Rams Claim QB Kellen Clemens Off Waivers

The St. Louis Rams have claimed quarterback Kellen Clemens off waivers from the Houston Texans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

To make room for Clemens, the Rams have placed left guard Jacob Bell on injured reserve with a knee injury.

A 2006 second-round pick (49th overall) out of Oregon by the New York Jets, Clemens started nine of 25 games, completing 51.8% of 284 pass attempts for 1,686 yards with five touchdowns and 11 interceptions over five seasons with the Jets before signing with the Washington Redskins after the lockout.

Clemens did not make the Redskins' 53-man roster and had workouts with the Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders and Texans, who signed him to a one-year contract after placing Matt Schaub on injured reserve.
