Leonard Floyd Injury News & Updates
Nov 23, 2025
Green light to play Week 12
Floyd (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Floyd missed the Falcons' last two games due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran edge rusher has been cleared to return for Sunday's NFC North clash. Floyd's return means less defensive snaps will be available for Arnold Ebiketie and James Pearce.
Nov 21, 2025
Could return Sunday
Floyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd has missed each of Atlanta's last two games due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Week 9 loss to the Patriots. However, following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return for Sunday's divisional matchup. If active, Floyd will operate as one of the Falcons' top edge rushers.
Nov 14, 2025
Ruled out for Week 11
Floyd (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 9 against the Patriots. Arnold Ebiketie and James Pearce could see additional opportunities at outside linebacker alongside rookie first-round pick Jalon Walker. Floyd's next chance to play will come in Week 12 at New Orleans.
Nov 12, 2025
Still absent
Floyd (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was held out of Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Colts and remains sidelined to begin the next week of preparation. That doesn't bode well for his availability in Week 11 against the Panthers, though his status should become clearer as the week progresses.
Nov 6, 2025
Won't suit up Week 10
Floyd has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indianapolis in Berlin, Germany due to a hamstring injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd suffered a hamstring injury Sunday against New England and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week. With the Falcons scheduled to fly to Berlin, Germany on Thursday night ahead of Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Atlanta decided to have Floyd stay home and thus have already ruled him out. Arnold Ebiketie could be in line for more defensive snaps than usual Sunday in Floyd's absence.
Nov 5, 2025
Misses Wednesday's practice
Floyd (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd sustained a hamstring injury during the Falcons' Week 9 loss to the Patriots and was unable to return. He sat out of the first practice of Week 10 prep, but the veteran will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts in Germany. Arnold Ebiketie and rookie first-rounder James Pearce would be in line for more snaps in Week 10 if Floyd is not cleared to play.
Nov 2, 2025
Questionable to return Sunday
Floyd (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The edge rusher did not record a stat before exiting. Arnold Ebiketie is his backup.
Nov 2, 2025
Good to go Sunday
Floyd (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd didn't practice Wednesday but logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday before drawing a questionable tag. He's yet to miss a game this season, but his last sack came in Week 4 against Washington. Floyd may see slightly fewer snaps, as rookie Jalon Walker (groin) will be active after missing the past two games.
Oct 31, 2025
Questionable for Week 9
Floyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Georgia product upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing in the Week 9 contest. However, if Floyd is forced to miss Sunday's matchup due to a hamstring injury, expect rookie James Pearce to operate as one of Atlanta's top edge rushers.
Mar 11, 2025
Going to Atlanta
Floyd is slated to sign a one-year, $10 million contract with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd, who was released by the 49ers on Tuesday, quickly finds a new home with Atlanta, a team in dire need of a boost in the pass rush. The veteran edge rusher, who has tallied 8.5 or more sacks in five consecutive seasons, joins the Falcons as an immediate starter for the team.
Mar 11, 2025
Being cut by San Francisco
The 49ers are slated to release Floyd, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd, who tallied 8.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games (all starts) with San Francisco in 2024, will hit the free agent market and likely generate a fair amount of interest. If designated as a post-June 1 release, the decision to cut Floyd will save the 49ers roughly $7.95 million against the cap.
Jan 8, 2025
Finishes 2024 with 8.5 sacks
Floyd totaled 42 tackles (25 solo), including 8.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games.
ANALYSIS
After tying a career high in sacks (10.5) during the 2023 regular season with the Bills, Floyd opted to sign a two-year, $20 million contract with the 49ers in March of 2024. It looked like he was going to match or surpass that mark after reaching 8.5 sacks through 13 games, but he failed to record a sack over the final four games of the season. Floyd managed to play in every single regular-season game in 2024, which extended his active-game streak to 116 contests dating back to Week 1 of the 2018 season when he played for the Bears.
Jan 3, 2025
Ready to rock
Floyd (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd appeared to be in jeopardy of missing the 49ers' regular-season finale after opening the week of practice with consecutive DNPs due to a shoulder injury. However, the veteran edge rusher upgrade to full participation Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. Floyd has yet to miss a game this season and is expected to start opposite Nick Bosa as part of San Francisco's top defensive end duo in Week 18.
