News

  • Cut loose by Rams

    The Rams released Matthews on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Matthews won't see the second season of a two-year, $9.25 million contract, coming off a 2019 campaign with 37 tackles and eight sacks in 13 games. The free-agent market has been friendly to pass rushers this offseason, but Matthews may find that the teams with cap space have already addressed this need. He'll turn 34 in May and needs just 8.5 more sacks to reach 100 for his career.

  • Fades down stretch

    Matthews recorded just a single sack and only 15 tackles (eight solo) over the final seven games of the 2019 season.

    Analysis: After exploding out of the gate for 19 tackles (16 solo) and six sacks through the first five games of the year, Matthews sustained a jaw injury in Week 5 and didn't return until Week 10. He never regained his early-season form, and it was a disappointing finish for the veteran. Matthews will enter the final season of his two-year, $9.25 million contract in 2020.

  • Notches another sack

    Matthews recorded two tackles (both solo) and one sack during Sunday's 34-7 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Matthews is enjoying a strong debut season in Los Angeles, and he's now up to eight sacks across nine contests. The veteran linebacker plays a key role in the Rams' pass rush across from Dante Fowler. He's set for a divisional tilt against the Seahawks in Week 14.

  • Up to 7.5 sacks

    Matthews logged three tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Matthews continues to have a bounce-back year and is now up to 7.5 sacks in only six games played, pacing the Rams. It appears the change of scenery has been good for the veteran, and he should continue to play a large part in the pass rush moving forward. The Rams will take on Mitchell Trubisky and the Bears in Week 11.

  • Full speed ahead

    Matthews (jaw) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McVay stated Matthews would gear up for Sunday's game against the Steelers as long as the practice week went well, so he's slated to play for the first time since Week 5 after a full-speed practice. Matthews has recorded at least one sack in each of his five games this season, generating six in total. He'll now set his sights on Mason Rudolph, who has been sacked just six times over five starts.

  • Practices as limited participant

    Matthews (jaw) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Matthews had been sidelined since undergoing surgery for a broken jaw in early October, but he may be able to return for Week 10. According to Omar Ruiz of NFL Network, coach Sean McVay said the veteran linebacker will play Sunday at Pittsburgh if all goes well at practice this week.

  • Aiming for Week 10 return

    The Rams hope Matthews (jaw) can return to play the Steelers following Week 9's bye, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Matthews broke his jaw in Week 5 against the Seahawks and underwent surgery that reportedly put some metal in his mouth for stability during healing. Coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that "all of that stuff" has been removed and Matthews is "feeling good." Matthews was initially handed a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline, and so Week 10 is a reasonable opportunity to return as it would mark five weeks.

  • Out with broken jaw

    Coach Sean McVay said that Matthews suffered a broken jaw in Thursday's 30-29 loss to the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Matthews is scheduled to undergo surgery and miss around 4-to-6 weeks.

    Analysis: Matthews' injury is a tough break for the Rams' pass rush, given that he had logged six sacks through the team's first five games. Samson Ebukam will likely act as the main replacement for Matthews, stepping into a starting role at outside linebacker opposite Dante Fowler Jr.

  • Continues sack streak

    Matthews had five tackles (four solo) and a sack in Thursday's 30-29 loss at Seattle.

    Analysis: Matthews now has a sack in all five games this season (six sacks total) as he's taken full advantage of the additional attention geared toward Aaron Donald. The veteran linebacker is poised for his most productive season since 2014, which is the last time he reached double-digit sacks.

  • Notches another sack

    Matthews had five tackles (four solo) and one sack in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Jameis Winston dropped back to pass 41 times on Sunday, but the Rams were only able to record two sacks for a loss of nine yards in the game. Matthews has a sack in all four games (five sacks total) this season and has already eclipsed his total from 2018.

  • Two sacks in Cleveland

    Matthews recorded three tackles (all solo), two sacks and a pass defensed across 48 snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Matthews has found new life out in LA, as he now has four sacks on the season -- which already beats his 2018 season total. He is playing in just under a third of the defensive snaps per game this season, but he warrants IDP consideration if he continues getting to the quarterback.

