Rams' Byron Young: Records double-digit sacks
Young recorded 82 tackles (45 solo), including 12.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in 17 regular-season games during 2025.
The durable Young, who hasn't missed a game in his three seasons in the league, took another step towards becoming one of the league's elite linebackers in 2025, finishing in a tie for eighth with Josh Sweat and Will Anderson for most sacks while earning his first career Pro Bowl nod in the process. It looked like he'd finish with much more than 12 sacks early in the season, as Young recorded at least half a sack in each of the Rams first seven games, before cooling off and recording just three sacks over the final 10 contests. Young will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026 and will look to continue his upward progression before either signing an extension with the Rams or looking for a big payday in free agency.

Rams' Byron Young: Cleared to play vs. Detroit
Young (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Young sat out Friday's practice after being limited in the first two sessions of Week 15 prep due to a lingering knee injury. That appears to have been a maintenance day for the third-year edge rusher, who has been given the green light to play in Sunday's home tilt. Young has tallied 1.0 sacks in back-to-back games, and his 11.0 sacks (through 13 regular-season games) is tied with Danielle Hunter and Josh Sweat for fifth most in the NFL.

Rams' Byron Young: Limited again Thursday
Young (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Young logged consecutive limited practices as he continues to nurse the knee injury he has dealt with since Week 13. If past practice logs and game participation are any indicator, the outside linebacker should be available for Sunday's game against the Lions. Since being added to the injury report with the issue, Young has logged 12 tackles (7 solo), including 2.0 sacks, through two games and will likely add to that total in Week 15.

Rams' Byron Young: Limited participant, should be fine
Young (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Young is tied for eighth in the league with 10.0 sacks through 12 games, and his 61 tackles are just one shy of his career high. The Tennessee product is having an outstanding season, and he has an intriguing opportunity this week because Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett has been sacked 26 times through seven starts.