Jan 1, 2025
Unavailable for practice
Floyd (shoulder) did not participate at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Floyd suffered a shoulder injury in Monday night's 40-34 loss to the Lions and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at the team's first practice ahead of Week 18. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice before Sunday's regular-season finale versus Arizona.
Dec 31, 2024
Deemed day-to-day
Floyd is considered day-to-day due to the shoulder injury he suffered in Monday's Week 17 loss to Detroit, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was hurt in the first half of Monday's contest and was subsequently announced as questionable to return, though he did retake the field shortly thereafter. The veteran defensive end finished the defeat having logged just 13 defensive snaps, however, which was by far his lowest mark of the season. The 49ers are out of playoff contention, so they may elect to rest Floyd in Week 18 against Arizona if the shoulder issue is more than minor.
Dec 22, 2024
Back in game
Floyd (shoulder) is back on the field for the 49ers, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd returned to the game in the second quarter shortly after exiting due to a shoulder injury. His shoulder will likely be monitored as the team nears half, but he's looking good to go at this point in the outing.
Dec 22, 2024
Questionable return due to shoulder
Floyd (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd went down with a shoulder injury in the first half of the contest. Whether the 32-year-old defensive end returns is unknown, but he may be held out at least until the half. Yetur Gross-Matos will now likely fill in at defensive line for the veteran starter.
Dec 9, 2024
Sacks Williams twice in Week 14
Floyd registered 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Floyd has logged 2.0 sacks in two of the 49ers' last three games. Both of his sacks on Caleb Williams came in the first half of Sunday's game and combined for an 11-yard loss. Floyd has registered 5.5 sacks in the five games since the 49ers' Week 9 bye, and on the season he's registered 36 tackles (20 solo), including 8.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.
Nov 25, 2024
Picks up two sacks in loss
Floyd finished with four solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end is up to 6.5 sacks on the year. He has 32 total tackles (17 solo), as well as a pass defensed and a forced fumble. Floyd has also played on more than half of the defensive snaps in every game this season.
Nov 18, 2024
Posts 1.5 sacks in Week 11 loss
Floyd tallied three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in a loss to Seattle on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Floyd split a sack with Nick Bosa on Seattle's first offensive series and added a solo sack on the Seahawks' final drive late in the fourth quarter. It was the first time this season that the veteran pass rusher has gotten to the quarterback more than once in a game. On the campaign, Floyd has tallied 28 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 10 games.
Oct 22, 2024
Records sack in defeat
Floyd finished with five tackles (one solo), including a tackle for a loss and 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end also played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps for the seventh time in seven games this season. Floyd has 22 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024.
Oct 8, 2024
Gets second sack of season Week 5
Floyd logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 24-23 loss to Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Floyd registered his second sack of the season Sunday as he got to Kyler Murray for a six-yard loss on the first play of the third quarter. Floyd played 36 snaps on defense in Week 5, and his snap count could increase slightly over the coming weeks after Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Through the first five games of the regular season, Floyd has recorded 15 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
Sep 11, 2024
Logs sack vs. Jets
Floyd recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sack during Monday night's 32-19 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Floyd got to Aaron Rodgers in the second quarter of Monday night's affair and was the only 49er to log a sack in Week 1. The 2016 first-round pick inked a two-year, $20 million contract with San Francisco after posting 32 total tackles, including 10.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games with the Bills in 2023. Expect Floyd to be a force in San Francisco's pass-rush unit as the team travels to Minnesota in Week 2.
Sep 5, 2024
Not on injury report
Floyd (knee) was not listed on the 49ers' injury report Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was considered day-to-day after suffering the injury during San Francisco's preseason game Aug. 25. The starting defensive end appears in line to assume his role Monday night in the season opener against the Jets. Floyd signed a two-year, $20-million contract with the 49ers in the offseason after recording 10.5 sacks for the Bills during the 2023 regular season.
Aug 25, 2024
Day-to-day with knee injury
Floyd is considered day-to-day after sustaining a knee injury in Friday's preseason game against the Raiders, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd left in the first quarter of Friday's game after a teammate landed on his right leg during a pass play. He appears to have avoided serious injury, and he should be good to go for the 49ers' regular-season opener against the Jets on Sept. 9.
Aug 24, 2024
Won't return after injury
Floyd (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's preseason contest versus Las Vegas, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was hurt in the first quarter when a teammate landed on his right leg during a passing play. The veteran defensive end was evaluated in the locker room and has since been ruled out for the remainder of the game. However, Floyd was later spotted on the 49ers sideline and appeared to be moving around OK, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, so he may have avoided a serious injury.
