Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Rapp (neck) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Rapp's absence will be significant for Buffalo's already-shorthanded secondary, especially with Dane Jackson (concussion) also ruled out for Week 12. With Rapp out, Damar Hamlin could get a chance to handle depth work on defense for the second time this season. Rapp's next chance to play will come Week 14 vs. the Chiefs, after a much-needed bye.... See More ... See Less

Bills' Taylor Rapp: Listed as limited
Rapp (neck) was considered a limited participant for Thursday's walkthrough practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Rapp left the field via an ambulance during Sunday's win over the Jets, so his ability to get back on the field is good news for his recovery. He should still be considered questionable for a Week 12 matchup with the Eagles, but he could potentially shed that tag if he can log a full practice Friday.... See More ... See Less -
Bills' Taylor Rapp: Resting at home
Coach Sean McDermott said after Sunday's win over the Jets that he believes Rapp (neck) is resting at home, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Rapp was taken off the field in an ambulance following a hard collision Sunday, but he at least initially remained in the locker room rather than being taken to the hospital. While it's unclear whether he was ever taken to the hospital, it's encouraging that he's now resting at home. Whether he'll be available for next Sunday's game against the Eagles remains to be seen.... See More ... See Less -
Bills' Taylor Rapp: Exits in ambulance
Rapp (neck) was taken off the field in an ambulance and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets. Rapp sustained a neck injury after a hard collision with Jets running back Breece Hall. The Bills nickelback remained down on the field and was tended to for some time by the team's training staff. He was then loaded into an ambulance that took him off the field, and he was seen moving his hands while being loaded into the vehicle, according to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. Rapp also remained in Buffalo's locker room for further examination rather than being taken to the hospital, per Fitzgerald.... See More ... See Less -
Bills' Taylor Rapp: Set to start Week 10
Rapp is expected to take over the starting role at strong safety with Micah Hyde (neck) ruled out for Monday's game against the Broncos, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Rapp has mostly contributed in a depth safety role and on special teams this season. With Hyde out, Rapp will fill in at strong safety opposite Jordan Poyer. Rapp got the start in Week 4 against the Dolphins when Poyer was ruled out with a knee injury, and the former played every single defensive snap and recorded six tackles (five solo).... See More ...

Rams' Taylor Rapp: Logs 92 stops in 2022
Rapp recorded 92 tackles (58 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions and recorded a fumble over 16 games in 2022. Rapp's final year of his rookie deal saw him put together a nearly identical season to two of his previous three, discounting his 2020 season where he only played in nine games. In his other three campaigns, he's combined for 286 tackles, 20 pass defenses and 10 interceptions. A return to the Rams for the unrestricted free agent would mean fighting for playing time against Jordan Fuller (hamstring), who started the season as a co-starter at strong safety until injuries kept him off the field for all but four games....

Rams' Taylor Rapp: Picks in back-to-back weeks
Rapp recorded seven tackles (six solo), an interception and one pass defended during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers. Rapp's first-quarter interception of Aaron Rodgers was the safety's second pick in as many weeks, as Rodgers sailed a pass over the head of Allen Lazard and Rapp capitalized with the easy pick. Denver's anemic offense is next up in Week 16, and even with Russell Wilson (concussion) likely returning at quarterback over Brett Rypien, Rapp should be in line for another strong performance....

Rams' Taylor Rapp: Snags first pick of season
Rapp recorded three tackles (one solo) and one interception during Thursday's 17-16 win against the Raiders. After Baker Mayfield's improbable 98-yard touchdown drive to put the Rams up by a point with just seconds remaining, Derek Carr attempted to start a game-winning drive of his own by dialing up Davante Adams on his first pass attempt. Rapp was ready, however, and stepped in front of Adams to bring down Carr's desperation heave and give the Rams their first win since defeating the Panthers all the way back in Week 6. Rapp will look to add to his interception total in Week 15 against the Packers and Aaron Rodgers, who already has thrown nine picks so far in 2022 after throwing just nine combined in 2020 and 2021....

