Rookie punter Reggie Hodges struggled mightily Sunday afternoon against Seattle and that was the last straw. Hodges, who has been inconsistent for most of the season, received his official release Monday afternoon.
Hodges punted five times for an average of 33.2 yards with a net of 27.6 yards. On 22 punts for the season, Hodges averaged 38 yards a kick with a net of 31 yards. The Seahawks started five drives in Rams’ territory Sunday.
St. Louis used a sixth-round choice on the punter out of Ball State. No replacement has been signed yet, but the Rams are expected to bring in a punter that has been with the team before. Bryan Barker, who spent part of the preseason competing with Hodges is one candidate.
With the announcement that head coach Mike Martz is taking an indefinite leave of absence, Hodges’ replacement probably won’t be announced until the team resumes practice Thursday afternoon.