Aug 23, 2024
Exits preseason finale with injury
Floyd is questionable to return to Friday's exhibition contest versus the Raiders due to a right knee injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was injured during the Raiders' second offensive series when his right leg was landed on by a teammate. He initially limped off the field to the medical tent before walking slowly to the locker room to be checked out. Floyd is slated to be a big part of San Francisco's pass rush after signing a two-year, $20 million contract in the offseason. He tied his career high with 10.5 sacks as a member of the Bills last year.
Mar 11, 2024
Heading to San Fran
Floyd agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the 49ers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd is coming off a one-year stint with the Bills that saw him tie a career-high 10.5 sacks to go along with 32 tackles (21 solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 17 games. The 31-year-old has demonstrated durability by not missing a game during the previous six seasons, and now projects to provide edge-rush assistance opposite Nick Bosa.
Jan 4, 2024
On track to play Sunday
Floyd (ribs) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Floyd did not participate at practice Wednesday, but it looks like the Bills were probably just giving him extra rest. He projects to start on the edge Sunday at Miami, and he's half a sack away from a career-best season in that category.
Jan 3, 2024
Still dealing with injury
Floyd (ribs) was listed as limited on the Bills' injury report Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd is still working through a rib ailment, although he appears to have recovered from the wrist injury, which kept him limited through Week 17 prep before he ultimately suited up against the Patriots. Assuming he hasn't aggravated the injury and avoids any setbacks, he's likely closer to probable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Dec 21, 2023
Ready for Saturday
Floyd (ribs/wrist) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was held to limited work in practice throughout the week, but it now seems as if he's been able to move past his wrist and rib issues. The 31-year-old defensive end has been a monster for Buffalo's defense thus far, starting all 14 of the team's games and recording 27 total tackles, including 10.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.
Dec 19, 2023
Pops up on injury report
Floyd (ribs/wrist) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Floyd handled about his typical workload in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, including recording a sack, bringing his total to 10.5 on the season. However, the veteran edge rusher picked up a couple of injuries in the process, which should make his status over the next few days leading up to Saturday's game with the Chargers worth monitoring.
Nov 21, 2023
Achieves season-high sack total
Floyd recorded four tackles (three solo) including 2.5 sacks in Sunday's 32-6 win versus the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Floyd logged two-plus sacks for the second time this season, putting him within half a sack of the second double-digit sack year of his career after Week 11. He probably won't see quite so many pass-rushing opportunities in Week 12 at Philadelphia, but he remains a viable IDP option anyways.
Sep 28, 2023
Practices fully Thursday
Floyd (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Initially injured in Week 2, Floyd took last Wednesday off before fully practicing Thursday and Friday. He appears to be following the same routine this week. Across three starts, the 31-year-old has recorded 3.5 sacks and five QB hits as a weapon off of the edge for Buffalo.
Sep 27, 2023
Still dealing with injury
Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd has been dealing with the injury since suffering it in the team's Week 2 win over the Raiders, although he did play Sunday against the Commanders. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury, or if Wednesday can be viewed more as a maintenance or recovery day for the veteran linebacker. His practice status for Thursday will be worth monitoring and likely bring more clarity to his potential of playing Week 4 against the Dolphins.
Sep 22, 2023
Looks good for Sunday
Floyd (ankle) was a full participant at practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington.
ANALYSIS
After missing practice Wednesday, Floyd was able to log a limited session Thursday before finally recording a full practice Friday, setting him up to play in Week 3. He'll look to get back in the sack column by chasing down an inexperienced Sam Howell.
Sep 20, 2023
Still on the mend
Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders and it was reported Monday that he was expected to be day-to-day. His status for the pivotal Thursday practice will be worth monitoring, as a return at least to a limited session would heighten his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Commanders.
Sep 18, 2023
Day-to-day with ankle
Floyd is day-to-day Monday after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday's 38-10 win versus Las Vegas, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
ANALYSIS
Buffalo can breathe a small sigh of relief that the issue doesn't seem to be too serious, but Floyd's availability for Week 3 is now up in the air. The Bills' injury reports throughout the week will hopefully shed some more light on his status.
Sep 17, 2023
Suffers ankle injury Sunday
Floyd left Sunday's win over the Raiders early due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Floyd recorded two tackles (one solo) before exiting. The Bills were in command nearly all game long, so Floyd's departure may have been precautionary.
