Hampton (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Hampton suffered a torn pectoral in the team's Week 15 win over the 49ers, so his move to IR was an expected one. The linebacker will now shift his focus to being ready to go for the 2025 campaign.
Hampton tore his pectoral Thursday against San Francisco and will need season-ending surgery, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Hampton was hurt around the middle of the fourth quarter and did not return. Further evaluation determined that the second-year linebacker tore his pec, and he won't be able to play again until next season. Hampton will finish the 2024 campaign with three tackles (two solo) and a defensed pass while logging 10 defensive snaps and 229 special-teams snaps over 14 contests.
Hampton (chest) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the 49ers. The outside linebacker did not record a stat before exiting. Hampton has played mostly on special teams this season, making three tackles (two solo).
