  • Cut from Indy's practice squad

    The Colts cut Long (groin) from the practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: The move makes room on the Colts' practice squad for Chad Muma and Trey Washington. Long last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Colts, when he mostly played on special teams but did not record a tackle across seven games.

  • Reaches injury settlement

    Long (groin) was released from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement with the Colts on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Long was placed on IR by the Colts on Thursday after suffering a groin injury at practice. The cornerback will now be eligible to sign with a new team and play if he's able to pass a physical down the road.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Colts placed Long (groin) on injured reserve Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With his placement on injured reserve ahead of Week 1, Long will be required to miss the entirety of the 2025 season unless the Colts later cut him with an injury settlement once he's healthy. Long appeared in 13 regular-season games for Indy last season but didn't register a single tackle on 106 special-teams snaps.

  • Re-signs with Indianapolis

    The Colts re-signed Long on Monday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long will remain in Indianapolis after splitting time between the team's practice squad and active roster in 2024. He appeared in 13 games but recorded no stats, playing almost exclusively on special teams (106 of 113 total snaps on special teams). The 27-year-old from Michigan is expected to compete for a depth spot in the Colts secondary while also contributing on special teams throughout the offseason program.

  • Getting promotion to active roster

    Indianapolis signed Long from its practice squad to its active roster Tuesday.

    Analysis: Long has already suited up for both of the Colts' last two games and contributed on special teams, but now he'll have a regular spot on the 53-man depth chart. He's still waiting for his first defensive snap of the season.

  • Released by Giants

    Long was released by the Giants on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Long registered five total tackles (four solo) with New York during the preseason, but he'll now look for an opportunity elsewhere. The cornerback played in 14 games with the Panthers, Packers and Raiders in 2023, and he'll likely find another suitor in the near future.

  • Missing time with injury

    Long (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's preseason game at Houston because of an injury he sustained before the game, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: At this point, there are no details available regarding the type of issue Long is dealing with or how serious it might be. Either way, if he remains unavailable, it could open up additional chances for Christian Holmes to make an impression.

  • Finds new home

    Long signed a contract with the Giants on Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After four years with the Rams, the 2019 third-round selection spent time with the Packers, Panthers and Raiders in 2023, appearing in a total of 14 games. He'll now look to lock down a reserve role in the secondary as he heads to the Big Apple.

  • Claimed by Green Bay

    Long was claimed off waivers by the Packers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Long was waived by Carolina on Friday and he has now quickly found a new home in Green Bay. The cornerback has combined to record 19 tackles and a pass deflection over 11 total games between the Raiders and Panthers this season. With Jaire Alexander (shoulder) missing the last four games and seven total contests this season, Long will provide the Packers with some additional depth in their secondary.

  • Waived by Carolina

    The Panthers waived Long on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Long played a season-high 92 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps against Tennessee in Week 12 and led the team with seven tackles, but his services have been deemed no longer needed with CJ Henderson having cleared concussion protocol and Shaquill Griffin claimed off waivers Thursday. Long's exit could also mean that Jaycee Horn (hamstring) is close to returning off IR after logging a trio of limited practices this week.

  • Leads team with seven stops Week 12

    Long secured seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Long was called upon to start with CJ Henderson (concussion) sidelined, and he responded with a season-high seven stops. Long hadn't gotten much of an opportunity in his previous two games since joining the Panthers on Nov. 3, totaling just eight defensive snaps. It's unclear if Henderson will be able to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to return Week 13 in Tampa Bay -- if he can't, Long could be in line for another start.

  • Slated to start

    Long is set to start at cornerback in Sunday's game versus the Titans, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With CJ Henderson (concussion) sidelined, Long will get the opportunity to start at corner opposite Donte Jackson. He spent the first eight weeks of the season in Las Vegas before getting waived and subsequently claimed by the Panthers.

