Austin Pettis, Greg Salas and Mike Sims-Walker."
