Why Michael Sam isn't on an NFL roster

The Rams cut their roster down to the required 53-man size on Saturday and seventh-round pick Michael Sam was not one of the players included. The rookie, who happens to be the first openly gay player in NFL history, then cleared waivers but was passed over for St. Louis' 10-man practice squad as well. Now, four days removed from cut day, Sam has still yet to find a home in the league. NBCSN football analyst Ross Tucker joined The Dan Patrick Show to explain why he believes the first-year defensive end has been unable to land on an NFL roster.
