Practices fully Thursday
Floyd (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Analysis: Initially injured in Week 2, Floyd took last Wednesday off before fully practicing Thursday and Friday. He appears to be following the same routine this week. Across three starts, the 31-year-old has recorded 3.5 sacks and five QB hits as a weapon off the edge for Buffalo.

Still dealing with injury
Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Floyd has been dealing with the injury since suffering it in the team's Week 2 win over the Raiders, although he did play Sunday against the Commanders. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury or if Wednesday can be viewed more as a maintenance or recovery day for the veteran linebacker. His practice status for Thursday will be worth monitoring and likely bring more clarity to his availability Week 4 against the Dolphins.

Looks good for Sunday
Floyd (ankle) was a full participant at practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington.
Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday, Floyd was able to log a limited session Thursday before finally recording a full practice Friday, setting him up to play in Week 3. He'll look to get back in the sack column by chasing down an inexperienced Sam Howell.

Still on the mend
Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Floyd suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, and it was reported Monday that he is expected to be day-to-day. His status for the pivotal Thursday practice will be worth monitoring, as a return at least to a limited session would heighten his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Commanders.

Day-to-day with ankle
Floyd is day-to-day Monday after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday's 38-10 win versus Las Vegas, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Analysis: Buffalo can breathe a small sigh of relief that the issue doesn't seem to be too serious, but Floyd's availability for Week 3 is now up in the air. The Bills' injury reports throughout the week will shed more light on his status.

Suffers ankle injury Sunday
Floyd left Sunday's win over the Raiders early due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Floyd recorded two tackles (one solo) before exiting. The Bills were in command nearly all game long, so Floyd's departure may have been precautionary.

Records 1.5 sacks in loss
Floyd compiled three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in the Bills' 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets in Week 1.
Analysis: Floyd was a disruptive force in his first game with Buffalo, sacking both Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson (half-sack) in the contest. The 31-year-old recorded 29 sacks over his last three campaigns with the Rams and appears to be picking up where he left off in 2023.

Headed to Buffalo
The Bills signed Floyd to a one-year deal Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Rams were unable to trade Floyd, so they released the pass rusher in March to clear cap space. The 2016 first-round pick recorded 29 sacks over three seasons with Los Angeles and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2017. In Buffalo, Floyd will add depth to a pass-rushing group that already features Von Miller (knee), Shaq Lawson, Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.

Let go Friday
The Rams released Floyd on Friday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As anticipated, Floyd is set to relocate and play out his eighth NFL season elsewhere once the Rams make the transaction official. In addition to winning the Super Bowl in 2021, the 240-pound linebacker amassed at least 55 tackles and nine sacks in each of the three seasons he spent in Los Angeles.

Likely on the move
The Rams are anticipated to release Floyd unless Los Angeles is able to trade him, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Floyd is expected to relocate elsewhere following his three-year stint in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old has tallied at least nine sacks in each of those seasons, and he served as an integral part of the Rams defense during their 2021 Super Bowl run. Floyd has also proven to be an extremely durable and reliable pass rusher over the years, as he's missed only one game across the previous five campaigns.

Nets ninth sack of season
Floyd recorded five tackles (four solo), including a sack, ad two additional quarterback hits during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Floyd was able to consistently make his way to Geno Smith, including a key sack on Seattle's second drive of the day that eventually forced the Seahawks to settle for a field goal after a lengthy drive. The veteran linebacker has carved out a healthy role in his three seasons with the Rams, recording 184 tackles and 29 sacks over that span; with two years left on his current contract, he will look to continue his solid production in 2023.

Playing Sunday
Floyd (illness) is playing Sunday against the Chargers, reports Cameron DaSilva of USA Today.
Analysis: Floyd came into Sunday having missed practice time due to a stomach bug. However, it appears he's recovered enough to suit up Sunday. His availability should be good news for the Rams' linebacker corps.

Questionable for Week 17
Floyd (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Floyd wasn't on Wednesday's injury report and didn't practice Thursday for rest purposes, but he's dealing with a stomach bug that jeopardizes his availability for Week 17. If he's unavailable against the Chargers, Daniel Hardy and Keir Thomas could see increased playing time.

