The Rams signed Presley to the practice squad Wednesday, Wyatt Miller of the team's official site reports.
Presley wasn't able to crack the Rams' 53-man roster despite a strong preseason in which he finished with 11 catches for 164 yards and one touchdown across three games. He'll remain in the organization as a member of the practice squad, and the undrafted rookie could be elevated to the active roster if the Rams require depth at wide receiver on game day.

Brennan Presley: Doesn't crack Rams' 53-man squad
Rotowire
The Rams waived Presley on Tuesday.
The undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma State entered training camp as a longshot to make the Rams' 53-man roster, but he played well enough in the preseason to make it a tough decision for the team's coaching staff. Presley had a standout performance in the Rams' second preseason game against the Chargers, when he caught six passes (on eight targets) for 102 yards, and he finished with an 11/164/1 statline across the Rams' three preseason games. He wasn't able to survive Tuesday's cut-down day, but he might opt to stay with the Rams as a member of the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Rams' Brennan Presley: Leads team in receiving

Presley secured six of eight targets for 102 yards during Saturday's 23-22 preseason win against the Chargers.
Presley's biggest catch of the preseason came in the waning moments of the Rams' victory when Stetson Bennett tossed up a Hail Mary on fourth down. Presley made the contested catch over two Chargers' defenders for a 40-yard gain, and one play later Bennett tossed a game-winning nine-yard touchdown pass to Tru Edwards. While the Rams will be hard-pressed to find a spot for the UDFA given the deep and talented pool of wideouts on the roster, Presley could make the decision to leave him off the final 53-man roster more difficult with another big game in next week's preseason finale against the Browns.
