Dolac (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Dolac has primarily served on special teams this season, but if he's not cleared to return Sunday, then Troy Reeder would be the lone depth option at inside linebacker behind starters Nate Landman and Omar Speights.

Rotowire
Speights (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Larrell Murchison: Waived by Rams
Rotowire
Murchison was waived by the Rams on Saturday.
The Rams activated tight end Tyler Higbee off injured reserve Saturday, and with the move, Murchison became the odd man out. The 28-year-old played a depth role on the defensive line this season, totaling 126 snaps on defense and 44 on offense and accounting for eight tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks.

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Good to go Week 18
Rotowire
McCollough (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
McCollough was able to shed an injury designation for Week 18 after logging a full practice Friday. The Rams intend to play their starters despite being limited to the NFC's fifth or sixth seed for the playoffs, but McCollough could still see a significant number of snaps on defense if either or both of Kamren Curl and Kamren Kinchens were to operate on a snap count.

Rams' Josh Wallace: Ruled out for Week 18
Rotowire
Wallace (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Wallace was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury and will end up missing the final two regular-season games as a result. He'll aim to return to practice in at least a limited capacity during the week before the Rams' NFC wild-card game. Roger McCreary should see some defensive snaps in nickel packages in Wallace's absence.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Won't play Week 18
Rotowire
Lake (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Lake was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and ended Week 18 prep with back-to-back full practices, but he's not quite ready to return from a left elbow injury that has kept him sidelined since mid-November. Given his ability to log full practices, Lake stands a good chance to be activated from IR ahead of the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Rams' Braden Fiske: Good to go against Arizona
Rotowire
Fiske (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Fiske was able to shed an injury designation for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday. The second-year defensive lineman has been working through an ankle issue since mid-December, and while the Rams intend to play their starters in Week 18, Fiske could have his snap count limited to avoid injury aggravation. In that scenario, Tyler Davis and Larrell Murchison would be in line for more snaps on defense.

Rams' Omar Speights: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Speights (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Speights suffered a high-ankle sprain back in October and has been on the injury report various times this season. Across 15 starts this season, Speights has logged 80 tackles (41 solo) and one pass breakup.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Lake (elbow) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Lake was designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the day, and he was ultimately able to log a full practice in his return. The safety has been sidelined since mid-November while recovering from a left elbow injury and subsequent surgery. Lake will have one more opportunity to build off of Thursday's session before Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, but it remains unclear if the Rams intend on activating him for the regular-season finale.

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
McCollough (hip) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
McCollough followed up his limited tag from Wednesday's walkthrough with an official limited practice Thursday. The safety is nursing a hip injury that he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Falcons, and he'll have one more chance to be a full participant at practice before Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

Rams' Braden Fiske: Limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Fiske (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Fiske was able to officially log a limited practice after being considered a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough. The defensive lineman has played through an ankle injury in back-to-back contests, and he'll have one more chance to practice in full before Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Designated to return, inks new deal
Rotowire
The Rams designated Lake (elbow) to return from injured reserve Thursday, and the two sides also agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension the same day, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
It was a busy start to the new year for Lake, whose contract extension includes $25.7 million guaranteed. The 2022 sixth-rounder is unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, but Lake could be available for the Rams' postseason run. He landed on IR in mid-November after undergoing surgery to repair an elbow injury, and his return would likely result in less defensive snaps being available for Cobie Durant and Roger McCreary.

Rams' Braden Fiske: Still working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Fiske (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Fiske has been able to play through an ankle injury for the Rams' last two games, though he's logged just one tackle over that span while seeing his snaps on defense noticeably decrease. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation heading into Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Cardinals.

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough
Rotowire
McCollough (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
McCollough was able to return to Monday's loss against the Falcons after briefly exiting due to a hip injury. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice and potentially avoid an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals. McCollough has accumulated 22 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses in the nine games since the Rams' Week 8 bye.

Rams' Omar Speights: Working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Speights (ankle) was estimated as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Speights may have tweaked his ankle during Monday's loss to the Falcons, when he logged eight tackles (three solo) while playing 65 snaps (46 on defense, 19 on special teams). The Rams hosted a walkthrough practice Wednesday, so the second-year linebacker will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals.

Rams' Kobie Turner: Five tackles in defeat
Rotowire
Turner recorded five tackles (three solo) in the Rams' loss to the Falcons on Monday night.
Turner's five tackles were his second-most in a game this season, but he was otherwise kept quiet by Atlanta's offensive line. The third-year defensive lineman has produced 47 tackles (23 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and three pass breakups, including one interception, on 67 percent of the defensive snaps across 16 starts this season.

Rams' Nate Landman: Six tackles against former team
Rotowire
Landman recorded six tackles (two solo) in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.
Facing his former Atlanta teammates for the first time, Landman's six tackles were his fourth-fewest in a game this season. The 27-year-old linebacker has started all 16 games in 2025, producing 129 tackles (62 solo), including 2.5 sacks, six pass breakups, including one interception, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on 92 percent of the defensive snaps.

Rotowire
McCollough (hip) has returned to action Monday against Atlanta, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Dealing with hip injury
Rotowire
McCollough (hip) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Falcons.
McCollough suffered a hip injury in the first half, and his status for the remainder of the game is now up in the air. The 25-year-old's absence makes the Rams rather thin in the secondary with Josh Wallace (ankle) already unavailable, per Stu Jackson of the team's official site.