Second straight game with sack
Floyd recorded two solo tackles, including one sack, and was credited with two additional quarterback hits during Sunday's 51-14 victory against the Broncos.
Analysis: A week removed from a two-sack performance against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Floyd added his eighth sack of the season by taking down Russell Wilson early in the fourth quarter. Wilson ended up taking a whopping six sacks, and Floyd and the Rams will look to continue a string of promising performances against the Chargers in Week 17.

Third two-sack game of season
Floyd recorded five tackles (three solo), two sacks, three quarterback hits and two tackles for loss during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Floyd started the sack party on Aaron Rodgers with a key stop on third-and-goal, forcing the Packers to settle for a field goal on their opening drive. In the fourth quarter, Floyd managed another key sack on third down, pushing the Packers out of field goal range and forcing them to punt. Floyd will look to add to the seven sacks he's accrued on the season so far with a depleted Broncos offense coming to town in Week 16.

Two more sacks
Floyd logged two sacks over five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Floyd's two sacks brings his total up to five on the season, all during the last four games. Floyd's sacks were on two different quarterbacks, as he brought down Taysom Hill in the first quarter and Andy Dalton in the fourth quarter. Floyd will have a much tougher task ahead in Week 12, as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs potent offense lie in wait.

Two sacks in losing effort
Floyd logged two sacks over nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Floyd notched his first two sacks of the season while also finishing as the Rams' leading tackler Week 8. The 30-year-old has been a very effective pass rusher since signing with the Rams ahead of the 2020 season, and he could add to his sack total against the Buccaneers' struggling offensive line this coming Sunday.

Active as expected Sunday
Floyd (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 2 clash against the Falcons, Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite missing both Thursday's and Friday's practices, word was positive on Floyd's availability coming into the weekend. His active status is now confirmed, and he'll therefore be available to try and help slow down a Falcons offense that arguably outperformed expectations in a one-point loss to the Saints in Week 1.

Expected to play Sunday
Floyd (knee) is listed as questionable but is slated to play Sunday against the Falcons, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: Floyd didn't practice Thursday or Friday after being limited Wednesday, but it appears he'll still suit up Sunday. Nothing is official yet, so fantasy managers in IDP leagues will likely still have to wait until closer to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff before final confirmation. Assuming Floyd is available, he should retain his usual role as a core piece of Los Angeles' defense.

Considered questionable
Floyd (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Falcons, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Floyd was a non-participant at practice for consecutive days to close out the week after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday, so he is not trending in the right direction. The 30-year-old is nursing a knee issue he picked up in the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills. If he is ultimately unable to give it a go, Keir Thomas would be a likely candidate to replace him at outside linebacker.

Doesn't practice Thursday
Floyd (knee) did not practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After practicing in a limited capacity during Wednesday's practice, Floyd sat out Thursday's session due to his knee injury. While the 30-year-old did play 50 defensive snaps during the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills, he was dealing with a right ankle injury throughout the preseason. Expect Friday's practice report to provide some clarity regarding whether or not Floyd will take the field during Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Dealing with knee issue
Floyd (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Floyd appears to have picked up an unspecified knee injury since the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills this past Thursday. The 30-year-old sat out the entirety of Los Angeles' preseason schedule while dealing with a right ankle issue, but he was ultimately able to record three tackles while playing 50 defensive snaps in Week 1. While it's unclear if this previous injury is at all related to Floyd's current issue, his status will be worth monitoring over the team's subsequent injury…read more

Full participant Monday
Floyd (ankle) fully participated in Monday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Floyd dealt with an ankle injury in early August, and he didn't appear in any of the Rams' preseason games this year. However, he didn't have any limitations during practice Monday and should be good to go for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Bills.

Ankle injury confirmed
Floyd was limited at practice Tuesday after leaving practice early with an ankle injury Monday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It was originally reported Floyd had a "lower half" issue, but head coach Sean McVay confirmed it was an ankle injury. Floyd had offseason surgery on his right ankle, which he originally injured in camp last offseason but played through it. The Rams are expected to remain cautious with Floyd, as he's an important part of their defense.

