The Los Angeles Rams have one of the most feared defensive lines in the NFL, fueled by a pair of rising stars out of Florida State, Jared Verse and Braden Fiske.

A season after leading the Seminoles to an ACC Championship, Verse and Fiske were crucial pieces as Los Angeles advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

However, the defensive duo collided in a friendly fire incident on Thursday that forced Verse out of practice.

According to Rams head coach Sean McVay, Verse and Fiske bumped knees during a drill. The collision left Verse limping off the field but he's already provided an update on his status.

Known for being a little bit of a comedian, Verse teased fans on socal media after exiting practice.

Shortly after posting a cryptic '...' tweet on social media, Verse was kind enough to let everyone know that he's all good.

"Nah, I'm fine, I'm playing with ya'll," Verse wrote in a now deleted post to Twitter.

It seems like he avoided something serious but Verse probably doesn't want Fiske to know he's the reason that his day ended early.

Verse Had A Notable Rookie Season In Los Angeles

Selected by the Rams with the No. 19 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Verse instantly made a return on the franchise's investment. He was named the league's Defensive Rookie of the Year after posting 66 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two pass deflections.

Verse ended his first year at the professional level by trading jabs with Saquon Barkley. He went toe-to-toe with Hall of Famer Aaron Donald in a workout.

The former Seminole is primed to be even better in year two considering the number of pressures he acculumated last season. If Verse stays healthy, a double-digit sack campaign isn't out of the realm of possibility.
