News

  • Going to Atlanta

    Floyd is slated to sign a one-year, $10 million contract with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Floyd, who was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, quickly finds a new home with Atlanta, a team in dire need of a boost in the pass rush. The veteran edge rusher, who has tallied 8.5 or more sacks in five consecutive seasons, joins the Falcons as an immediate starter for the team.

  • Being cut by San Francisco

    The 49ers are slated to release Floyd, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Floyd, who tallied 8.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games (all starts) with San Francisco in 2024, will hit the free-agent market and likely generate a fair amount of interest. If designated as a post-June 1 release, the decision to cut Floyd will save the 49ers roughly $7.95 million against the cap.

  • Finishes 2024 with 8.5 sacks

    Floyd totaled 42 tackles (25 solo), including 8.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

    Analysis: After tying a career high in sacks (10.5) during the 2023 regular season with the Bills, Floyd opted to sign a two-year, $20 million contract with the 49ers in March of 2024. It looked like he was going to match or surpass that mark after reaching 8.5 sacks through 13 games, but he failed to record a sack over the final four games of the season. Floyd managed to play in every single regular-season game in 2024, which extended his active-game streak to 116 contests dating back to Week 1 of the…read more

  • Ready to rock

    Floyd (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Analysis: Floyd appeared to be in jeopardy of missing the 49ers' regular-season finale after opening the week of practice with consecutive DNPs due to a shoulder injury. However, the veteran edge rusher upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. Floyd has yet to miss a game this season and is expected to start opposite Nick Bosa as part of San Francisco's top defensive end duo in Week 18.

  • Unavailable for practice

    Floyd (shoulder) did not participate at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Floyd suffered a shoulder injury in Monday night's 40-34 loss to the Lions and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at the team's first practice ahead of Week 18. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice before Sunday's regular-season finale versus Arizona.

  • Deemed day-to-day

    Floyd is considered day-to-day due to the shoulder injury he suffered in Monday's Week 17 loss to Detroit, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was hurt in the first half of Monday's contest and was subsequently announced as questionable to return, though he did retake the field shortly thereafter. The veteran defensive end finished the defeat having logged just 13 defensive snaps, however, which was by far his lowest mark of the season. The 49ers are out of playoff contention, so they may elect to rest Floyd in Week 18 against Arizona if the shoulder issue is more than minor.

  • Back in game

    Floyd (shoulder) is back on the field in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Floyd returned to the game in the second quarter shortly after exiting due to a shoulder injury. His shoulder will likely be monitored as the team nears half, but he's looking good to go at this point in the outing.

  • Questionable to return

    Floyd (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Floyd went down with a shoulder injury in the first half of the contest. Whether the 32-year-old defensive end returns is unknown, but he may be held out at least until the half. Yetur Gross-Matos will now likely fill in at defensive line for the veteran starter.

  • Sacks Williams twice in Week 14

    Floyd registered 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Floyd has logged 2.0 sacks in two of the 49ers' last three games. Both of his sacks on Caleb Williams came in the first half of Sunday's game and combined for an 11-yard loss. Floyd has registered 5.5 sacks in the five games since the 49ers' Week 9 bye, and on the season he's registered 36 tackles (20 solo), including 8.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

    Analysis: The defensive end is up to 6.5 sacks on the year. He has 32 total tackles (17 solo), as well as a pass defensed and a forced fumble. Floyd has also played on more than half of the defensive snaps in every game this season.

  • Posts 1.5 sacks in Week 11 loss

    Floyd tallied three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in a loss to Seattle on Sunday.

    Analysis: Floyd split a sack with Nick Bosa on Seattle's first offensive series and added a solo sack on the Seahawks' final drive late in the fourth quarter. It was the first time this season that the veteran pass rusher has gotten to the quarterback more than once in a game. On the campaign, Floyd has tallied 28 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 10 games.

  • Records sack in defeat

    Floyd finished with five tackles (one solo), including a tackle for a loss and 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The defensive end also played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps for the seventh time in seven games this season. Floyd has 22 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024.

