Los Angeles Rams release CB Troy Hill following DUI arrest

The Los Angeles Rams released cornerback Troy Hill on Tuesday, three days after he was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

The 25-year-old Hill crashed into the back of a big rig near Encino, Calif., around 8 a.m. PT on Saturday, according to the California Highway Patrol. Witness accounts claim Hill's Mercedes swerved across multiple lanes before plunging into the semi-truck.

Hill was arrested after a field sobriety test. The Rams deactivated him for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, and coach Jeff Fisher told reporters on Monday that he was "very, very disappointed" with Hill's actions.

Hill, a second-year pro from Oregon, had 38 tackles this season.

Los Angeles also waived cornerback Dwayne Gratz and placed linebacker Josh Forrest (knee) on injured reserve. Cornerback Michael Jordan and linebacker Nic Grigsby were promoted from the practice squad.
