The Facts: The Rams waived Pettis, a wide receiver and 2011 third-round draft pick, today.

Diehards Line: Pettis was surprisingly left inactive on Sunday after having played in all five previous games this season. The 6-3, 203-pound Pettis is a good athlete who showed promise at times but never quite lived up to what the Rams thought they were getting when they drafted him. This year Pettis has 12 catches for 118 yards and one touchdown.
