Hughes was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
The 23-year-old missed the team's Week 15 win over the Seahawks while going through league protocols, but he appears to be in line to return in Week 16 against the Vikings. Hughes has operated mostly as a special-teams option this season, only logging defensive snaps in two out of the seven games he's played in.

The Rams placed Hughes on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Head coach Sean McVay said Hughes is vaccinated, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic. As a result, Hughes could be eligible to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks if he's asymptomatic for a 48-hour period and able to produce two consecutive negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart. Fellow safeties Jordan Fuller and Terrell Burgess were also placed on the list Tuesday.
