Rams' Jaylen Watson: Placed on injured reserve
The Rams placed Watson (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.
Watson exited Sunday's win over the Chargers early with a severe shoulder injury. The cornerback will undergo surgery while on IR, which will end his season. Watson ends the season with 24 tackles (14 solo) and nine passes defensed, including one interception, over seven regular-season games.

Rams' Jaylen Watson: Out for season
Watson is expected to undergo shoulder surgery and to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Watson was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Chargers early by a shoulder injury, and it was apparently severe enough to prematurely end his season. He had been operating as one of the Rams' top defensive backs and actually led the team in snaps at cornerback through eight weeks, so losing him is a significant blow to the club. His absence figures to create additional opportunities on the boundary for Emmanuel Forbes the rest of the way.

Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Watson will be forced to sit out the rest of Week 8 after sustaining a shoulder injury early in the second half. With Trent McDuffie (back) also banged up, the Rams are rather thin in the secondary versus the Chargers.

Rams' Jaylen Watson: Nursing shoulder injury
Watson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Watson suffered a shoulder injury early in the second half, and his availability for the stretch run of the team's Week 8 matchup is now uncertain. In his absence, Emmanuel Forbes and Josh Wallace will likely stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Watson (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Bills, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Watson will end up missing only one game due to a dislocated shoulder that he sustained against the Broncos in Week 3. Watson will return to his starting role at outside cornerback opposite Trent McDuffie while Josh Wallace reverts to a rotational role.

Rams' Jaylen Watson: Back at practice Thursday
Watson (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Watson was able to practice Thursday for the first time since dislocating his shoulder in Week 3 at Denver. Whether he'll be available for Week 5 appears to be a live question, and the Rams' official injury reports Friday and Saturday should provide more insight on that front.

Rams' Jaylen Watson: Could return to practice
The Rams are hopeful that Watson (shoulder) will return to practice for Week 5 preparation, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reported Monday.
Watson dislocated his shoulder during the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Broncos. The cornerback was unable to play in the team's Week 4 win over the Eagles and has not practiced since sustaining the injury. The Rams hope Watson can participate in Week 5 prep and suit up for Monday's game against the Bills.

Rams' Jaylen Watson: Won't play against Philadelphia
Watson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Watson dislocated his shoulder during the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Broncos, which prevented him from practicing this past week. The 2022 seventh-rounder will aim to be back on the field for Week 5 against the Bills, though he'd have to log at least one limited practice to have a realistic chance of playing. Emmanuel Forbes figures to start opposite Trent McDuffie at outside cornerback in Watson's absence.

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.
