Green Bay -- Wide receiver Ruvell Martin will be joining his teammates on the field in a very short while.
He'll be wearing a St. Louis Rams uniform.
Martin agreed to terms with the Rams on a new contract this afternoon and is expected to be at practice on Wednesday, according to a source close to the receiver. Martin was cut in favor of receiver Brett Swain during the final roster reduction.
He will reunite with his former teammates in two weeks when the Packers travel to St. Louis to play the Rams.
Martin will be joining a team that didn't score in its season opener against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. Twice the Rams got into the red zone and both times they failed to gain another yard. It's unclear how the Rams intend to use Martin, but he should get more opportunities there than he would have gotten with the Packers.
Martin was one of four receivers the Rams brought in for workouts Tuesday. The others were former Giants receiver David Tyree, former Saint Skyler Green and former Titan Chris Davis.
