Troy Reeder Injury History & Analysis

The Rams have ruled LB Troy Reeder (hamstring) out for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. That'll leave the defense without its top LB. It's not clear who will take over his spot, next to Christian Rozeboom. Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic said Wednesday that she expects to see both Jake Hummel and Omar Speights "get a shot." Rams DC reportedly said the team is "working through" who'll wear the green helmet dot and relay defensive play calls. Rozeboom looks like the only usable Rams LBs in IDP leagues. DL Braden Fiske (back) is questionable for the game as well. We'll check his status Thursday evening.

Rams LB Ernest Jones left Sunday's win over the Vikings with a left ankle injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the team believes he suffered a high-ankle sprain. The early word is that he's "week to week," which means he'll almost certainly miss at least this Sunday's game at Baltimore. With Jones leaving early, Troy Reeder led Rams LBs in playing time at 86%. He'll be a solid-to-good option for IDP lineups in Week 17.
