The Rams will have two new starting guards Sunday against the Houston Texans. Right guard Richie Incognito was released Tuesday, and later in the day, the team placed left guard Jacob Bell on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered against Tennessee.

Mark Setterstrom and John Greco are the likely candidates to be the starting guards against the Texans.

Offensive tackle Ryan McKee was claimed off waivers to fill one of the two vacant roster spots; McKee was cut by the New York Jets on Monday. In addition, offensive tackle Eric Young is expected to be promoted from the practice squad to the Rams’ 53-man roster.

The Rams had offensive guard Greg Isdaner and center Drew Miller in for workouts Tuesday. One or both could be added to the practice squad today. Isdaner, a West Virginia product, was on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad earlier this season. Miller, a former Florida Gator, was signed as an undrafted free agent by Jacksonville in 2008.