  • Gets second sack of season Week 5

    Floyd logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 24-23 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: Floyd registered his second sack of the season Sunday as he got to Kyler Murray for a six-yard loss on the first play of the third quarter. Floyd played 36 snaps on defense in Week 5, and his snap count could increase slightly over the coming weeks after Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Through the first five games of the regular season, Floyd recorded 15 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

  • Logs sack vs. Jets

    Floyd recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks during Monday night's 32-19 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Floyd got to Aaron Rodgers in the second quarter of Monday night's affair and was the only 49er to log a sack in Week 1. The 2016 first-round pick inked a two-year, $20 million contract with San Francisco after posting 32 total tackles, including 10.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games with the Bills in 2023. Expect Floyd to be a force in San Francisco's pass-rush unit as the team travels to Minnesota in Week 2.

  • Not on injury report

    Floyd (knee) was not listed on the 49ers' injury report Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was considered day-to-day after suffering the injury during San Francisco's preseason game Aug. 25. The starting defensive end appears in line to assume his role Monday night in the season opener against the Jets. Floyd signed a two-year, $20-million contract with the 49ers in the offseason after recording 10.5 sacks for the Bills during the 2023 regular season.

  • Day-to-day with knee injury

    Floyd is considered day-to-day after sustaining a knee injury in Friday's preseason game against the Raiders, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Floyd left in the first quarter of Friday's game after a teammate landed on his right leg during a pass play. He appears to have avoided serious injury, and he should be good to go for the 49ers' regular-season opener against the Jets on Sept. 9.

  • Won't return after injury

    Floyd (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's preseason contest versus Las Vegas, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was hurt in the first quarter when a teammate landed on his right leg during a passing play. The veteran defensive end was evaluated in the locker room and has since been ruled out for the remainder of the game. However, he was later spotted on the 49ers sideline and appeared to be moving fine, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, so Floyd may have avoided a serious injury.

  • Exits preseason finale with injury

    Floyd is questionable to return to Friday's exhibition contest versus the Raiders due to a right knee injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was injured during the 49ers' second defensive series when his right leg was landed on by a teammate. He initially limped off the field to the medical tent before walking slowly to the locker room to be checked out. Floyd is slated to be a big part of San Francisco's pass rush after signing a two-year, $20 million contract in the offseason. He tied his career high with 10.5 sacks as a member of the Bills last year.

  • Heading to San Fran

    Floyd agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the 49ers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Floyd is coming off a one-year stint with the Bills that saw him tie a career high with 10.5 sacks among his 32 tackles (21 solo) while adding one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 17 games. The 31-year-old has demonstrated durability by not missing a game during the previous six seasons and now projects to provide edge-rush assistance opposite Nick Bosa.

  • On track to play Sunday

    Floyd (ribs) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Floyd did not participate at practice Wednesday, but it looks like the Bills were probably just giving him extra rest. He projects to start on the edge Sunday at Miami, and he's half a sack away from a career-best season in that category.

  • Sits out first Week 18 practice

    Floyd (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: The Bills attributed Floyd's absence to rest in addition to the rib injury, so he was likely just getting some maintenance as Buffalo began Week 18 prep. The veteran edge rusher is fully expected to be available this Sunday for a matchup with the Dolphins.

  • Ready for Saturday

    Floyd (ribs/wrist) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Floyd was held to limited work in practice throughout the week, but it now seems as if he's been able to move past his wrist and rib issues. The 31-year-old defensive end has been a monster for Buffalo's defense thus far, starting all 14 of the team's games and recording 27 total tackles, including 10.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Floyd (ribs/wrist) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Floyd handled about his typical workload in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, including recording a sack, bringing his total to 10.5 on the season. However, the veteran edge rusher picked up a couple of injuries in the process, which should make his status over the next few days leading up to Saturday's game with the Chargers worth monitoring.

  • Achieves season-high sack total

    Floyd recorded four tackles (three solo) including 2.5 sacks in Sunday's 32-6 win versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Floyd logged two-plus sacks for the second time this season, putting him within half a sack of the second double-digit sack year of his career. He probably won't see quite so many pass-rushing opportunities in Week 12 at Philadelphia, but he remains a viable IDP option anyway.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Floyd (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Initially injured in Week 2, Floyd took last Wednesday off before fully practicing Thursday and Friday. He appears to be following the same routine this week. Across three starts, the 31-year-old has recorded 3.5 sacks and five QB hits as a weapon off the edge for Buffalo.