  • Picked up by Carolina

    The Panthers claimed Long off waivers Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Long spent the first eight weeks of the season with Las Vegas, tallying 15 tackles and one pass defended while playing sporadically. The 25-year-old was then waived by the Raiders on Thursday, but he didn't have to wait long before getting picked up by Carolina, which is currently dealing with a banged-up secondary. Long played 776 defensive snaps over his final two seasons with the Rams in 2021 and 2022. That experience could quickly earn him a spot behind top cornerbacks CJ Henderson, Donte…read more

  • Ready for MNF

    Long (ankle) is officially active for the Raiders' matchup with the Packers on Monday Night Football.

    Analysis: Long will be back in action after exiting the team's 24-17 Week 4 loss to the Chargers early with an ankle injury. With Nate Hobbs (ankle) and Jakorian Bennett (hamstring) unavailable Monday, the cornerback will likely step into a starting role versus Green Bay.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Long's (ankle) status has been downgraded to out, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Long will not return against the Chargers on Sunday after logging three tackles (three solo) and a pass deflection. The 25-year-old was filling in for Nate Hobbs (ankle), and with both corners now out, Jakorian Bennett and Amik Robertson should see upticks in their play time.

  • Joins Vegas

    Long signed a one-year contract with the Raiders on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Long will head to Las Vegas after spending the first four years of his career with the Rams. The 25-year-old played in 12 games last season, recording 21 tackles (18 solo) and a pass breakup while playing a rotational role in the secondary. He should bolster the depth of the Las Vegas secondary and possibly compete for a starting role.

  • Set to return

    Long (groin) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Denver, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long has missed each of the Rams' last two games, though managed a pair of limited practices before turning in a full session Friday. He'll be set to return to a depth role in the team's secondary.

  • Ruled out Monday

    Long (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Packers, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Long will now miss his second straight game after injuring his groin back in Week 13. With the 24-year-old now out, the Rams will rely on Cobie Durant and Robert Rochell in order to back up starters Jalen Ramsey and Troy Hill.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Long (groin) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long played 51 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, so it remains to be seen if he's aggravated the same groin injury that caused him to miss three games back in September and October. After Thursday's contest, Long will get the benefit of extra time to rest up before a Week 15 game against Green Bay on Monday Night Football.

  • Returns in full

    Long (groin) was a full participant during the Rams' practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday after missing the Rams' previous three games with a lingering groin injury, though he appears to be fully healthy again after participating in full Thursday. The 5-foot-11 cornerback played at least 70 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps in each of the first two weeks. Long should step back into a starting role opposite Jalen Ramsey for Sunday's game against Carolina.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Long (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Long returned to practice in a limited fashion last Wednesday after sitting out the previous two weeks with a lingering groin injury, though he was still ruled inactive for Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Therefore, it's likely the 24-year-old will need to log at least one full practice Thursday or Friday in order to suit up again for the Ram's Week 6 matchup versus Carolina. With Long sidelined, cornerbacks Grant Haley and Derion Kendrick have taken on bigger roles in Los Angeles' banged-up…read more

  • Sidelined Sunday

    Long (groin) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Long will miss his third straight game due to a lingering groin injury after returning to practice in a limited fashion during this week's practices. With fellow cornerback Cobie Durant (hamstring) also ruled inactive, expect Grant Haley, Robert Rochell and Derion Kendrick to all step into bigger roles in the Rams' banged-up secondary.

  • Chance to play Week 5

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Long (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long has been ruled out for back-to-back games due to a groin issue, but he's returned to practice in a limited fashion and has a shot play in Week 5. With Troy Hill (groin) on IR, Long would be a candidate to step into a starting role if he's ultimately deemed available.

  • Back at practice Wednesday

    Long (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Long logged his first limited practice since being ruled out with a groin injury in Week 3, which kept him sidelined during Monday's loss to the 49ers as well. With the 24-year-old sidelined, reserve cornerback Grant Haley and rookie Derion Kendrick have taken on more prominent roles in the Rams' secondary. Long recorded seven tackles over the first two weeks of the season, and he should step back into a starting role opposite Jalen Ramsey when healthy.

