The move comes less than a week after the Rams lost CB Janoris Jenkins to the New York Giants to open the 2016 NFL Free Agency period. Sensabaugh will join Trumaine Johnson, who was franchise tagged more than a week ago, E.J. Gaines, who was injured for all of 2015, and Lamarcus Joyner in the Rams' CB corps. Sensabaugh himself incurred a significant foot injury in 2013.
Sensabaugh, a fourth-round pick for the Titans in the 2012 NFL Draft out of Clemson, grew through their defensive depth chart ranks taking on a full-time starter role in 2015. He follows WR Kenny Britt, TE Jared Cook, LB Akeem Ayers, DE William Hayes and CB Cortland Finnegan that have signed with the Rams under Head Coach Jeff Fisher as former Tennessee Titans, Fisher's previous employer.

Sounds like the CB battle is going to be a huge storyline for training camp...
Sensabaugh expected to compete with E.J. Gaines for outside CB job. Can also play nickel, which he did when G. Williams coached him in '13.
