Troy Hill (American football)
On September 25, 2016, Hill earned his first career start and collected a season-high 11 solo tackles during a 36-32 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. Hill earned his first career start after passing Coty Sensabaugh on the depth chart. Sensabaugh had a disappointing performance after replacing E.J Gaines who missed the first three games due to a thigh injury. Hill was inactive for the Rams’ Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins as a result of his arrest. On November 22, 2016, the Los Angeles Rams released Hill and signed him to their practice squad after he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence (See Personal life). On December 12, 2016, the Los Angeles Rams fired head coach Jeff Fisher after they fell to a 4-9 record. Special teams coordinator John Fassel was named the interim head coach for the remaining three games of the regular season. On December 13, 2016, the Los Angeles Rams promoted Hill to their active roster. He finished the 2016 NFL season with 40 combined tackles (32 solo) and two pass deflections in 12 games and four starts.
