Rams DL Aaron Donald has announced his retirement after 10 NFL seasons. He won three defensive player of the year awards, 2014 defensive rookie of the year, and eight first-team All-Pro honors. The coming season will be the Rams' first without Donald in the lineup since 2013. From 2014-2023, he missed just nine total regular-season games. L.A. will obviously be hard-pressed to ever find another D-lineman near Donald's level. Expect them to look for help in that area with the 19th pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, though.

Rams LB Ernest Jones (illness) is active for today's game against the Giants. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.

Rams LB Ernest Jones missed Friday's practice with an illness and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants. HC Sean McVay said he expects Jones to play, though, according to multiple reports. We'll watch for confirmation, but expect to have Jones available for your IDP lineups.

The Rams have added DT Aaron Donald to the injury report. He's questionable for tomorrow's game against the Commanders because of "tightness in his groin," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We've knocked Donald down the Week 15 DL rankings. If he's out for the game, the Rams' defense would become a riskier play with likely a lower fantasy ceiling.

Tams edge players Byron Young (knee) and Michael Hoecht (knee) are active for today's game against the Ravens. Both guys turned up questionable but are available as low-level IDP options if you were hoping to use them.

Rams Edge Michael Hoecht (knee) is active for today's game against the Browns. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.

The Rams have ruled LB Ernest Jones (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Packers. He missed practice all week after playing through "questionable" tags the previous three games with the same issue. Jones' absence should leave Christian Rozeboom as the Rams' top LB, and we've moved him into LB3 territory in the Week 9 rankings. Troy Reeder looks like the next guy up to join him but isn't a good IDP bet. If he takes on Rozeboom's role, Reeder would fill in for a player who has been on the field for 57.8% of defensive snaps through eight games.

Rams LB Ernest Jones (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He played through the same issue the past two games, though, and managed limited practices all week. We're betting Jones will play.

Rams LB Ernest Jones (back) is active for today's game against the Seahawks. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.

The Rams have already ruled DL Aaron Donald out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Donald might very well miss games beyond that, as he's dealing with a high-ankle sprain. We'll see what else comes from the team on that front. Missing Donald clearly damages the Rams defense vs. both the pass and the run. It's tough to say how much, because it'll be the 1st time in his career Donald has missed a game with injury. He previously sat out Week 1 of 2017 because of a contract dispute and then missed the regular-season finale that year after the team clinched.

Rams DL Aaron Donald suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. HC Sean McVay said Monday that his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks is "TBD," according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Losing Donald would obviously significantly impact the L.A. defense. We'll watch his status this week.