Sep 12, 2023
Records 1.5 sacks in loss
Floyd compiled three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in the Bills' 22-16 loss to the Jets in Week 1.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was a disruptive force in his first game with Buffalo, sacking both Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson (half-sack) in the contest. The 31-year-old recorded 29 sacks over his last three campaigns with the Rams and he appears to be picking up where he left off now in 2023.
Jun 5, 2023
Headed to Buffalo
The Bills signed Floyd to a one-year deal Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rams were unable to trade Floyd, so they released the pass rusher in March to clear cap space. The 2016 first-round pick recorded 29 sacks over three seasons with Los Angeles and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2017. In Buffalo, Floyd will add depth to a pass-rushing group that already features Von Miller (knee), Shaq Lawson, Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.
Mar 10, 2023
Being let go Friday
The Rams are planning to release Floyd on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Floyd is set to relocate and pursue his eighth NFL season elsewhere once the Rams make the transaction official. Besides winning the Super Bowl in 2021, the 240-pound linebacker amassed at least 55 tackles and nine sacks in each of the three seasons he spent in Los Angeles.
Mar 6, 2023
Likely on the move
The Rams are anticipated to release Floyd unless Los Angeles is able to trade him, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd is expected to relocate elsewhere following his three-year stint in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old has tallied at least nine sacks in each of the last three seasons, and he served as an integral part of the Rams' defense during their 2021 Super Bowl run. Floyd has also proven to be an extremelly durable and reliable pass rusher over the years, as he's only missed one game across the previous five campaigns.
Jan 9, 2023
Nets ninth sack of season
Floyd recorded five tackles (four solo), a sack, three quarterback hits and a tackle for loss during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was able to consistently make his way to Geno Smith, including a key sack on Seattle's second drive of the day that eventually forced them to settle for a field goal after a lengthy drive. The veteran linebacker has carved out a healthy role in his three seasons with the Rams, recording 184 tackles and 29 sacks over that span, and with two years left on his current contract, he will look to continue his solid production in 2023.
Jan 1, 2023
Playing Sunday
Floyd (illness) is Cameron DaSilva of USA Today Sunday against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Floyd came into Sunday having missed practice time due to a stomach bug. However, it appears he's recovered enough to feel like he can suit Sunday. His availability should be good news for the Rams' linebacker corps.
Dec 30, 2022
Questionable for Week 17
Floyd (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd wasn't on Wednesday's injury report and didn't practice Thursday for rest purposes, but he's dealing with a stomach bug that jeopardizes his availability for Week 17. If he's unavailable against the Chargers, Daniel Hardy and Keir Thomas could see increased playing time.
Dec 26, 2022
Second straight game with sack
Floyd recorded two solo tackles, a sack, three quarterback hits and a tackle for loss during Sunday's 51-14 victory against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
A week removed from a two-sack performance against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Floyd added his eighth sack of the season by taking down Russell Wilson early in the fourth quarter. Wilson ended up taking a whopping six sacks, and Floyd and the Rams will look to continue a string of promising performances against the Chargers in Week 17.
Dec 20, 2022
Third two-sack game of season
Floyd recorded five tackles (three solo), two sacks, three quarterback hits and two tackles for loss during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Floyd started the sack party on Aaron Rodgers with a key stop on third-and-goal, forcing the Packers to settle for a field goal on their opening drive. In the fourth quarter, Floyd managed another key sack on third down, pushing the Packers out of field goal range and forcing them to punt. Floyd will look to add to the seven sacks he's accrued on the season so far with a depleted Broncos offense coming to town in Week 16.
Nov 21, 2022
Two more sacks
Floyd logged two sacks over five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Floyd's two sacks brings his total up to five on the season, all during the last four games. Floyd's sacks were on two different quarterbacks, as he sacked Taysom Hill in the first quarter and Andy Dalton in the fourth quarter. Floyd will have a much tougher task ahead in Week 12, as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs potent offense lie in wait.
Nov 1, 2022
Two sacks in losing effort
Floyd logged two sacks over nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Floyd notched his first two sacks of the season while also finishing as the Rams' leading tackler Week 8. The 30-year-old has been a very effective pass rusher since signing with the Rams ahead of the 2020 season, and he could add to his sack total against the Buccaneers' struggling offensive line this coming Sunday.
