Rams Injury Tracker: Every Injury Update From Training Camp

The main priority for the Los Angeles Rams throughout training camp is to stay healthy. If the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl, keeping their stars healthy will be key. While the Rams haven’t had too many injuries throughout training camp, there are a few to note and keep track of over the coming weeks.

Every Rams injury-related update that details something about a player will be kept here to keep you up to date throughout training camp and the preseason.

WR Puka Nacua

August 17

It was initially expected that the Rams would have Nacua back this week. However, the Rams' wide receiver continues to be limited to work on the side and held out of practice. McVay shifted the timeline to next week.

"Whether or not we wait for next week or not, we're just taking it a day at a time," said McVay. Puka still has some soreness there. Any time you're talking about a soft tissue, especially with a skilled player, we're going to err on the side of caution."

Nacua's injury remains one that the Rams are erring on the side of caution. Nacua was left the joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys and then was held out of Thursday's practice. The Rams are expecting him back next week.

"Puka's doing well," said McVay. "He just had a little soreness in his psoas so we're just being smart with him. We're expecting to be back next week ready to go"

August 11

Rams wide receiver left the joint practice against the Cowboys around 45 minutes early. Head coach Sean McVay didn't have an update at the time. However, the Rams will hope for the best when it comes to their star player,

Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice with the training staff. Sean McVay says he has no update on what happened.

NFL Media's Ian Rapoport later reported that it was nothing major for Nacua and that he was only dealing with minor soreness in his groin. The Rams have erred on the side of caution with injuries throughout the summer. That appears to be the case with Nacua.

EDGE Myles Garrett

August 17-18

The Rams continue to take it day-by-day with Garrett as they err on the side of caution with the swelling in his knee. McVay noted on Monday that they are hoping to get him back next week. Until then, Garrett continues to be limited to work on the side and help out of practice.

August 13

The swelling in Mules Garrett's knee is going to be something worth monitoring leading up the season. As Garrett has missed time, the Rams have remained adamant that it's nothing to be concerned about long-term.

"He's feeling good. I think it's more along the lines of getting to know him and once he gets back to that return to performance," said McVay. "He's making really good positive strides. As far as when he'll be back, we want to make sure that that's when it's truly 100%."

August 11

Edge rusher Myles Garrett continues to deal with some lower-body soreness. Garrett missed the joint practice against the Cowboys with swelling in his knee. McVay noted that Garrett was 85 percent and the team is simply taking a cautious approach.

“We just erred on the side of caution,” said McVay. “He wanted to be able to be out there, but we want to make sure that when he returns to play, he's able to return to full performance and feel like himself. There's nothing to be concerned about. It was just us erring on the side of caution.”

Myles Garrett did not practice because of a knee issue. Puka Nacua did not finish practice, McVay said, though he said he did not know the reason.

August 5

Myles Garrett returned to the field after missing the previous three practices during training camp. The Rams were simply playing it safe with Garrett has he enters Year 10 in the NFL.

“I feel good. I'm allowed to get sore,” said Garrett. “Every now and then I get a bump or bruise. They're just trying to make sure I get back to 100 percent.”

August 2

Throughout training camp, the Rams have been managing their veteran players and giving them rest days. However, those have typically been scheduled and resulted in the player only missing one practice. Garrett has missed the last three practices with what McVay described as soreness in his lower half.

“We're erring on the side of being smart with him,” said McVay. “We want to make sure that he feels as good as possible.”

McVay was adamant that Garrett being held out of practice was to keep him fresh. While it makes sense to be cautious at this point in the offseason, this is also how Matthew Stafford’s back saga started last year. Garrett missing the last three practices may be nothing, but it’s also noteworthy.

TE Davis Allen

August 17

Allen has missed the last two weeks of practice with a soft tissue injury. The Rams feel confident about his status for Week 1 and he could be back within the next week.

"He is making good progress. He’s able to start doing some different things," said McVay. "I would expect him to be back within the next week. We don't feel like, unless there’s a setback, there isn’t any threat to the San Francisco game."

August 3

While tight end Davis Allen started training camp healthy, he has missed the last four practices due to a soft-tissue injury. However, it sounds like the Rams aren’t expecting Allen back anytime soon and are going to give him some time to recover.

“He's got a little soft tissue [problem], like a quad,” said McVay. “We'll be day-to-day with him, week-to-week, but we'll give him some time. You don't want to rush him back.”

Allen is expected to be a big part of what the Rams do this season as they lean into more 12 and 13 personnel on offense. He’s also entering a contract season heading into year four.

OT Keagen Trost

August 17

Trost injured his hamstring in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs and was taken out. McVay said on Monday that it will likely be a few weeks for Trost. With Trost out, the Rams' depth on the offensive line, especially at tackle, will be tested. The Rams will hope he's ready for Week 1.

iOL Justin Dedich

August 17

Dedich missed the entirety of training camp and has spent time on the NFI list as he manages a hand injury that he suffered over the fourth of July. The hope is for Dedich to be ready by Week 1 as he is arguably the most important depth piece on the interior of the offensive line.

"He's good. He is actually able to start doing some different things where he'll put a cast on that will allow him to be able to participate," said McVay. "Now, whether or not we take him off the NFI (Non-Football Injury) list and he actually starts rejoining us, we're going to see how he feels doing some different things."

July 28-29

The Rams have managed to stay mostly healthy on the offensive line, but they have been without one of their top depth pieces in Justin Dedich. Dedich has missed time with a hand injury that’s kept him out during training camp. He was placed on the NFI list until he recovers.

“He had a hand accident around the 4th of July and so that's what's keeping him out for now,” said McVay. While McVay clarified that the injury wasn’t fireworks-related he did note that they are, “expecting him to be back in a little bit of time.”

With Dedich set to miss time, the Rams signed Bill Murray and Blake Hance to provide some depth on the offensive line.

OT Alaric Jackson

July 29

Alaric Jackson missed practice last week, but it seems like it was something that was planned. Jackson has dealt with blood clots in his legs in the past and is something that he and the team continue to manage.

“Just taking his medicine for some of the stuff with blood clots,” said McVay. So just managing that, like what we've always been able to do…It was exclusively just managing the medicine for the situation he's dealt with for the last year."

There doesn’t seem to be anything to be concerned about, but it is something to note.. Jackson also missed Monday’s practice for the same reason. It seems like the Rams are on top of the situation which is important.

EDGE Byron Young

July 27-28

The Rams have been managing several players throughout training camp, with quarterback Matthew Stafford having scheduled off days. Wide receiver Davante Adams has been in that category as well. Last week, edge rusher Byron Young was held out of practice as the team manages his knee.

“We have guys that have accumulated a bunch of snaps and the goal is let's be proactive instead of reactive,” said McVay. “We’ve got a plan to just take some time and get back out there in a couple of days,” added Young.

Young did note that it’s the same knee that he injured in the playoffs last year and that it’s something that he’s been dealing with for years. The Rams seem to have a plan to manage his workload and keep him fresh heading into the regular season.

Other Notes

The Rams have a management plan for Matthew Stafford during training camp with him practicing on every second and fourth day of their blocks. As Stafford heads into year 18, it’s simply about keeping him fresh. There aren’t any active concerns with his back.
Davante Adams is another player the Rams have been managing through training camp. “We've got to pull them back and protect them from [themselves] because they just want to work,” said McVay. These types of veteran rest days are normal.
