Rams' Omar Speights: Cleared for Monday
Speights (hip) does not have any injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Giants, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Speights upgraded to a full participant in Saturday's practice after being limited Thursday and Friday. The linebacker is all set to suit up for Sunday's game next to freshly cleared Nate Landman. The duo will be the primary help at the second level against Giants running back Cam Skattebo.

Rams' Omar Speights: Limited by hip issue Thursday
Speights (hip) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Speights came away from the Rams' loss against the 49ers in Week 1 with a hip pointer, but he was able to play through it and finish that contest. He has two more opportunities to log a full practice before the Rams release their last injury report of the week Saturday.

Rams' Omar Speights: Nursing hip pointer
Speights is dealing with a hip pointer coming out of the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
The linebacker suffered the injury in the first quarter, left the game briefly and then returned in the second quarter. He didn't exit again and ended up playing 30 defensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Speights is "feeling better than what we had anticipated" and is "making positive gains right now."

Rams' Omar Speights: Uptick in production
Speights recorded 85 tackles (45 solo) and a pass defensed in 16 games during 2025.
Despite playing in one fewer game than his rookie year in 2024, Speights saw significantly more action on the field this season, recording 667 snaps. Speights did deal with a high ankle sprain that cost him one game and kept him off and on the injury report for the latter half of the season, or he may have had an even more robust increase to his performance. This coincided with a merely modest gain in his tackle totals year-to-year, and Speights will look to continue his positive trend alongside Nate Landman as the likely starting inside linebackers for the Rams in 2026.

Rams' Omar Speights: Questionable for Week 18
Speights (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Speights was limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Rams announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's not cleared to play or operates on a snap count, then Troy Reeder and Shaun Dolac would be the top candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside Nate Landman.

Rams' Omar Speights: Limited again Thursday
Speights (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Rams' Omar Speights: Working through ankle injury
Speights (ankle) was estimated as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Speights may have tweaked his ankle during Monday's loss to the Falcons, when he logged eight tackles (three solo) while playing 65 snaps (46 on defense, 19 on special teams). The Rams hosted a walkthrough practice Wednesday, so the second-year linebacker will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals.

Speights (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The inside linebacker was a limited participant Wednesday. Speights suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Rams' Week 5 loss to the 49ers and missed the team's Week 6 win over the Ravens. The second-year pro is trending in the right direction ahead of this Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.

Rams' Omar Speights: Limited to open week
Speights (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Speights sustained a high ankle sprain during the Rams' Week 5 loss to the 49ers, which prevented him from playing against the Ravens in Week 6. His ability to return to practice is a sign that he is progressing in his recovery, and his participation over the next two days will determine his chances of playing against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Rams' Omar Speights: Not playing Sunday
Speights (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Speights' absence comes as no surprise, given that he sat out of practice all week due to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered during the Rams' Week 5 loss to the 49ers. Troy Reeder will likely see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside Nate Landman in Speights' absence.