Leaves field Monday
Rams coach Sean McVay said that the team wanted to be "smart with [Floyd]" after he exited practice early Monday with a "lower half" issue, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Floyd recently returned to football activities at the opening of training camp after he underwent offseason surgery to address a lingering right ankle injury. The veteran pass rusher is coming off the two highest single-season sack marks of his career in 2020 (10.5) and 2021 (9.5). Therefore, it's logical that the Rams would place the utmost priority on keeping Floyd healthy this preseason.

Returns to practice during minicamp
Floyd (ankle) returned to football activities during the Rams' minicamp practices, Jordan Rodrique of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Floyd was in the final stage of his rehab process during OTAs, but it appears he cleared that final hurdle and will be full-go during training camp. The veteran pass rusher dealt with the ankle injury throughout the 2021 campaign and had surgery shortly after the Rams' Super Bowl win.

Recovering from surgery
Floyd said Wednesday that he underwent offseason surgery to address a right ankle injury that dates back to last summer, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Floyd said that he suffered the injury during training camp and added that he is nearly back to full health. Even while apparently playing at less-than-optimal health throughout 2021, the 29-year-old linebacker appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Rams and logged 70 tackles and 9.5 sacks.

Floyd (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After logging a limited practice Friday, Floyd was deemed questionable for Week 17. The 29-year-old pass rusher's presence should be a big boost to the Rams' defense, as he's notched nine sacks across 15 games this season.

Pops up on injury report
Floyd (ankle) was added to the injury report Friday and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Analysis: Floyd was added to the injury report Friday, but he was still able to log a limited practice. That should keep him in position to suit up Sunday against Baltimore, though his status is now in some doubt. Floyd has been a key pass rusher for the Rams all season, posting nine sacks across 15 games.

Bears no injury designation
Floyd (concussion) has no injury status heading into Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Floyd has trended in the right direction all week, putting in a limited practice Thursday and a full one Friday. He'll be out there at his usual starting linebacker spot in Week 12 without having missed a game.

Expected to play after concussion
Coach Sean McVay expects that Floyd (concussion) should be available to play in Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: McVay also revealed that Floyd did indeed suffer a concussion in the Week 10 loss to the 49ers. The Rams had their bye in Week 11, which likely helped the veteran pass rusher recover, but he will still need to get through the protocol for head injuries to be available Sunday. Floyd, the team's leader in sacks with 7.5, could find success if he's active Sunday against a Packers offensive line that may be without both David Bakhtiari (knee) and Elgton Jenkins (torn ACL).

Enjoys two-sack outing
Floyd had three tackles (one solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 38-22 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Floyd now has 6.5 sacks through eight appearances this season, putting him on pace to potentially surpass last year's career-high mark of 10.5 sacks. He will work to keep up his momentum against Ryan Tannehill and a Titans squad operating without Derrick Henry (foot) in Week 9.

Continues solid play against Lions
Floyd recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.
Analysis: The second-year Ram and 2016 first-round selection is having another solid season for Los Angeles. He's up to 32 tackles (16 solo) and 4.5 sacks for the campaign, which positions him as a fringe asset in the majority of fantasy settings.

Gets to QB in win
Floyd produced four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Floyd has handled at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each game this year, so he won't see much of an increase now that Justin Hollins (pectoral) is out of the lineup. The 2016 first-round pick can maintain this production, as he proved with 10.5 sacks last season.

DNP again Thursday
Floyd (ankle) won't take part in practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: For a second consecutive session, Floyd will be a DNP on the Rams' injury report, but he was able to ride a stationary bike in the media access portion of Thursday's practice. Coach Sean McVay told Rodrigue that Floyd hurt his ankle before Week 1, so the current limitations are merely maintenance-related to ensure he avoids an unnecessary setback. The Rams will have a chance to clear up Floyd's status for Week 3 against the Buccaneers as soon as Friday.

Floyd (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Floyd had the ankle issue first crop up in mid-August, and it's apparently still bothersome after he played 82 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 2. The 29-year-old should be able to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay if he can return to practice in the next couple days.

