Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Floyd suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, and it was reported Monday that he is expected to be day-to-day. His status for the pivotal Thursday practice will be worth monitoring, as a return at least to a limited session would heighten his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Commanders.

Rotowire

Bills' Leonard Floyd: Headed to Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bills signed Floyd to a one-year deal Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Rams were unable to trade Floyd, so they released the pass rusher in March to clear cap space. The 2016 first-round pick recorded 29 sacks over three seasons with Los Angeles and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2017. In Buffalo, Floyd will add depth to a pass-rushing group that already features Von Miller (knee), Shaq Lawson, Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Nets ninth sack of season
Rotowire
Floyd recorded five tackles (four solo), including a sack, ad two additional quarterback hits during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Floyd was able to consistently make his way to Geno Smith, including a key sack on Seattle's second drive of the day that eventually forced the Seahawks to settle for a field goal after a lengthy drive. The veteran linebacker has carved out a healthy role in his three seasons with the Rams, recording 184 tackles and 29 sacks over that span; with two years left on his current contract, he will look to continue his solid production in 2023.

Rotowire
Floyd (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Floyd wasn't on Wednesday's injury report and didn't practice Thursday for rest purposes, but he's dealing with a stomach bug that jeopardizes his availability for Week 17. If he's unavailable against the Chargers, Daniel Hardy and Keir Thomas could see increased playing time.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Floyd (knee) is listed as questionable but is slated to play Sunday against the Falcons, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Floyd didn't practice Thursday or Friday after being limited Wednesday, but it appears he'll still suit up Sunday. Nothing is official yet, so fantasy managers in IDP leagues will likely still have to wait until closer to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff before final confirmation. Assuming Floyd is available, he should retain his usual role as a core piece of Los Angeles' defense.

It was originally reported Floyd had a "lower half" issue, but head coach Sean McVay confirmed it was an ankle injury.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Leaves field Monday
Rotowire
Rams coach Sean McVay said that the team wanted to be "smart with [Floyd]" after he exited practice early Monday with a "lower half" issue, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Floyd recently returned to football activities at the opening of training camp after he underwent offseason surgery to address a lingering right ankle injury. The veteran pass rusher is coming off the two highest single-season sack marks of his career in 2020 (10.5) and 2021 (9.5). Therefore, it's logical that the Rams would place the utmost priority on keeping Floyd healthy this preseason.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: DNP again Thursday
Rotowire

For a second consecutive session, Floyd will be a DNP on the Rams' injury report, but he was able to ride a stationary bike in the media access portion of Thursday's practice. Coach Sean McVay told Rodrigue that Floyd hurt his ankle before Week 1, so the current limitations are merely maintenance-related to ensure he avoids an unnecessary setback.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Breaks out in revenge game
Rotowire
Floyd recorded six tackles (four solo), two sacks and three quarterback hits during Monday's 24-10 win over Chicago.
Floyd spent four years with the Bears after being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, so the first-year Ram clearly capitalized on some additional motivation to post his best fantasy showing of the season Monday. It's been an inconsistent start to the campaign for Floyd, but he's playing nearly every defensive snap, and this outing could be a springboard for the coming weeks -- especially with the Los Angeles defense appearing to be trending in the right direction.

Floyd recorded four tackles (two solo), a sack and a tackle for a loss during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.
It was a strong first game with Los Angeles for Floyd. He played 68 of 72 defensive snaps and could prove to be a solid pass rusher for the Rams and potential IDP fantasy target in deeper settings. A fresh start might be just what the 2016 first-round selection needed.
