But while Sam won’t be making the Rams roster this year, there was hope that he’d make the team’s practice squad. That too won’t be happening as Sam has been released and forgotten about by the Rams.
According to Albert Breer from NFL Network, the Rams will not be adding Sam to their practice squad this season.
Michael Sam won't be signed to the Rams practice squad, per source. St. Louis using those spots to back up areas without depth.

The hope is Sam can land on a practice squad somewhere in the next few days.

The Rams will likely announce their practice squad tomorrow. Again, without Sam on it.

Sam may find a spot somewhere in the NFL but he’ll have to earn his way to a roster spot on an NFL team. It’s going to be the practice squad route for Sam but that won’t be a chance he gets with the Rams.