Sep 18, 2022
Active as expected Sunday
Floyd (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 2 clash against the Falcons, Jordan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite missing both Thursday's and Friday's practices, word was positive on Floyd's availability coming into the weekend. His active status is now confirmed, and he'll therefore be available to try and help slow down a Falcons offense that arguably outperformed expectations in a one-point loss to the Saints in Week 1.
Sep 18, 2022
Expected to play Sunday
Floyd (knee) is listed as questionable but is slated to play Sunday against the Falcons, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd didn't practice Thursday or Friday after being limited Wednesday, but it appears he'll still suit up Sunday. Nothing is official yet, so fantasy managers in IDP leagues will likely still have to wait until closer to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff before final confirmation. Assuming Floyd is available, he should retain his usual role as a core piece of Los Angeles defense.
Sep 16, 2022
Considered questionable
Floyd (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with the Falcons, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was a non-participant at practice for consecutive days to close out the week after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday, so he is not trending in the right direction. The 30-year-old is nursing a knee issue he picked up in the Rams season opening loss to the Bills. If he is ultimately unable to give it a go, Keir Thomas would be a likely candidate to replace him at outside linebacker.
Sep 15, 2022
Did not practice Thursday
Floyd (knee) did not practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After practicing in limited capacity during Wednesday's practice, Floyd sat out Thursday's session due to his knee injury. While the 30-year-old did play 50 defensive snaps during the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills, he was dealing with a right-ankle injury throughout the preseason. Expect Friday's practice report to provide clarity regarding whether or not Floyd will take the field during Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
Sep 14, 2022
Dealing with knee issue
Floyd (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd appears to have picked up an unspecified knee injury since the Rams' season-opening loss to the Bills this past Thursday. The 30-year-old sat out the entirety of Los Angeles' preseason schedule while dealing with a right ankle issue, but he was ultimately able to record three tackles while playing 50 defensive snaps in Week 1. While it's unclear if this previous injury is at all related to Floyd's current issue, his status will be worth monitoring over the team's subsequent injury reports heading into this Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Sep 5, 2022
Full participant Monday
Floyd (ankle) fully participated in Monday's practice session, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd dealt with an ankle injury in early August, and he didn't appear in any of the Rams' preseason games this year. However, he didn't have any limitations during practice Monday and should be good to go for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Bills.
Aug 9, 2022
Ankle injury confirmed
Floyd was limited at practice Tuesday after leaving practice early with an ankle injury Monday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It was originally reported Floyd had a "lower half" issue, but head coach Sean McVay confirmed it was an ankle injury. Floyd had offseason surgery on his right ankle, which he originally injured in camp last offseason, but played through it. The Rams are expected to remain cautious with Floyd, as he's an important part of their defense.
Aug 8, 2022
Leaves field Monday
Rams coach Sean McVay said that the team wanted to be "smart with [Floyd]" after he exited practice early Monday with a "lower half" issue, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd recently returned to football activities at the opening of training camp after he underwent offseason surgery to address a lingering right ankle injury. The veteran pass rusher is coming off the two highest single-season sack marks of his career in 2020 (10.5) and 2021 (9.5). Therefore, it's logical that the Rams would place the utmost priority on keeping Floyd healthy this preseason.
Jun 27, 2022
Returns to practice during minicamp
Floyd (ankle) returned to football activities during the Rams' minicamp practices, Jordan Rodrique of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was in the final stage of his rehab process during OTAs, but it appears he cleared that final hurdle and will be full-go during training camp. The veteran pass rusher dealt with the injury throughout the 2021 campaign and had surgery shortly after the Rams' Super Bowl win.
Jun 1, 2022
Recovering from surgery
Floyd told reporters on Wednesday that he underwent offseason surgery to address a right ankle injury dating back to last summer, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd said that he suffered the injury during preseason training camp last year and that he is now nearing full health once again. Despite this lingering injury, the 29-year-old linebacker was still able to play all 17 regular-season games for the Rams in 2021, finishing the season with 70 tackles and 9.5 sacks. Floyd has not missed a regular-season game over the past four seasons, so this relatively minor offseason surgery should not be too concerning for his long-term health moving forward.
Jan 2, 2022
Will be available Sunday
Floyd (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After logging a limited practice Friday, Floyd was deemed questionable for Week 17. The 29-year-old pass rusher's presence should be a big boost to the Rams' defense, as he's notched nine sacks across 15 games this season.
