The Rams placed Reeder (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday. Reeder was unable to practice during the Rams' short week due to a hamstring injury, which appears severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As a result, Reeder will be forced to sit out for at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Eagles on Nov. 24. Michael Hoecht and Omar Speights will use Thursday's game against the Vikings as an opportunity to earn the second starting linebacker job alongside Christian Rozeboom while Reeder is sidelined.

The Rams placed Reeder (hamstring) on injured reserve Thursday. Reeder was unable to practice during the Rams' short week due to a hamstring injury, which appears severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As a result, Reeder will be forced to sit out for at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 12 against the Eagles on Nov. 24. Michael Hoecht and Omar Speights will use Thursday's game against the Vikings as an opportunity to earn the second starting linebacker job alongside Christian Rozeboom while Reeder is sidelined.
Reeder (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report and has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reeder was able to play through a toe injury earlier in the season. However, he was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury, and the 30-year-old linebacker will miss his first game of the season. With Reeder sidelined for Thursday's contest, Michael Hoecht and Omar Speights are the top candidates to start at inside linebacker alongside Christian Rozeboom.
Reeder recorded nine total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders. Reeder finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with safety Quentin Lake, reaching at least eight tackles for the fourth time this season. The linebacker has now produced 46 total tackles (26 solo) and a pass defensed over six games in 2024.
Reeder (toe) wasn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reeder is healthy again after having suffered a toe injury during the team's loss to Chicago last week. The 30-year-old has racked up 33 tackles (20 solo) so far this season, and he will look to produce once again versus the Packers on Sunday.
Reeder racked up seven tackles (five solo) in the Rams' 24-18 loss to Chicago on Sunday. Reeder managed to finish second on the team in tackles despite suffering a toe injury at some point during the game. He will now look to get healthy and produce again versus the Packers next week.
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Reeder (toe) is expected to play Sunday against the Packers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. The Delaware product appears to have sustained a toe injury during the Rams' Week 4 loss to the Bears, despite playing 96-percent of the Los Angeles' defensive snaps and recording seven total tackles. McVay added that he expects Reeder to be limited throughout the Rams' week of practice.
Reeder recorded 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-24 win versus the 49ers. San Francisco rushed the ball 34 times in Week 3, creating plenty of opportunities for Reeder to defend the run. He responded by tying for the team lead in tackles. Given his sizable role in the Rams' defense, he projects as a solid IDP play for the rest of the year.
Reeder recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals. Reeder has started the 2024 campaign with eight combined tackles in back-to-back weeks, giving him 16 on the season. Next up for the Delaware product and the Rams is a Week 3 divisional matchup with the 49ers.
Reeder signed with the Rams on Thursday. Reeder has spent the majority of his career with the Rams and has occupied various roles. Most recently, he's been primarily a special teams contributor and that projects to remain the case in 2024.
