Kamren Kinchens: Everything you need to know

Kinchens recorded 84 tackles (56 solo), six passes defended and two interceptions in 17 games during 2025. The second-year safety saw a noticeable uptick in playing time compared to his rookie year, taking the field in all 17 games and playing at least half of the snaps on defense in every game except Week 7 against Jacksonville. The highlight of Kinchens' sophomore season was Week 11 against Seattle, where he picked off Sam Darnold twice, and he'll look to continue improving alongside a young but formidable defensive core for the Rams in year three.

Kinchens (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Kinchens upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for the earlier portion of the week. The free safety has avoided an injury designation and will continue his streak of participating in every Rams game this year.

Kinchens (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Kinchens missed the first two practices last week but still managed to play in the Week 13 loss to the Panthers, so he appears to be on the right track to play this week versus the Cardinals. The second-year safety has yet to miss a game during his career. He has produced 61 tackles (43 solo), six pass breakups, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries through 12 games this year.
