  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Diagnosed with dislocated shoulder

    Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Watson suffered a dislocated shoulder in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos, and he's likely to miss next Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    It's another big loss for this veteran Rams team, as the defense is already dealing with injuries to Myles Garrett (knee) and Kamren Kinchens (hamstring) on defense while Puka Nacua (hip) has missed the last two games and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) appears likely to miss Week 4 for the offense. Emmanuel Forbes saw increased reps opposite Trent McDuffie at cornerback against Denver following Watson's injury.

  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Done for night

    Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with Denver, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Watson suffered a shoulder injury prior to halftime, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. With Watson unavailable, Emmanuel Forbes will continue to get added opportunities in the secondary.

  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Dealing with shoulder issue

    Watson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Denver, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Watson suffered a shoulder injury during the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Emmanuel Forbes will stand to operate in a prominent role at cornerback versus the Broncos.

  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Plays every defensive snap Week 1

    Watson tallied four tackles (two solo) during the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

    Watson was working through a toe injury leading up to the Rams' regular-season opener, though the issue didn't appear to be a severe one as he played all 65 defensive snaps. Watson was a full-time starter for the Chiefs in 2025, playing 90 percent or more of the team's defensive snaps in 14 of the 16 regular-season games he played in. Watson signed a three-year contract with the Rams in March to start opposite fellow former Chief Trent McDuffie at outside corner. The Rams gave up 205 passing yards and three touchdowns to Brock Purdy in Week 1, so Watson and the secondary will look for better results in Week 2 against the Giants on Monday, Sept. 21.

  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Cleared to face 49ers in Australia

    Watson (toe) was a full participant on Thursday's estimated injury report and doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the 49ers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Watson has been cleared to suit up for the season opener in Melbourne. The offseason addition is expected to start in the Rams' new-look secondary opposite former Chiefs teammate Trent McDuffie. Watson was consistent in his stint with the Chiefs, recording exactly six passes defensed in each of his first four NFL regular seasons.

  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Limited on estimated practice report

    Watson (toe) was a limited participant on the Rams' estimated practice report.

    The Rams flew to Australia overnight, so Wednesday's practice report is an estimate based on injury projections. If Watson was projected as a limited participant, there is still a chance the cornerback is capable of suiting up for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the 49ers.

  • Rams' Jaylen Watson: Misses practice Tuesday

    Watson (toe) did not participate at the Rams' practice Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Watson is dealing with an apparent toe injury, and as a result, he was unable to practice. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice before Thursday night's matchup with the 49ers.
