Inks deal with Baltimore
Noteboom signed a contract with the Ravens on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom spent his first seven seasons with the Rams, starting 35 of 71 career regular-season games. He suited up for only four regular-season contests last year, however, as he dealt with an ankle injury throughout the campaign. Noteboom will likely serve as depth along the offensive line for Baltimore next season.
Nov 21, 2024
Past ankle injury
Noteboom (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom has missed the Rams' last two games due to an ankle injury, though it appears he is trending towards playing Sunday against the Eagles. If Rob Havenstein (ankle) is unable to play, Noteboom and Warren McClendon would be the top candidates to start at right tackle.
Nov 17, 2024
Ruled out for Week 11
Noteboom (ankle) has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom aggravated his ankle injury in Week 10 against the Dolphins, which caused him to miss practice all week. His next chance to suit up will be Week 12 against Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov. 24. With Noteboom and Havenstein (ankle) both sidelined, Warren McClendon is the top candidate to start at right tackle in Week 11.
Nov 15, 2024
Likely missing Week 11
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Noteboom (ankle) is considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom opened the Rams' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after playing in just his second game of the season during Los Angeles' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins. Warren McClendon will likely start at right tackle with Rob Havenstein (ankle) and Noteboom both expected to be sidelined Sunday.
Nov 5, 2024
Activated off IR
The Rams activated Noteboom (ankle) from injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was placed on injured reserve following the Rams' Week 1 overtime loss to the Lions due to a high-ankle sprain. Now that he's back on the active roster, Noteboom could start at right tackle in Week 10 against the Dolphins if starter Rob Havenstein (ankle) is sidelined.
Nov 2, 2024
Remains out in Week 9
Noteboom (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom returned to practice on Oct. 16, but he'll remain sidelined in Week 9 as he continues to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in Week 1. The offensive tackle will need to be activated from injured reserve by Wednesday or he'll remain sidelined for the rest of the season.
Oct 23, 2024
Won't be activated ahead of Week 8
Noteboom (ankle) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, but he has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom has been out since Week 1 due to a high-ankle sprain, and he was designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 16. Despite logging a full practice Wednesday, he won't suit up for Thursday's game, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Week 9 against the Seahawks on Nov. 3.
Oct 22, 2024
Full participant Tuesday
Noteboom (ankle) was listed as a full participant at the Rams' practice Tuesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom had his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 16 and Tuesday's session marked his first full participation since then. With Los Angeles set to play the Vikings on Thursday Night Football, the offensive tackle will look to make his return to the field. Noteboom has been out since Week 1 while recovering from a high-ankle sprain.
Oct 16, 2024
Designated to return from IR
Noteboom (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he logged a limited practice session, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom suffered an ankle injury against the Lions in Week 1 and was subsequently placed on IR. The offensive tackle has since missed the required four games and is eligible to return to action as soon as this Sunday versus Las Vegas. Whether Noteboom is able to suit up for that game could gain clarity based on his practice participation Thursday and Friday.
Sep 11, 2024
Sent to IR
The Rams placed Noteboom (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom's earliest possible return date will be Oct. 10 versus the Raiders, given that he'll have to miss at least the next four games while on IR. In addition to the depth tackle, Los Angeles placed left guard Steve Avila (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday. That leaves the team's starting O-line notable depleted while preparing to take on the Cardinals on the road on Sunday.
Sep 9, 2024
Likely missing time
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Noteboom sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Lions and will miss a few weeks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom left Sunday night's affair after sustaining an ankle injury, and it now appears he'll miss a couple of weeks following McVay's comments Monday. The Rams' offensive line was depleted even before Noteboom's injury, but this puts the unit in an even worse position. AJ Arcuri and Warren McClendon are now the only two tackles on Los Angeles' active roster without injury designations or suspensions.
Sep 8, 2024
Questionable to return
Noteboom (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom picked up an ankle injury in the second quarter of the contest and his status for the rest of the game is up in the air. AJ Arcuri replaced him at right tackle for Los Angeles.
Jan 14, 2024
Will play wild-card game
Noteboom (foot) is active for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Lions, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was held out of the Rams' regular-season finale against the 49ers after he re-aggravated his foot injury in Week 17 against the Giants. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday after missing the previous two sessions. Noteboom will move back into the starting left tackle spot for Sunday's contest.
Jan 7, 2024
Inactive for Week 18
Noteboom (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom had been listed as doubtful heading into the regular-season finale after he was unable to practice in any fashion this week while tending to a foot issue that had previously resulted in him making some appearances on the injury report in December. The injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, but the Rams will hold Noteboom out for Week 18 while the team is already assured a road game in the wild-card round of the postseason. If Noteboom is back in action for the wild-card round, he would likely serve as the team's starting left tackle.