Dec 31, 2021
Pops up on injury report
Floyd (ankle) was added to the injury report Friday and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was added to the injury report Friday, but he was still able to log a limited practice. That should keep him in position to suit up Sunday against Baltimore, though his status is now in some doubt. Floyd has been a key pass rusher for the Rams all season, posting nine sacks across 15 games.
Nov 26, 2021
Bears no injury designation
Floyd (concussion) has no injury status heading into Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd has trended in the right direction all week, putting in a limited practice Thursday and a full one Friday. He'll be out there at his usual starting linebacker spot in Week 12 without having missed a game.
Nov 22, 2021
Expected to play after concussion
Coach Sean McVay expects that Floyd (concussion) should be available to play in Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
McVay also revealed that Floyd did indeed suffer a concussion in Week 10's loss to the 49ers. The Rams had their bye in Week 11, which likely helped the veteran pass rusher recover, but he will still need to get through the protocol for head injuries to be available Sunday. Floyd, the team's leader in sacks with 7.5, could find success if he's active Sunday against a Packers offensive line that may be without both David Bakhtiari (knee) and Elgton Jenkins (torn ACL).

Enjoys two-sack outing
Floyd had three tackles (one solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 38-22 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Floyd now has 6.5 sacks through eight appearances this season, putting him on pace to potentially surpass last year's career-high mark of 10.5 sacks. He will work to keep up his momentum against Ryan Tannehill and a Titans squad operating without Derrick Henry (foot) in Week 9.
Oct 25, 2021
Continues solid play against Lions
Floyd recorded seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The second-year Ram and 2016 first-round selection is having another solid season for Los Angeles. He's up to 32 tackles (16 solo) and 4.5 sacks for the campaign, which positions him as a fringe asset in the majority of fantasy settings.
Sep 29, 2021
Gets to QB in win
Floyd produced four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Floyd has handled at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each game this year, so he won't see much of an increase now that Justin Hollins (pectoral) is out of the lineup. The 2016 first-round pick can maintain this production, as he proved with 10.5 sacks last season.
Sep 23, 2021
DNP again Thursday
Floyd (ankle) won't take part in practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
For a second consecutive session, Floyd will be a DNP on the Rams' injury report, but he was able to ride a stationary bike in the media access portion of Thursday's practice. Coach Sean McVay told Rodrigue that Floyd hurt his ankle before Week 1, so the current limitations are merely maintenance-related to ensure he avoids an unnecessary setback. The Rams will have a chance to clear up Floyd's status for Week 3 against the Buccaneers as soon as Friday.
Sep 22, 2021
Non-participant Wednesday
Floyd (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd had the ankle issue first crop up in mid-August, and it's apparently still bothersome after playing 82 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 2. The 29-year-old should be able to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay if he can return to practice in the next couple days.
Sep 8, 2021
Off injury report
Floyd (ankle) isn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After leaving a practice early in mid-August with an ankle limp, Floyd is finally back to full health and is off the injured list. The linebacker is set to start in the Rams' season opener against the Bears if he can remain healthy.
Aug 17, 2021
Leaves practice early Monday
Floyd (ankle) departed Monday's practice early with a slight limp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of Floyd's injury, per Rodrigue, but said that the Rams are still evaluating things. After breaking out with a career-high 10.5 sacks in his inaugural campaign in Los Angeles, Floyd has ingrained himself as a key part of the team's defensive front.
Mar 15, 2021
Sticking with L.A.
The Rams and Floyd agreed to terms on a four-year, $64 million contract Monday, asdf reports.
ANALYSIS
During his first four seasons with the Bears, Floyd compiled 18.5 sacks in 54 games, but after breaking out with 10.5 in 16 contests with the Rams he's struck it big. He'll continue to work in tandem with three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald along the L.A.'s fearsome front line.
Feb 10, 2021
Destructive in debut Rams season
Floyd appeared in all 16 regular-season games with the Rams in 2020, setting career-high marks in terms of total tackles (55) and sacks (10.5).
ANALYSIS
Floyd also had one defensed pass, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. More than just being a career-best mark, his 10.5 sacks were higher than his previous two seasons with the Bears combined. Now set to hit free agency fresh off emerging as a dangerous pass rusher, Floyd looks to be in prime position to score a sizeable contract on the open market.
Jan 9, 2021
Back in action
Floyd returned to Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks after being evaluated for a concussion, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was disruptive before his initial departure, recording a sack and two quarterback hits. The fifth-year linebacker will continue to handle a starter's workload for the remainder of the game.
