Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Fiske will need a "minor procedure" on the knee that he injured during the Rams' NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles this past Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. McVay added that the surgery won't affect Fiske's availability for the beginning of the 2025 season. Fiske injured his knee while sacking Jalen Hurts in the first half of this past Sunday's game, and it was serious enough for him not to return. The 2024 second-round pick led all rookies during the regular season with 8.5 sacks and finished with 44 tackles (20 solo), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games. Fiske was also named as one of the five finalists for the AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Fiske will need a "minor procedure" on the knee that he injured during the Rams' NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles this past Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. McVay added that the surgery won't affect Fiske's availability for the beginning of the 2025 season. Fiske injured his knee while sacking Jalen Hurts in the first half of this past Sunday's game, and it was serious enough for him not to return. The 2024 second-round pick led all rookies during the regular season with 8.5 sacks and finished with 44 tackles (20 solo), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games. Fiske was also named as one of the five finalists for the AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Fiske (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's NFC divisional-round matchup against the Eagles. Fiske injured his knee after recording a sack in the first half. The standout rookie's absence will leave the Rams without one of their best interior pass rushers, though defensive end Kobie Turner and outside linebacker Jared Verse will still pose dangerous threats versus the Eagles. The nature and severity of Fiske's injury are still unclear, so it will be worth monitoring his health if the Rams win versus Philadelphia and advance to next Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Commanders.
Fiske is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional-round game against Philadelphia with a knee injury. Fiske sacked Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, but he came off the field hobbling. The 2024 second-round pick has been an immediate impact player for the Rams, tallying 44 tackles with 8.5 sacks and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games. With Fiske sidelined, expect Tyler Davis and/or Desjuan Johnson to step up on the Rams' defensive line.
Fiske talled 2.0 sacks during the Rams' 13-9 win over the Cardinals on Saturday. Both of Fiske's sacks came in the first half of Saturday's game. His first takedown of Kyler Murray was for a 17-yard loss midway through the first quarter, and Fiske followed that up with an eight-yard sack on Murray on the final play of the second quarter. Fiske -- the rookie second-round pick out of Florida State -- is up to 8.0 tackles through 16 regular-season games, and he has a shot at reaching double digits during the Rams' regular-season finale against the Seahawks next Sunday.
Fiske recorded four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for losses, in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Seahawks. The defensive tackle also played on at least half of the defensive snaps for the eighth time in eight games this season. Fiske has 26 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 2024.
Fiske (back) is active for Thursday night's contest against the Vikings, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Fiske was limited at practice Wednesday with the back injury he's been nursing for a couple weeks, but he is now a full go for Week 8. The 24-year-old will operate in his traditional role as a starter on the defensive line with Los Angeles.
Fiske (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Fiske took advantage of the Rams' Week 6 bye to heal up from a shoulder injury and suit up against the Raiders on Sunday, during which he logged two tackles across 45 snaps (38 on defense, seven on special teams). However, he came out of that contest with a back injury, and he was listed as a DNP on Monday and Tuesday. Fiske's ability to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday has earned him a questionable tag heading into Thursday's game, though whether he'll suit up will likely not be known until the Rams' inactive list is announced 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
Fiske (shoulder) was not listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Fiske injured his shoulder in Week 5 against the Packers, but the bye week gave the rookie second-round pick extra time to heal up. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Fiske has registered 18 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries through five regular-season games.
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Fiske is dealing with a sore shoulder following Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Fiske recorded three total tackles across 33 snaps (29 defensive and four on special teams) in Sunday's loss, but following McVay's comments Monday, it appears he sustained a shoulder injury in the process. Fortunately for Fiske, the Rams are one of four teams with a Week 6 bye, so he will have until Oct. 20 to recover from this issue.