Jan 3, 2024
No go for regular season finale
Noteboom (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom made his return from a foot injury in Week 16 versus the Saints and he was available for the last two contests, but he'll now be forced to miss the team's regular season finale against the 49ers. Warren McClendon will now step into the primary backup role at offensive tackle in Week 18.
Dec 21, 2023
Active Thursday
Noteboom (foot) is active for Thursday's game against the Saints, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The offensive lineman was listed as a non-participant all week on the Rams' practice estimates, but he entered Thursday with a questionable tag. Noteboom has started seven of the 12 games he's played in this season, but he should return to a backup role with Rob Havenstein back from a groin injury and set to start at right tackle.
Dec 20, 2023
Iffy for Thursday
Noteboom (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Saints, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom has been listed as a DNP all week on the Rams' injury report, but the six-year pro will still have a chance to suit up in Week 16. If he's unable to play, it should only impact the Rams' offensive line depth with Rob Havenstein (groin) cleared to play and set to take back over at right tackle.
Dec 18, 2023
Listed as DNP
Noteboom (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Commanders, leaving his status for Thursday's game against the Saints in question. His practice status Tuesday and Wednesday could be worth monitoring with Rob Havenstein still dealing with a groin injury, which kept him out of action for Week 15.
Oct 20, 2023
Available Sunday
Noteboom (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old lineman missed the Rams' last two games with a groin injury, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Noteboom was able to fully participate in Friday's practice and he's expected to start at right guard this coming Sunday.
Oct 15, 2023
Unavailable Sunday
Noteboom (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom logged a limited session Friday, but he'll remain sidelined for Week 6, marking back-to-back absences. Kevin Dotson figures to draw another start at right guard.
Oct 13, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Noteboom (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Arizona, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom has been trending in the right direction to play this coming Sunday, as he went from no participation in Wednesday and Thursdays practices to limited work Friday. If the 28-year-old were to miss his second consecutive game, Kevin Dotson would be the likely replacement at right guard.
Oct 6, 2023
Out Sunday
Noteboom (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Adam Grosbard of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom will be sidelined for Sunday's contest due to a groin issue that held him out of practice all week. Los Angeles will likely start Kevin Dotson at right guard in Noteboom's stead.
Sep 27, 2023
Full participant in practice
Noteboom (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom left Monday's loss to the Bengals early with a knee injury but appears to have overcome it. The Rams will be glad to have the 2018 third-round pick back so they don't have to worry about being without a left tackle for the second straight week, as backup tackle Alaric Jackson was also injured last week.
Sep 26, 2023
Exits early
Noteboom (knee) was forced out of Monday's loss to the Bengals early due to a knee injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Noteboom's injury is currently unknown. His backup, Alaric Jackson (thigh), also left the game early, which left the team's offensive line thin on depth. More clarity on his status will for Week 4 will come when the team releases the initial injury report Wednesday.
Sep 23, 2023
Logs full practice
Noteboom (shoulder) was a full participant at Friday's practice, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was limited Thursday due to a bruised shoulder, but he seems to have put that behind him. He is now in line to take on his usual role protecting Matthew Staffod's blind-side at left tackle.
Sep 18, 2023
Dealing with shoulder bruise
Noteboom suffered a deep bruise in his shoulder against the 49ers on Sunday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom existed Sunday's game with a shoulder injury that's now being described as a deep bruise. Head coach Sean McVay said that he expects the 28-year-old to be able to play against the Bengals on Monday, but if he's not good to go Alaric Jackson will likely start instead.
Sep 17, 2023
Hurts shoulder in Week 2 loss
Noteboom suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was replaced by Tremayne Anchrum at left tackle after walking off the field with athletic trainers. Further details on the severity of Noteboom's injury should surface before the Rams travel to Cincinnati on MNF next week.
Sep 6, 2023
Taken off injury report
The Rams removed Noteboom (undisclosed) from the injury report Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Notebook was reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury over the past several weeks but now appears to be healthy once again. The 28-year-old is set to start at left tackle after missing all of last season with a torn Achilles.
Aug 16, 2023
Dealing with setback
Noteboom (undisclosed) will not practice the remainder of the week, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom is, "dealing with a little something right now," according to head coach Sean McVay. The 28-year-old was able to participate in individual drills Wednesday, but McVay added that he, "didn't have any more information than that right now." Noteboom was competing for the starting left tackle job in camp, although these setbacks may derail his progress in nailing down a starting job. He'll now have to turn his focus to getting healthy.