Jan 9, 2021
Evaluated for concussion
Floyd (concussion) is questionable to return to the Rams' wild-card matchup Saturday against the Seahawks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd appeared to sustain the potential concussion during the second quarter. He had one sack and two quarterback hits before leaving the game.
Jan 3, 2021
Suiting up Week 17
Floyd (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he'll be available to host the Cardinals. The 28-year-old hasn't played less than 85 defensive snaps in a game he's suited up for this season.
Jan 1, 2021
Carries questionable tag
Floyd (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd went to the hospital Friday as a precautionary measure after experiencing abdominal pain. The Rams didn't provide further details. If he's ultimately inactive for Sunday's divisional tilt, Justin Hollins likely will start in Floyd's place, while Ogbonnia Okoronkwo enjoys a substantial increase in reps.
Nov 17, 2020
Erupts with three sacks
Floyd had five tackles (all solo), three sacks and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 23-16 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old was a one-man wrecking crew Sunday, as he registered five hits on quarterback Russell Wilson. Floyd has already tied his career high with seven sacks through nine games this season.
Nov 15, 2020
Will suit up against Seattle
Floyd (knee) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Floyd entered the weekend labeled as questionable, but he ultimately showed enough during pre-game warmups to earn the nod for a crucial Week 10 divisional clash. He sat out Thursday's practice session entirely, but a return to full participation Friday provided optimism that the linebacker would be able to suit up. With four sacks, 23 tackles and a fumble recovery on the 2020 campaign, Floyd readies for a showdown with Seattle's No. 1 scoring offense.
Nov 13, 2020
Questionable for divisional matchup
Floyd (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd was a non-participant in Thursday's practice but upgraded to full participation Friday. That gives him a good chance to play Sunday. If he suffers a setback and is ultimately ruled out, however, Terrell Lewis (shoulder), who is also considered questionable, would be next up while Jachai Polite could get some reps as well.
Oct 27, 2020
Breaks out in revenge game
Floyd recorded six tackles (four solo), two sacks and three quarterback hits during Monday's 24-10 win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Floyd spent four years with the Bears after being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, so the first-year Ram clearly capitalized on some additional motivation to post his best fantasy showing of the season Monday. It's been an inconsistent start to the campaign for Floyd, but he's playing nearly every defensive snap and this outing could be a springboard for the coming weeks -- especially with the Los Angeles defense appearing to be trending in the right direction.
Sep 14, 2020
Busy in Rams debut
Floyd recorded four tackles (two solo), a sack and a tackle for a loss during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
It was a strong first game with Los Angeles for Floyd. He played 68 of 72 defensive snaps and could prove to be a solid pass rusher for the Rams and potential IDP fantasy target in deeper settings. A fresh start might be just what the 2016 first-round selection needed.
Mar 18, 2020
Joins Rams to replace Fowler
Floyd is signing a one-year, $10 million contract with the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Released by Chicago on Tuesday, the 27-year-old OLB now steps in as a replacement for Dante Fowler, who is leaving Los Angeles for Atlanta. Teams around the league have been playing musical chairs with pass rushers, and it's hard to sell this as anything but a downgrade for the Rams, though they'll save some cap space in the process. Floyd was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2016 draft, but he produced just 18.5 sacks and 44 QB hits in 54 regular-season games with the Bears. His one-year contract can go up to $13 million with incentives.
Mar 17, 2020
Set to be released
The Bears are slated to release Floyd, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Yates notes that Floyd "was due $13.22 million on his fifth-year option," a sum that would have become guaranteed Wednesday. The move to part ways with the 2016 first-rounder frees up salary cap space for the Bears' pending signing of Robert Quinn.
Dec 2, 2019
Clear of rib injury
Floyd (ribs) wasn't listed on Monday's injury report, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Floyd suffered a rib injury during last Thursday's win over the Lions, but it doesn't appear as though the injury will impact his status for this week. The 27-year-old should play his near every-down role Thursday against the Cowboys.
Dec 2, 2019
Nursing rib injury
Floyd suffered a rib injury during Thursday's 24-20 win over the Lions, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year linebacker had an X-ray during the game but ended up returning, and he didn't appear hindered, as he logged an 82-percent snap share during the Thanksgiving Day contest. It'll be worth monitoring his practice status leading up to this Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys.
