Kinchens recorded eight total tackles (six solo), one interception and one forced fumble in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Patriots.
The 2024 third-round pick from Miami continues to see his role expand on the Rams' defense, recording a career-high eight stops in Sunday's win. Kinchens has also nabbed three interceptions in the past three weeks while playing 51, 76 and 56 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps, respectively. Don't be surprised if the rookie earns more playing time as the season progresses, especially if he maintains his Week 11 performance level.

Rams' Omar Speights: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
Speights recorded eight tackles (six solo), including a tackle for loss, during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
An expanded role in the absence of Troy Reeder (hamstring) led to a big day on the stat sheet for the 2024 UDFA, whose eight tackles were easily a season best. Speights was on the field for 39 snaps on defense, nearly equal to Byron Young and Jared Verse, and will likely keep hold of his newfound role on defense against a Patriots offense averaging the lowest number of yards per game (271.1) in the NFL in Week 11.