  • Still dealing with injury

    Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Floyd has been dealing with the injury since suffering it in the team's Week 2 win over the Raiders, although he did play Sunday against the Commanders. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury or if Wednesday can be viewed more as a maintenance or recovery day for the veteran linebacker. His practice status for Thursday will be worth monitoring and likely bring more clarity to his availability Week 4 against the Dolphins.

  • Looks good for Sunday

    Floyd (ankle) was a full participant at practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington.

    Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday, Floyd was able to log a limited session Thursday before finally recording a full practice Friday, setting him up to play in Week 3. He'll look to get back in the sack column by chasing down an inexperienced Sam Howell.

  • Still on the mend

    Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Floyd is day-to-day Monday after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday's 38-10 win versus Las Vegas, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Buffalo can breathe a small sigh of relief that the issue doesn't seem to be too serious, but Floyd's availability for Week 3 is now up in the air. The Bills' injury reports throughout the week will shed more light on his status.

  • Suffers ankle injury Sunday

    Floyd left Sunday's win over the Raiders early due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Floyd recorded two tackles (one solo) before exiting. The Bills were in command nearly all game long, so Floyd's departure may have been precautionary.

  • Records 1.5 sacks in loss

    Floyd compiled three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in the Bills' 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets in Week 1.

    Analysis: Floyd was a disruptive force in his first game with Buffalo, sacking both Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson (half-sack) in the contest. The 31-year-old recorded 29 sacks over his last three campaigns with the Rams and appears to be picking up where he left off in 2023.

  • Headed to Buffalo

    The Bills signed Floyd to a one-year deal Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Let go Friday

    The Rams released Floyd on Friday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: As anticipated, Floyd is set to relocate and play out his eighth NFL season elsewhere once the Rams make the transaction official. In addition to winning the Super Bowl in 2021, the 240-pound linebacker amassed at least 55 tackles and nine sacks in each of the three seasons he spent in Los Angeles.

  • Likely on the move

    The Rams are anticipated to release Floyd unless Los Angeles is able to trade him, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Floyd is expected to relocate elsewhere following his three-year stint in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old has tallied at least nine sacks in each of those seasons, and he served as an integral part of the Rams defense during their 2021 Super Bowl run. Floyd has also proven to be an extremely durable and reliable pass rusher over the years, as he's missed only one game across the previous five campaigns.

  • Nets ninth sack of season

    Floyd recorded five tackles (four solo), including a sack, ad two additional quarterback hits during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: 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.

    Floyd (illness) is playing Sunday against the Chargers, reports Cameron DaSilva of USA Today.

    Analysis: Floyd came into Sunday having missed practice time due to a stomach bug. However, it appears he's recovered enough to suit up Sunday. His availability should be good news for the Rams' linebacker corps.

  • Questionable for Week 17

    Floyd (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Second straight game with sack

    Floyd recorded two solo tackles, including one sack, and was credited with two additional quarterback hits during Sunday's 51-14 victory against the Broncos.

    Analysis: A week removed from a two-sack performance against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Floyd added his eighth sack of the season by taking down Russell Wilson early in the fourth quarter. Wilson ended up taking a whopping six sacks, and Floyd and the Rams will look to continue a string of promising performances against the Chargers in Week 17.

  • Third two-sack game of season

    Floyd recorded five tackles (three solo), two sacks, three quarterback hits and two tackles for loss during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Floyd started the sack party on Aaron Rodgers with a key stop on third-and-goal, forcing the Packers to settle for a field goal on their opening drive. In the fourth quarter, Floyd managed another key sack on third down, pushing the Packers out of field goal range and forcing them to punt. Floyd will look to add to the seven sacks he's accrued on the season so far with a depleted Broncos offense coming to town in Week 16.

  • Two more sacks

    Floyd logged two sacks over five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Floyd's two sacks brings his total up to five on the season, all during the last four games. Floyd's sacks were on two different quarterbacks, as he brought down Taysom Hill in the first quarter and Andy Dalton in the fourth quarter. Floyd will have a much tougher task ahead in Week 12, as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs potent offense lie in wait.

  • Two sacks in losing effort

    Floyd logged two sacks over nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Floyd notched his first two sacks of the season while also finishing as the Rams' leading tackler Week 8. The 30-year-old has been a very effective pass rusher since signing with the Rams ahead of the 2020 season, and he could add to his sack total against the Buccaneers' struggling offensive line this coming Sunday.

