Designated for return to practice
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 8:32 PM
The Rams designated Trost (hamstring) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Thursday.
Analysis: Per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, Trost was a full participant at practice Thursday. He could suit up for the first time this season as soon as Sunday, but for now, he's still waiting to be officially activated from IR. |
Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Still dealing with shoulder issue
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 7:48 PM
Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parkinson was able to play through his shoulder injury in Week 5 versus the Bills, but it still appears to be bothering him as Sunday's game versus the Cardinals approaches. He'll now look to repeat what he did a week ago and upgrade to full participation at practice Friday and avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. |

Suspension reduced to one game
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:36 PM
Jackson's suspension for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during Monday's game versus the Bills has been reduced to one game, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Analysis: Jackson was initially dealt a two-game suspension after hitting veteran defensive end Bradley Chubb in the face following an altercation in Week 5, but that penalty was cut in half after an appeal. He'll still have to miss Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, though, and veteran David Quessenberry figures to step in at left tackle for that contest. |

Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Estimated to be limited Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:59 PM
Parkinson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' estimated injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parkinson played 53 snaps on offensive during Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills, reeling in one of two targets for three yards. The tight end was limited at each of the team's first two practices last week before logging a full session Friday, and he appears to be potentially on track to do the same thing prior to Week 6. Parkinson will have two more opportunities to officially practice before Sunday's matchup with Arizona. |

Estimated to be limited Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:50 PM
Landman (wrist) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' estimated injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Landman compiled a season-high 13 total tackles (eight solo) and a pair of forced fumbles during Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills, and he may have picked up a wrist injury during the contest. The linebacker's ability to be considered limited Wednesday is a sign that the injury may not be serious. Landman will have two more opportunities to officially practice before Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. |
Davis Allen Davis Allen Considered unavailable Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:45 PM
Allen (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the Rams' estimated injury report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Allen is dealing with an apparent foot injury, and although Los Angeles didn't practice Wednesday, the tight end was considered unavailable. Allen reeled in both of his targets for 24 yards during Monday night's overtime loss to the Bills, and he may have suffered the injury during the contest. The 25-year-old will have two more chances to practice prior to Sunday's contest versus Arizona. |

Handed two-game suspension
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 9:29 PM
Jackson has been suspended two games as a result of his involvement in a postgame altercation following Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jackson took a swing at Bills pass rusher Bradley Chubb following the loss, and he may now be forced to miss the team's next two contests. The offensive lineman is expected to appeal the suspension, but if it is upheld, David Quessenberry will take over as the Rams' starting left tackle in Jackson's absence. |

Not ready to return to practice
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 8:14 PM
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Tuesday that Garrett (knee) will not return to practice this week and will not play against the Cardinals on Sunday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Garrett underwent knee surgery following the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Australia and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. He's eligible to return from IR now that he's missed the four-game minimum, but Garrett has not progressed enough in his recovery to practice, even in a limited capacity. A six-week recovery timeline for the superstar pass rusher's return was reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and ESPN in late September, and if that timeline is accurate, then Garrett could be back in action for Week 7 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 25. |
Blake Grupe Blake Grupe Taking over as Rams kicker
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 1:02 PM
The Rams signed Grupe off the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Los Angeles will bring Grupe aboard as its new kicker in place of Harrison Mevis, who was cut after going 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts in Monday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills and missing four kicks overall through the first five games of the season. Though he was unable to win the Jets' kicking job coming out of the preseason, Grupe has been a serviceable performer over parts of three NFL campaigns. For his career, Grupe has connected on 86 of 105 field-goal attempts (81.9 percent) and 96 of 98 extra-point tries (98 percent). |
Puka Nacua Puka Nacua Career-best numbers in OT loss
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:08 PM
Nacua brought in 17 of 24 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for nine yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Analysis: Nacua's jaw-dropping stat line included new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. The prolific receiver monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills' defense is it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The third-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season on a picturesque two-yard over-the-shoulder catch early in the fourth quarter, and with his production Monday, he nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the campaign. Nacua will take a 31-337-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday. |

Cleared to play against Buffalo
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 6:03 PM
Lake (hip) is active for Monday's game against the Bills, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lake has been cleared to play through a hip injury after going through pregame warmups. The fifth-year pro has played every single defensive snap through Rams' first four games of the regular season, accumulating 29 tackles (18 solo), seven pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble in that span. |
Ty Simpson Ty Simpson Emergency QB for MNF
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 6:00 PM
Simpson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback against the Bills on Monday, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Simpson will continue to operate as the Rams' emergency QB3, which means he cannot play Monday unless both Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Good to go vs. Buffalo
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 9:25 PM
Watson (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Bills, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Watson will end up missing only one game due to a dislocated shoulder that he sustained against the Broncos in Week 3. Watson will return to his starting role at outside cornerback opposite Trent McDuffie while Josh Wallace reverts to a rotational role. |

Cleared to play against Buffalo
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 9:16 PM
Landman (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Bills, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Landman had his practice reps limited due to a shoulder issue, but he avoided an injury tag for MNF after logging a full practice Saturday. The fifth-year pro has 28 tackles (13 solo) and one pass defense through the first four games of the regular season. |

Questionable, but trending toward playing
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 9:14 PM
Lake (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bills, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Lake earned the questionable tag after logging a limited session Saturday, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters after practice that the fifth-year safety is "trending in the right direction" for Monday night's game. Emmanuel Forbes and Josh Wallace would see more defensive snaps in the event that Lake is not cleared to play against Buffalo. |
|
Not ready to practice
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 3:19 PM
Garrett (knee), per head coach Sean McVay, is "on track" in his recovery but is not expected to return to practice next week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Things seems to be progressing in the right direction for Garrett, but McVay's comments indicate he will not return from injured reserve when first eligible in Week 6. Assuming Garrett remains out of practice next week as anticipated, his next chance to return will arrive in Week 7 against the Raiders. |

'Good to go' for MNF
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 3:15 PM
Donald (back) didn't practice Saturday, per head coach Sean McVay, but he's "good to go" for Monday's game versus the Bills, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Donald sat out Week 4 due to back soreness and then logged a full session Friday, and while a downgrade in activity one day later technically can be cause for concern, it likely was a veteran rest day. Through two appearances since ending his retirement, Donald has four tackles while logging a shade more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps both times. |
|
Limited in Friday's session
Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 8:32 PM
Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Landman was held out of Thursday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but he was back on the field Friday in a limited capacity. A full practice Saturday would probably be enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Monday's interconference game against the Bills. |
|
Colby Parkinson Colby Parkinson Full practice Friday
Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 5:59 PM
Parkinson (shoulder/knee) practiced fully Friday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean McVay told Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site on Thursday that the Rams plan to increase Parkinson's activity level as the week goes on. Indeed, Parkinson followed up a limited session with an uncapped one a day later, meaning he'll miss just one contest as a result of shoulder and knee injuries. Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and Max Klare are the team's current healthy tight ends with Terrance Ferguson (ankle) on injured reserve. |
|
Practices in full Friday
Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 5:52 PM
Donald (back) practiced in full Friday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Donald missed Week 4 due to a sore back, but coach Sean McVay said Monday that the Rams are "hopeful" the defensive lineman will return to action in Week 5, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official site. After being limited Thursday, Donald handled every practice rep one day later and thus is in line to play Monday against the Bills. Through two games this season, he has four tackles while logging a defensive snap share just above 50 percent on both occasions. |
