The Rams signed Wentz on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wentz is expected to slide in as a veteran backup to Matthew Stafford, who missed part of Week 8 and then the entirety of Week 9 with a thumb injury. The signing was prompted by the team's inability to move the ball with Brett Rypien under center, as Rypien completed just 47.4 percent of his throws for 172 yards at 4.5 yards per attempt with no touchdowns in his two appearances. The Rams now have their bye week to get Wentz up to speed on the playbook in the event Stafford isn't ready to return for a Week 11 tilt against the Seahawks.