Floyd (ankle) departed Monday's practice early with a slight limp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of Floyd's injury, per Rodrigue, but said the Rams are still evaluating things. After breaking out with a career-high 10.5 sacks in his inaugural campaign in Los Angeles, Floyd has ingrained himself as a key part of the team's defensive front.

Sticking with L.A.
The Rams and Floyd agreed to terms on a four-year, $64 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: During his first four seasons with the Bears, Floyd compiled 18.5 sacks in 54 games, but after breaking out with 10.5 in 16 contests with the Rams he's struck it big. He'll continue to work in tandem with three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald along the L.A.'s fearsome front line.

Destructive in first season in L.A.
Floyd appeared in all 16 regular-season games with the Rams in 2020, setting career-high marks in total tackles (55) and sacks (10.5). He also added two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
Analysis: Not only were Floyd's 10.5 sacks a personal best, but the total was higher than what he posted in his previous two seasons with the Bears combined. Now set to hit free agency following a breakout season, Floyd looks to be in prime position to receive a sizable contract on the open market.

Will suit up against Seattle
Floyd (knee) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Floyd entered the weekend labeled as questionable, but he ultimately showed enough during pregame warmups to earn the nod for a crucial Week 10 divisional clash. He sat out Thursday's practice session entirely, but a return to full participation Friday provided optimism that the linebacker would be able to suit up. With four sacks, 23 tackles and a fumble recovery on the 2020 campaign, Floyd readies for a showdown with Seattle's No. 1 scoring offense.

Breaks out in revenge game
Floyd recorded six tackles (four solo), two sacks and three quarterback hits during Monday's 24-10 win over Chicago.
Analysis: Floyd spent four years with the Bears after being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, so the first-year Ram clearly capitalized on some additional motivation to post his best fantasy showing of the season Monday. It's been an inconsistent start to the campaign for Floyd, but he's playing nearly every defensive snap, and this outing could be a springboard for the coming weeks -- especially with the Los Angeles defense appearing to be trending in the right direction.

Busy in Rams debut
Floyd recorded four tackles (two solo), a sack and a tackle for a loss during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.
Analysis: It was a strong first game with Los Angeles for Floyd. He played 68 of 72 defensive snaps and could prove to be a solid pass rusher for the Rams and potential IDP fantasy target in deeper settings. A fresh start might be just what the 2016 first-round selection needed.

Floyd agreed Wednesday with the Rams on a one-year, $10 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Released by Chicago on Tuesday, the 27-year-old now steps in as a replacement at outside linebacker for Dante Fowler, who is leaving Los Angeles for Atlanta. Teams around the league have been playing musical chairs with pass rushers, and it's hard to sell this as anything but a downgrade for the Rams, though they'll at least save some cap space in the process.

Finishes worst year of career
Floyd posted one stop in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the year with 40 tackles and three sacks.
Analysis: For the second straight year, Floyd played in all 16 games, but, unfortunately, he posted a career-low in sacks and he's never had fewer tackles per game. He'll enter the last season of his five-year contract with the Bears in 2020, but he won't be a recommended fantasy option in typical leagues.

Clear of rib injury
Floyd (ribs) wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Floyd suffered a rib injury during last Thursday's win over the Lions, but it doesn't appear as though the injury will impact his status for this week. The 27-year-old should play his near every-down role Thursday against the Cowboys.

Nursing rib injury
Floyd suffered a rib injury during Thursday's 24-20 win over the Lions, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.
Analysis: The fourth-year linebacker had an X-ray during the game but ended up returning, and he didn't appear hindered, as he logged an 82-percent snap share during the Thanksgiving Day contest. His practice status leading up to this Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys is worth monitoring.

Registers sack
Floyd recorded a sack and six tackles in Chicago's 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Eagles leading this game throughout, they ran the ball 35 times, which led to Floyd posting a season-high in tackles. In addition, his third sack of the season was the first one he's posted since Week 1, and he's been a disappointing fantasy option due to his inability to generate consistent sack numbers.
