ANALYSIS
Havenstein has missed the Rams' last three games, though coach Sean McVay said he expects to get his offensive lineman back for a Week 9 matchup against the Saints.

Oct 10, 2025
Appears unlikely for Week 6

Unavailable for practice
Havenstein (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein has opened the week as a non-participant at each of the team's first two practices, and he may be set to miss a second straight game with an ankle injury. If he's unable to go in Week 6, Alaric Jackson would likely stand to draw another start at left tackle Sunday in Baltimore.
Oct 2, 2025
Not playing vs. San Francisco
Havenstein (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury that he may have aggravated during the Rams' Week 4 win over the Colts. Warren McClendon, D.J. Humphries and David Quessenberry are all candidates to fill in at right tackle in Havenstein's absence.
Oct 1, 2025
Unlikely to play in Week 5
Havenstein (ankle) is doubtful to play in Thursday night's contest against the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein was considered a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate and Tuesday's walkthrough, and then he was officially a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. If the 33-year-old is unable to go in Week 5, Warren McClendon and D.J. Humphries are the two top candidates to start at right tackle versus San Francisco.
Sep 28, 2025
Good to go versus Colts
Havenstein (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

Sep 26, 2025
In line to play Week 4

ANALYSIS
Although Havenstein is listed as questionable, head coach Sean McVay relayed Friday that he "feels good" about the veteran offensive lineman's chances of suiting up Sunday. Warren McClendon or D.J. Humphries would be candidates to take over at right tackle if Havenstein was unable to play.
Sep 25, 2025
Misses practice again
Havenstein (ankle) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
The right tackle emerged from last Sunday's loss to the Eagles "a little sore," per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, quoting Los Angeles coach Sean McVay.

Sep 24, 2025
Nursing ankle injury
Havenstein (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Sean McVay relayed that Havenstein and Davante Adams (hamstring) would sit Wednesday after the duo came out of Sunday's loss to the Eagles "a little sore."

ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Havenstein missed the Rams' last two games of the regular season with a shoulder issue, but it looks like he'll be ready to return for Monday's game versus the Vikings.

Jan 2, 2025
Won't play vs. Seahawks
Havenstein (shoulder) will not play in Week 18 versus Seattle, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Havenstein would be sitting out due to his shoulder injury and not because the Rams have already locked up the NFC West going into the regular season finale. In his stead, Joe Noteboom projects to make another start at right tackle Sunday.
Dec 28, 2024
Won't play in Week 17
Havenstein (shoulder) is inactive for Saturday's Week 17 contest against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Dec 28, 2024
Injured shoulder in practice
Havenstein injured his shoulder in practice Wednesday and was unable to practice Thursday, Stu Jackson of TheRams.com reports. He is listed as questionable.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Havenstein (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS

Nov 24, 2024
Won't play vs. Philadelphia
Havenstein (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Eagles, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein will miss a third straight game due to an ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Seahawks, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 1.

Nov 22, 2024
Unlikely to return in Week 12
Havenstein (ankle) is doubtful to suit up Sunday against the Eagles, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein suffered an ankle injury in Week 9 against Seattle and hasn't played since. He was at least able to log a pair of limited practice sessions to end the week after not practicing at all the previous two weeks, but his tag of doubtful suggests he's unlikely to suit up against Philadelphia. Either Warren McClendon or Joe Noteboom will likely start Sunday if Havenstein is indeed unable to play.
Nov 18, 2024
Could play in Week 12
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Havenstein (ankle) is "trending in the right direction" to possibly return against the Eagles in Week 12, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein has missed each of the Rams' last two games after sustaining an ankle injury in the team's Week 9 win over the Seahawks. However, McVay's comments Monday suggest he's nearing a return to the field.

Nov 15, 2024
Missing another week
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Havenstein (ankle) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday after missing the Rams' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins due to an ankle injury, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined for the second consecutive game Sunday. With Joe Noteboom (ankle) doubtful for Week 11's matchup, Warren McClendon will likely serve as the Rams' top right tackle.
Nov 4, 2024
Won't play in Week 10
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Havenstein (ankle) will be sidelined for the Rams' Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Wisconsin product sustained an ankle injury in the Rams' Week 9 win over the Seahawks, and McVay's decision to already rule Havenstein out for Week 10 suggests the issue could be serious. Expect Warren McClendon to serve as the Rams' top right tackle until Havenstein can return to the field.
Nov 3, 2024
Questionable to return Sunday
Havenstein (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Sep 13, 2024
Cleared to play Week 2
Havenstein (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals and is expected to play, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
It will be Havenstein's season debut after he missed Week 1 versus Detroit.

Sep 8, 2024
Unavailable Sunday
Havenstein (ankle) will be inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Sep 6, 2024
Limited Friday

Sep 2, 2024
Practices Monday
Havenstein (ankle) was a limited participant in the Rams' practice Monday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein is making progress towards working his way back from an ankle injury suffered last month but is still not fully healthy. The 32-year-old's status for Sunday's game versus the Lions is still up in the air, and if he ends up being unable to play, Warren McClendon will likely start at right tackle. This would leave the team without both startinting tackles as Alaric Jackson is suspended for the first two games of the season.
Aug 1, 2024
Dealing with foot injury
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that Havenstein left practice due to a foot injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the injury hasn't been announced, but the Rams could elect to hold Havenstein out of their first preseason game against the Cowboys on Aug. 11.

Seems ready for Thursday

ANALYSIS

Ready to return
Havenstein (calf) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Seattle, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein missed both Week 8 and Week 9 due to a calf injury, but he appears to have progressed enough during the Rams' Week 10 bye to be able to suit up Sunday. Joe Noteboom has been starting in Havenstein's place and will now likely return to a rotational role.

Questionable for Sunday at Dallas
Havenstein (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how severe Havenstein's calf injury is, and his status might be up in the air until the Rams release their inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday. If he can't go in Week 8, Tremayne Anchrum could step into a starting role on the offensive line.
Sep 6, 2023
Good to go Week 1
Havenstein (neck) was removed from the injury report Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Havenstein is now fully healthy and slated to start against the Seahawks on Sunday after suffering a neck stinger in August. The Rams will be happy to have the 31-year-old back as they currently lack depth along the offensive line.

Aug 8, 2023
Back on practice field

ANALYSIS
Havenstein sat out practice Saturday due to a neck strain, but it looks like the issue was indeed minor. The starting right tackle could log further precautionary absences during the preseason should his strain recur. Considering the slew of injuries along the O-line that the Rams had to endure last season, the team could act with extra caution.
Aug 7, 2023
Managing neck strain
Havenstein didn't participate in practice Sunday due to a neck strain, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Havenstein sat out Sunday's practice, his absence was labeled as precautionary, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Chargers.

Teaks his knee
Havenstein (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, according to head coach Sean McVay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Sep 7, 2022
Agrees to new deal

ANALYSIS
Havenstein's new contract will tie him to Los Angeles through the 2025 season, thus shoring up the right side of the team's offensive line for years to come. The 30-year-old offensive tackle has started all 99 games of his seven-season tenure with the Rams, including 15 starts in 2021. Havenstein will provide valuable veteran experience on the Rams' starting offensive line in 2022 after the retirement of long-time left tackle Andrew Whitworth this offseason.
Dec 22, 2021
Clears COVID-19 list
Havenstein was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Joe Noteboom started in place of Havenstein at right tackle in the Rams' Week 14 win over the Cardinals, but Los Angeles will have to break in a new option at the position Week 15 after Noteboom wasn't activated following his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Dec 12, 2021
Placed on COVID-19 list
The Rams placed Havenstein on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