  • Notches second sack

    Matthews made three solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Matthews has shown flashes of his old self through two weeks, registering two sacks and a forced fumble thus far. He'll look to continue his early success in Week 3's road game versus the Browns, as Baker Mayfield has already been dropped eight times this season.

  • Healthy for Week 2

    Matthews (back) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Saints, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Matthews was able to progress nicely throughout the week, going from missing practice Wednesday to limited participation Thursday to practicing fully Friday. Head coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Thursday that the former Packer would be able to suit up Sunday, and that seems to be coming to fruition.

  • Optimistic for Sunday

    Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that he's "optimistic" Matthews (back) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Matthews was also able to get in a limited practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. While it's possible that the team was giving the former Packer a veteran's rest day, his participation in Friday's practice will be worth monitoring. If Matthews can't play Sunday, either Natrez Patrick or Samson Ebukam would fill in for him at outside linebacker.

  • Unable to practice

    Matthews was officially listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.

    Analysis: Matthews logged his first sack as a member of the Rams last week and played 46 defensive snaps in the game, so this news is a bit concerning. Even though the team could be giving the veteran a rest day, the fact that Matthews was unable to practice puts his Week 2 availability up in the air. If he can't go Sunday, Natrez Patrick would be the favorite to see an increase in snaps at outside linebacker.

  • Sack in LA debut

    Matthews made three tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The 33-year-old continues to prove his pass rushing ability, running his career sack total to 84.5 with the sack Sunday. Coming off a career-low sack total in 2018, Matthews could be eager to eager prove he's still among the league's best. It should be tougher sledding for Matthews in Week 2 as Drew Brees and the Saints come to town next Sunday.

  • Signs with Rams

    Matthews will be heading to Los Angeles for the 2019 season after agreeing to a deal with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network

    Analysis: After spending the first decade of his career in Green Bay, Matthews will return to his roots of Southern California and join the Rams. The veteran outside linebacker saw his production drop in recent years, as he posted a career-low 3.5 sacks in 2018 and is coming off consecutive seasons with just 43 tackles. However, he still holds value as an edge rusher when his snaps are limited. He should have no problem carving out a role in the Rams' linebacker rotation in 2019.

  • Drawing interest on open market

    Matthews is drawing "significant interest" on the open market, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Matthews' free-agency tour has reportedly been delayed by the birth of a new child. While it's not clear which teams are specifically interested in the six-time Pro-Bowler, it seems it won't be long until Matthews finds a new home. The odds of him returning to Green Bay drastically diminished after the team was able to lure in outside linebackers Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith this week.

  • Career-low sack total

    Matthews had 43 tackles (29 solo) and 3.5 sacks over 16 games in 2018.

    Analysis: Matthews could have had a couple more sacks if not for some questionable roughing penalties early on, but regardless, he still finished with the fewest sacks of his 10-year career. Matthews will be a free agent in 2019, and it remains to be seen if the Packers will try to bring him back, or if he will spend next season playing with a team other than the one who drafted him in 2009.

  • Another sack Sunday

    Matthews recorded two tackles (one solo), a sack and a forced fumble across 49 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Matthews now has a sack in back-to-back contests, bringing his season total to four -- which is on pace for a career-low. The veteran will look to continue his sack streak against the Jets on Sunday.

  • Posts sack Week 14

    Matthews recorded three solo tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Matthews had been held without a sack in five straight games entering Sunday. The sack gives him 3.5 on the season, which leaves him on pace for the fewest of his career. That being said, he's right on track with his tackle numbers from years past, as he currently boasts 39 through 13 games.

  • Forces fumble in loss

    Matthews had five tackles (three solo) and a forced fumble in Thursday's loss at Seattle.

    Analysis: Matthews jarred the ball loose from running back Chris Carson on the first play from scrimmage, leading to a Packers touchdown. However, he was otherwise fairly quiet. The 32-year-old has only 2.5 sacks despite playing in all 10 games so far in 2018.
