Rams' Quentin Lake: Campaign disrupted by elbow surgery
Lake finished the 2025 regular season with 61 tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble while adding 10 passes defensed, including one interception, over 10 games with the Rams.
Lake played the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season without missing a single defensive snap. This impressive streak came to an end when the slot cornerback suffered an elbow injury in the Week 11 win over the Seahawks, which required surgery that would keep Lake out until the playoffs. Fortunately, the cornerback returned for January's playoff run, where he once again logged every defensive snap. The overall consistency from the 27-year-old earned him a three-year, $42 million contract that will keep him as the starting slot cornerback for the Rams through the 2028 season.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Returns to practice Thursday
Lake (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Lake was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an illness. He recovered enough to log a full session Thursday and will be available to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks. Lake posted seven tackles (two solo) during the Rams' overtime win over the Bears in the NFC divisional round.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Won't practice with illness
Lake (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Lake has come down with an illness and will not be able to participate in the first practice of Week 21. The starting slot cornerback will likely be able to recover in time to practice ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks. If Lake is unable to suit up for Sunday's contest, Josh Wallace is next on the depth chart at slot cornerback.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Activated from IR
The Rams activated Lake (elbow) from injured reserve Tuesday.
Lake practiced fully Thursday and Friday last week, so it appears he's ready to roll for Saturday afternoon's wild-card matchup against the Panthers. Lake hasn't played since he was injured in Week 11. Across 10 appearances this season, he's logged 61 tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass breakups, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on 92 percent of the defensive snaps.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Won't play Week 18
Lake (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Lake was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and ended Week 18 prep with back-to-back full practices, but he's not quite ready to return from a left elbow injury that has kept him sidelined since mid-November. Given his ability to log full practices, Lake stands a good chance to be activated from IR ahead of the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Full practice Thursday
Lake (elbow) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Lake was designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the day, and he was ultimately able to log a full practice in his return. The safety has been sidelined since mid-November while recovering from a left elbow injury and subsequent surgery. Lake will have one more opportunity to build off of Thursday's session before Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, but it remains unclear if the Rams intend on activating him for the regular-season finale.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Designated to return, inks new deal
The Rams designated Lake (elbow) to return from injured reserve Thursday, and the two sides also agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension the same day, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
It was a busy start to the new year for Lake, whose contract extension includes $25.7 million guaranteed. The 2022 sixth-rounder is unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, but Lake could be available for the Rams' postseason run. He landed on IR in mid-November after undergoing surgery to repair an elbow injury, and his return would likely result in less defensive snaps being available for Cobie Durant and Roger McCreary.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Likely done for regular season
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Lake is recovering well from Nov. 18 surgery to address an elbow injury, but the defensive back is considered unlikely to return from injured reserve before the end of the regular season, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "He's been around, he's been in good spirits," McVay said of Lake. "The hope is, if you earn the right to play afterwards, then he'll get a chance to be able to join us then. I don't know if the regular season is realistic for him, but if we are able to earn the right to be able to play games after the 17 w''re guaranteed, I think there's a chance he'll be back for those."
The NFL's wild-card round will kick off Jan. 10, but if the 9-3 Rams are able to secure a No. 1 seed, Lake would have additional time to heal before potentially being available for the divisional round. With Lake having missed the Rams' last two games, Cobie Durant and Josh Wallace have picked up more reps at slot cornerback. Lake tallied a sack, 61 tackles, 10 pass breakups, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 10 games prior to being shut down with the elbow injury.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Placed on IR
Lake (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Lake underwent a procedure on his elbow Tuesday and will now be sidelined for at least the next four games. Earlier reports suggest he could miss the rest of the regular season but would likely be ready to return for a postseason run. Josh Wallace appears most likely to replace Lake as the Rams' primary slot corner.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Undergoes surgery
Lake underwent surgery Tuesday to repair an elbow injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Rapoport also noted that Lake could return at some point in the playoffs, suggesting that he'll likely be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. The 26-year-old will likely be placed on injured reserve in the near future, and Josh Wallace is expected to operate as Los Angeles' top slot corner.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Likely missing time
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Lake will probably need "some time" to recover from the elbow injury he sustained in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Though McVay didn't go into specifics regarding how much time Lake might miss, at the very least, the 26-year-old defensive back looks set to miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. During the Week 11 win over the Seahawks, Josh Wallace stepped in to replace the injured Lake as the Rams' slot corner. Through 10 games on the season, Lake has notched 61 tackles, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and 10 pass breakups.
