The Rams released Thomas (groin) from IR with an injury settlement Thursday, per the NFL's transaction report.
Thomas suffered a groin injury during preseason play and was subsequently placed on season-ending injured reserve. However, since he was able to reach an injury settlement with Los Angeles, the linebacker could end up playing this season if he can get past his injury and sign with another team. With that said, Thomas hasn't played a regular-season NFL snap since 2024, so he may need to settle for a practice-squad deal.

Rams' Nate Landman: Enters concussion protocol
Rotowire
Landman (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Landman likely sustained his concussion in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. The linebacker has enterted the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will need to upgrade his practice participation with the approval of an independent neurologist before being cleared for game-day activities. If Landman cannot clear the league's protocol by Sunday's game against the Raiders, veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks could be called up to the active roster in his place.

Rams' Kobie Turner: Officially placed on IR
Rotowire
The Rams placed Turner (groin) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Turner suffered a significant groin injury during the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals, and the health issue is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. The fourth-year pro will be required to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest that Turner can return is Week 12 against the Packers on Wednesday, Nov. 25. In his absence, Braden Fiske should move into a starting role on the defensive line opposite Aaron Donald, while Tyler Davis and Larrell Murchison work in rotation.

Rams' Poona Ford: Shifts to injured reserve
Rotowire
The Rams placed Ford (triceps) on injured reserve Tuesday.
The move is an expected one, given that Ford suffered a season-ending triceps injury during the Rams' 18-16 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. The veteran defensive tackle will shift his focus toward rehab and being fully healthy for the 2027 season, which is the final year of his three-year, $27.6 million contract with the Rams.
Ford (triceps) will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reported Monday.
Ford suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. The defensive tackle signed a three-year, $27.6 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025 and was set to continue as a pivotal part of the team's pass rush throughout 2026. Ford finished his season with 15 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed over six games, logging no sacks.

Rams' Kobie Turner: Bound for IR with groin injury
Rotowire
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Turner is expected to go on injured reserve after sustaining a groin strain in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Turner is facing a projected recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, giving the defensive tackle a shot a returning from IR when first eligible Week 12 versus Green Bay. Regarded as a strong interior pass rusher, Turner had been held without a sack for the Rams' first six contests of 2026 after racking up 24 through his first three seasons in the league. His absence for at least the next four games should open up a full-time starting role for Braden Fiske opposite Aaron Donald.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Not ready to return in Week 7
Rotowire
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Garrett (knee) won't have his 21-day practice window opened this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
The Rams haven't indicated that Garrett has experienced any setbacks since undergoing arthroscopic left knee surgery following the team's Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Australia, but he looks like he'll need more time to complete his rehab before getting back on the field for practice. The ongoing absence of Garrett will continue to loom large heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders, especially with one of the Rams' other key pass rushers (defensive tackle Kobie Turner) set to join Garrett on injured reserve after sustaining a groin injury in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals.

Rotowire

Rams' Nate Landman: Good to go for Week 6
Rotowire
Landman (wrist/shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Landman was diagnosed with a wrist injury following the Rams' loss to the Bills in Week 5. He was also working through a shoulder issue during Week 6 prep, but his full practice Friday was enough for him to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest. Landman has accumulated 41 tackles (21 solo), one pass defense and two forced fumbles through five regular-season games.

Rams' Trent McDuffie: Questionable after precautionary absence
Rotowire
McDuffie (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
McDuffie sat out Friday's practice after feeling some discomfort in his groin near the end of Thursday's session. Despite the DNP, there is a very good chance McDuffie suits up for Sunday's game. He'll likely miss the contest only if issue has worsened.

Rams' Kam Curl: Questionable for Week 6
Rotowire
Curl (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Curl injured his ankle during Thursday's practice, and while he was held out of Friday's session, head coach Sean McVay told reporters that the Rams "feel good" about Curl's chances of playing against Arizona. If the veteran safety is not able to play, then Jaylen McCollough would likely step into a starting role next to Kamren Kinchens, with Maximus Pulley providing depth at the position.

Rams' Kam Curl: Picks up ankle injury
Rotowire
Curl was limited in practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
The fact Curl showed up on the injury report midweek may be indicative of a health concern that happened in practice. In any case, the status of the Rams' starting strong safety will be monitored to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday against the Cardinals.

Rams' Nate Landman: Estimated to be limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Landman (wrist) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' estimated injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Not ready to return to practice
Rotowire
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.
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.