Rams' Taylor Rapp: Back in full Thursday
Rapp (ribs) was listed as a full participant on the Rams' injury report Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Rapp was limited with a rib injury during practice last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The safety returned to practice in a limited fashion again Wednesday, but he now appears ready to suit up for Week 6 against the Panthers. Rapp recorded 16 tackles over the first four games of the season, and his availability this Sunday should be a big boost for the Rams' banged-up secondary.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Sitting out Week 5
Rapp (ribs) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Rapp was limited during practice Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining a rib injury during Monday's loss to the 49ers, which will ultimately leave him sidelined against Dallas. With fellow starting safety Jordan Fuller (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four weeks on IR, expect Terrell Burgess and Russ Yeast to take on larger roles in the Rams' banged-up secondary.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Logs three tackles
Rapp recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 31-27 win over Atlanta. Rapp may not have stuffed the stat sheet with his line on Sunday, but for the second straight week, he played significantly more defensive snaps than Jordan Fuller (50 to 36) and nearly the same amount as Nick Scott (53), showing how much the Rams trust the fourth-year safety. Despite the quiet first two weeks of the season for Rapp, the sheer volume of opportunities should yield dividends in the long term.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Available for Super Bowl
Rapp (concussion) is active for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the Bengals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Rapp will be active for the first time since sustaining the concussion Week 18 against the 49ers. Eric Weddle has done a fantastic job filling in for him during the playoffs and is going to be the defensive play caller for the Rams on Sunday, so Rapp could garner a lesser role than he had during the regular season.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Enters weekend as questionable
Rapp (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. Rapp has missed back-to-back games since sustaining a concussion Week 18 versus San Francisco, but he was able to get back on the practice field this week as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. While his inability to log a full session at any point may mean he still has multiple phases to complete before gaining clearance from the protocol for head injuries, the final word will come from an independent neurologist. Rapp's status will be clarified, one way or another, approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Still absent Thursday
Rapp (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Rapp remained unavailable for Thursday's practice while still in concussion protocol. The safety's chances to play Sunday rely on his ability to clear the protocols. If he can't go, Terrell Burgess and Eric Weddle could once again split snaps in the Rams' secondary against the Buccaneers.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: DNP on Thursday
Rapp (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant at Thursday's walkthrough, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. The safety was placed in concussion protocol Monday and was unavailable for the Rams' first walkthrough of the week Thursday. With Rapp potentially on the shelf for the team's wild-card matchup with the Cardinals, the Rams signed Eric Weddle to their practice squad Wednesday.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Active for Week 17
Rapp (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. As expected, Rapp will be available after logging a full practice Friday. He's been a key part of the Rams' defense all season, logging 80 tackles and three interceptions across 15 games.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Full-go at minicamp
Rapp (knee) was a full participant in June's mandatory minicamp, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Rapp generated 100 tackles as a rookie in 2019, but he was demoted in Week 1 of the 2020 season after rookie sixth-round pick Jordan Fuller won the starting job out of training camp. Rapp eventually regained his starting job and finished with 44 tackles through nine games before a knee injury ended his season in Week 10. With John Johnson signing in Cleveland, Rapp is the favorite for the starting strong safety job in 2021.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Destined for injured reserve
Coach Sean McVay said that Rapp (knee) has a Grade 2 ligament sprain and will go on IR, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Rapp was forced to exit Sunday's win against the Seahawks, and it seems probable he will be on the shelf for at least a month. The Rams are hoping that the second-year safety can return to the field in short order, though Rodrigue reports his absence will likely extend four weeks or more. Four of Rapp's five starts on the season have come since Week 6, recording 44 tackles, one forced fumble and one interception during that span. In his absence, Jordan Fuller will be thrust into a prominent role at the strong safety position.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: MCL sprain likely
Rapp (knee) is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday's win over Seattle, and he will get an MRI to confirm that diagnosis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Recovery times for MCL sprains vary, but Rapp will likely be facing a multiweek absence if the MRI confirms the injury. The safety is a key cog on defense for Los Angles, as Rapp had played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in three consecutive games prior to Sunday's injury.... See More ... See Less -
Rams' Taylor Rapp: Leads team in tackles
Rapp posted eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants. Rapp played every defensive snap because Jordan Fuller (shoulder) remained out of the lineup, and he ended up leading the team in tackles for a second straight week. A knee injury has been deemed one of the major causes for Rapp's demotion to a reserve role in favor of Fuller, but perhaps the 2019 second-round pick's recent performance will allow him to retake the starting gig....
