Bryan Smith Signed by Jacksonville

Former Philadelphia Eagles third round pick, defensive Bryan Smith has been signed off the St. Louis Rams' practice squad by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Smith was inactive for every game in 2008 while with the Eagles.

Following training camp, he was cut and joined the Rams practice squad where he stayed until today.

Smith will be shifted to outside linebacker in Jacksonville joining rookie Russell Allen and veterans Quentin Groves, Clint Ingram and Daryl Smith.

Turk McBride claimed, Quinton Culberson waived

Ex-Kansas City Chief, Turk McBride was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Lions.

McBride is a perfect fit for d. coordinator Gunther Cunningham's system as Cunningham held the same position for the Chiefs during McBride's tenure there.

Given the Lions state at defensive tackle, McBride will shift there from a defensive end/outside linebacker hybrid.

Also, in crappy team news the St. Louis Rams waived linebacker Quinton Culberson.

Culberson signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2007 and has registered 75 tackles and two pass deflections in two seasons with St. Louis.
