LeVoir snatched by Rams

By Sun-Times Wire

On the day the Bears added guard Mike Jones to the practice squad, they lost offensive tackle Mark LeVoir to the St. Louis Rams.

St. Louis signed the Notre Dame product to its 53-man roster, leaving John St. Clair as the only reserve tackle in the locker room. LeVoir spent last season on the practice squad after being an undrafted free agent. He was considered a marginal prospect at right tackle.