    Floyd (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 2 clash against the Falcons, Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Despite missing both Thursday's and Friday's practices, word was positive on Floyd's availability coming into the weekend. His active status is now confirmed, and he'll therefore be available to try and help slow down a Falcons offense that arguably outperformed expectations in a one-point loss to the Saints in Week 1.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Floyd (knee) is listed as questionable but is slated to play Sunday against the Falcons, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Considered questionable

    Floyd (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Falcons, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was a non-participant at practice for consecutive days to close out the week after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday, so he is not trending in the right direction. The 30-year-old is nursing a knee issue he picked up in the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills. If he is ultimately unable to give it a go, Keir Thomas would be a likely candidate to replace him at outside linebacker.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Floyd (knee) did not practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After practicing in a limited capacity during Wednesday's practice, Floyd sat out Thursday's session due to his knee injury. While the 30-year-old did play 50 defensive snaps during the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills, he was dealing with a right ankle injury throughout the preseason. Expect Friday's practice report to provide some clarity regarding whether or not Floyd will take the field during Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

  • Dealing with knee issue

    Floyd (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Floyd appears to have picked up an unspecified knee injury since the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills this past Thursday. The 30-year-old sat out the entirety of Los Angeles' preseason schedule while dealing with a right ankle issue, but he was ultimately able to record three tackles while playing 50 defensive snaps in Week 1. While it's unclear if this previous injury is at all related to Floyd's current issue, his status will be worth monitoring over the team's subsequent injury…read more

  • Full participant Monday

    Floyd (ankle) fully participated in Monday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Floyd dealt with an ankle injury in early August, and he didn't appear in any of the Rams' preseason games this year. However, he didn't have any limitations during practice Monday and should be good to go for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Bills.

  • Ankle injury confirmed

    Floyd was limited at practice Tuesday after leaving practice early with an ankle injury Monday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It was originally reported Floyd had a "lower half" issue, but head coach Sean McVay confirmed it was an ankle injury. Floyd had offseason surgery on his right ankle, which he originally injured in camp last offseason but played through it. The Rams are expected to remain cautious with Floyd, as he's an important part of their defense.

  • Leaves field Monday

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Floyd (ankle) returned to football activities during the Rams' minicamp practices, Jordan Rodrique of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was in the final stage of his rehab process during OTAs, but it appears he cleared that final hurdle and will be full-go during training camp. The veteran pass rusher dealt with the ankle injury throughout the 2021 campaign and had surgery shortly after the Rams' Super Bowl win.

  • Recovering from surgery

    Floyd said Wednesday that he underwent offseason surgery to address a right ankle injury that dates back to last summer, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Floyd said that he suffered the injury during training camp and added that he is nearly back to full health. Even while apparently playing at less-than-optimal health throughout 2021, the 29-year-old linebacker appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Rams and logged 70 tackles and 9.5 sacks.

  • Will be available Sunday

    Floyd (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After logging a limited practice Friday, Floyd was deemed questionable for Week 17. The 29-year-old pass rusher's presence should be a big boost to the Rams' defense, as he's notched nine sacks across 15 games this season.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Floyd (ankle) was added to the injury report Friday and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Floyd was added to the injury report Friday, but he was still able to log a limited practice. That should keep him in position to suit up Sunday against Baltimore, though his status is now in some doubt. Floyd has been a key pass rusher for the Rams all season, posting nine sacks across 15 games.

    Floyd (concussion) has no injury status heading into Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Floyd has trended in the right direction all week, putting in a limited practice Thursday and a full one Friday. He'll be out there at his usual starting linebacker spot in Week 12 without having missed a game.

  • Expected to play after concussion

    Coach Sean McVay expects that Floyd (concussion) should be available to play in Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McVay also revealed that Floyd did indeed suffer a concussion in the Week 10 loss to the 49ers. The Rams had their bye in Week 11, which likely helped the veteran pass rusher recover, but he will still need to get through the protocol for head injuries to be available Sunday. Floyd, the team's leader in sacks with 7.5, could find success if he's active Sunday against a Packers offensive line that may be without both David Bakhtiari (knee) and Elgton Jenkins (torn ACL).

