The only NFL team without a player from an Alabama high school or college on its roster got one on Tuesday, when the Los Angeles Rams announced the signing of tight end Miller Forristall to their practice squad.

Forristall spent five seasons at Alabama. In his final two seasons, Forristall caught 38 passes for 420 yards and five touchdowns for the Crimson Tide.

The Rams signed Forristall after placing tight end Hunter Long on injured reserve on Saturday.

Forristall was most recently with the Cleveland Browns, who waived him on Aug. 26 as they reduced their preseason roster to the regular-season limit of 53 players. It was the sixth time that Forristall has been waived during his NFL career.

Forristall entered the NFL in May 2021 by signing with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted rookie. He spent time on the practice squads of the Titans and the Browns that season.

Forristall played in two games as a rookie and four in the 2022 season with Cleveland. In those games, Forristall was on the field for 27 offensive snaps and 61 special-teams plays.

Forristall signed with New Orleans on Jan. 26.

With training camp about to start, the Saints put Forristall on the physically-unable-to-perform list on July 20 with an undisclosed injury. On July 24, the Saints announced Forristall had passed his physical, making him eligible to practice in training camp. But on July 25, New Orleans waived Forristall.

Forristall signed with the Browns on Aug. 4.