Aug 1, 2023
Competing for starting left tackle
Noteboom (Achilles) has been competing for the starting left tackle position throughout Rams camp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom missed the entirety of the 2022 season with an Achilles injury but has since had the offseason to get past the issue. The veteran lineman signed a $40 million contract extension in 2022 that he's reworked to save $9 million in cap this year. He'll be competing with Alaric Jackson, who filled in for Noteboom the first half of the year before getting hurt himself. The Rams have been splitting reps evenly so far, but they'll soon have to decide between the guy they paid and the younger player ahead of the coming season.
Jun 8, 2023
Slowly recovering
Noteboom (Achilles) has been limited throughout Los Angeles' OTAs, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters how "awesome" it will be to have the 2022 starting left tackle back fully participating once again, but still didn't give a timetable for his return. Noteboom has played five years for the Rams and appeared in 53 games over that time period. Barring any setbacks, expect the veteran to compete for a starting spot on LA's offensive line once he's healthy.
Oct 18, 2022
Moves to IR
The Rams placed Noteboom (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom will soon undergo surgery to address the torn Achilles' tendon he suffered in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers and will be sidelined for the rest of the season as a result. In the 321-pounder'svabsence, the Rams could opt to shift veteran Rob Havenstein to left tackle and place one of AJ Jackson or Bobby Evans at right tackle.
Oct 17, 2022
Confirms torn Achilles
Noteboom sustained a ruptured Achilles during Sunday's win versus Carolina and will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a major blow to a Rams offensive line that could already ill-afford to lose any talent. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Rams shift veteran Rob Havenstein to Matthew Stafford's blindside and place one of AJ Jackson or Bobby Evans at right tackle.
Oct 16, 2022
Facing possible Achilles injury
Head coach Sean McVay said there's concern that Noteboom suffered an Achilles injury during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was carted off in the first half of Sunday's contest versus Carolina with what could be an Achilles injury, and he was unable to return. If the 321-pounder misses time, Bobby Evans is slated to claim a starting spot on the Rams' offensive line. Los Angeles' bye is Week 7, so Noteboom's next opportunity to take the field won't be until Week 8 against the 49ers.
Oct 16, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Noteboom (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was carted off the field with an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's matchup, and he'll be unable to return down the stretch. The Rams have a Week 7 bye, and it's not yet clear whether the 2018 third-rounder will be available for the team's game against San Francisco on Oct. 30.
Oct 16, 2022
Carted off Sunday
Noteboom (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom had to be taken off the field on a cart after going down during the first half, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. The 27-year-old left tackle inked a three-year, $40 million contract extension with the Rams this offseason, and he is one of just two offensive linemen to start all six games for the team this season. With Noteboom out, expect Bobby Evans to step in to protect quarterback Matthew Stafford's blindside.
Sep 18, 2022
Will play Sunday
Noteboom (knee) will play Sunday against the Falcons, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom logged limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday's session. The five-year-pro should continue to start at left tackle for the Rams.
Mar 14, 2022
Lands sizeable extension
Noteboom (chest) agreed to terms on a three-year, $40 million contract with the Rams on Monday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom's contract includes $25 million in guarantees, and with incentives the deal could be worth a total of $47.5 million. The 2018 third-round pick, who suffered a pectoral strain during Los Angeles' divisional-round win over the Buccaneers, has proven capable of playing both tackle and guard, but his future on the team is likely as Andrew Whitworth's eventual successor. If the 40-year-old Whitworth decides to retire, Noteboom will be the favorite to line up at left tackle Week 1.
Feb 11, 2022
Placed on IR
Noteboom (chest) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom sustained a pectoral injury during the Rams' divisional-round win over Tampa Bay and was subsequently sidelined for the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. In his absence, Alaric Jackson is expected to be the primary backup left tackle to Andrew Whitworth.
Jan 30, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Noteboom (chest) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom sustained a pectoral injury late in last week's divisional-round win over Tampa Bay, and he'll be unavailable against the 49ers. However, Andrew Whitworth will be back in action and will draw the start at left tackle.
Jan 24, 2022
Suffered injury Sunday
Noteboom suffered a pectoral strain late in the Rams' win over the Buccaneers on Sunday according to head coach Sean McVay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom was filling in for Andrew Whitworth who missed the game due to a knee injury. With Whitworth on track to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Noteboom would likely be looking at a reserve role if he is able to suit up.
Dec 28, 2021
Clears COVID protocols
Noteboom was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Noteboom has provided depth for the Rams this season at offensive tackle. With starting left tackle Andrew Whitworth currently in COVID protocols, it's possible Noteboom could have a larger role than usual Sunday against Baltimore, if Whitworth can't clear protocols in time.
Dec 19, 2021
Lands on COVID list
Noteboom (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear whether Noteboom tested positive for the virus or if he's considered a close contact, though he'll be unavailable until he clears the health and safety protocols regardless.