  • Enjoys two-sack outing

    Floyd had three tackles (one solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 38-22 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Floyd now has 6.5 sacks through eight appearances this season, putting him on pace to potentially surpass last year's career-high mark of 10.5 sacks. He will work to keep up his momentum against Ryan Tannehill and a Titans squad operating without Derrick Henry (foot) in Week 9.

  • Continues solid play against Lions

    Floyd recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.

    Analysis: The second-year Ram and 2016 first-round selection is having another solid season for Los Angeles. He's up to 32 tackles (16 solo) and 4.5 sacks for the campaign, which positions him as a fringe asset in the majority of fantasy settings.

  • Gets to QB in win

    Floyd produced four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Floyd has handled at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each game this year, so he won't see much of an increase now that Justin Hollins (pectoral) is out of the lineup. The 2016 first-round pick can maintain this production, as he proved with 10.5 sacks last season.

    Floyd (ankle) won't take part in practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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. The Rams will have a chance to clear up Floyd's status for Week 3 against the Buccaneers as soon as Friday.

    Analysis: Floyd had the ankle issue first crop up in mid-August, and it's apparently still bothersome after he played 82 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 2. The 29-year-old should be able to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay if he can return to practice in the next couple days.

    Floyd (ankle) departed Monday's practice early with a slight limp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of Floyd's injury, per Rodrigue, but said the Rams are still evaluating things. After breaking out with a career-high 10.5 sacks in his inaugural campaign in Los Angeles, Floyd has ingrained himself as a key part of the team's defensive front.

    The Rams and Floyd agreed to terms on a four-year, $64 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: During his first four seasons with the Bears, Floyd compiled 18.5 sacks in 54 games, but after breaking out with 10.5 in 16 contests with the Rams he's struck it big. He'll continue to work in tandem with three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald along the L.A.'s fearsome front line.

    Floyd appeared in all 16 regular-season games with the Rams in 2020, setting career-high marks in total tackles (55) and sacks (10.5). He also added two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.

    Analysis: Not only were Floyd's 10.5 sacks a personal best, but the total was higher than what he posted in his previous two seasons with the Bears combined. Now set to hit free agency following a breakout season, Floyd looks to be in prime position to receive a sizable contract on the open market.

    Analysis: Floyd went to the hospital Friday as a precautionary measure after experiencing abdominal pain. The Rams didn't provide further details. If he's ultimately inactive for Sunday's divisional tilt, Justin Hollins likely will start in Floyd's place, while Ogbonnia Okoronkwo could enjoy a substantial increase in reps.

    Floyd (knee) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Floyd entered the weekend labeled as questionable, but he ultimately showed enough during pregame warmups to earn the nod for a crucial Week 10 divisional clash. He sat out Thursday's practice session entirely, but a return to full participation Friday provided optimism that the linebacker would be able to suit up. With four sacks, 23 tackles and a fumble recovery on the 2020 campaign, Floyd readies for a showdown with Seattle's No. 1 scoring offense.

If he suffers a setback and is ultimately ruled out, however, Terrell Lewis (shoulder), who is also considered questionable, would be next up while Jachai Polite could get some reps as well.

  • Breaks out in revenge game

    Floyd recorded six tackles (four solo), two sacks and three quarterback hits during Monday's 24-10 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Released by Chicago on Tuesday, the 27-year-old now steps in as a replacement at outside linebacker for Dante Fowler, who is leaving Los Angeles for Atlanta. Teams around the league have been playing musical chairs with pass rushers, and it's hard to sell this as anything but a downgrade for the Rams, though they'll at least save some cap space in the process.

    Floyd posted one stop in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the year with 40 tackles and three sacks.

    Analysis: For the second straight year, Floyd played in all 16 games, but, unfortunately, he posted a career-low in sacks and he's never had fewer tackles per game. He'll enter the last season of his five-year contract with the Bears in 2020, but he won't be a recommended fantasy option in typical leagues.

    Floyd recorded a sack and six tackles in Chicago's 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Eagles leading this game throughout, they ran the ball 35 times, which led to Floyd posting a season-high in tackles. In addition, his third sack of the season was the first one he's posted since Week 1, and he's been a disappointing fantasy option due to his inability to generate consistent sack numbers.