  • Out for MNF

    Long (groin) will be sidelined for Monday's game against the 49ers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Long was absent at practice during the week, so this decision is not surprising. The absence will mark his second straight while he continues to nurse a groin injury. As a result, some combination of Grant Haley and Robert Rochell figure to fill in for him at cornerback.

  • Still nursing injury

    Long (groin) did not practice Thursday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Long was unable to practice to finish out last week, then was ruled out Friday for Week 3. He'll likely need to practice before the week is over to suit up Monday against the 49ers. If he's unable to play, Grant Haley may be inline to see extra opportunity.

  • Ruled out for Week 3

    Long (groin) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official Twitter reports.

    Analysis: Long will miss Sunday's contest after he showed up on the injury report Wednesday with a groin issue. With both Troy Hill (groin) and Cobie Durant (hamstring) unavailable for the game as well, the Rams will be thin in their secondary as they take on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Shaun Jolly was signed on Thursday and will likely step into a significant role in Week 3.

  • Unable to practice Thursday

    Long (groin) was unable to practice for the Rams on Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long landed on the Rams' injury report for the first time this season Wednesday with an unspecified groin injury. With both Troy Hill (groin) and rookie Cobie Durant (hamstring) having suffered injuries in Week 2, Long's availability will be crucial for the Rams' secondary in Week 3. The team signed defensive back Shaun Jolly on Thursday, and he could see a solid workload if Long is unable to suit up Sunday.

  • Lands on injury report

    Long (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Long recorded four tackles while playing 41 defensive snaps during Sunday's 31-27 win against the Falcons, but he is now dealing with an unspecified groin injury after appearing on the Rams' injury report for the first time this season. The starting cornerback's availability will prove very important for Los Angeles after Troy Hill (groin) and rookie Cobie Durant (hamstring) both suffered injuries in Week 2.

  • Clear of injury report

    Long (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long had a pick-six during Monday's win over the Cardinals before leaving with the knee injury, but coach Sean McVay said the cornerback is "doing good," per Brady Henderson of ESPN. Barring a setback, it appears the 23-year-old will be able to play in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Buccaneers.

  • Injury appears minor

    Long (knee) appears to have suffered a minor injury Monday night, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback left Monday's wild-card win over the Cardinals early with a knee injury, but the initial feedback on the issue is positive according to head coach Sean McVay. Long's status at practice this week will be worth monitoring ahead of the team's divisional-round game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  • Suffers knee injury

    Long is questionable to return to Monday's wild-card matchup against Arizona after suffering a knee injury.

    Analysis: Long suffered the injury just before halftime and walked slowly off the field prior to having his left knee examined on the training table, per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic. He made his mark on the game earlier in the first half when he picked off an ill-advised Kyler Murray pass and returned it for a score. If Long is unable to return, the Rams' secondary will be very short-handed with Taylor Rapp (concussion) and Jordan Fuller (ankle) also sidelined.

  • Healthy going into Week 14

    Long (illness) did not appear on the injury report Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback was inactive for the team's Week 13 win over the Jaguars while dealing with the illness. Long has made 26 tackles, deflected three passes and intercepted a pass in 11 games this season.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Long (illness) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Long didn't practice at all this week, so his status comes as no surprise. The cornerback didn't play any defensive snaps during the Rams' Week 12 loss to the Packers, so his absence likely won't impact Los Angeles' defensive rotations.

  • Off injury report

    Long (cramping) isn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Long was forced to go into the locker room during Sunday night's season-opening win as he suffered with cramps. The cornerback is no longer on the Rams' injury report and should be able to play in Sunday's Week 2 battle with the Colts.

    Published: Wed, Sep 15 at 6:06pm by Rotowire.com

  • Battling cramps

    Long (cramping) is probable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Long went to the locker room in the third quarter, but he's likely to return soon based on this update. Rookie Robert Rochell slid into Long's spot and should remain there until Long -- who picked off Andy Dalton in the end zone earlier -- returns.
