Rams Activate Safety Quentin Lake From IR Ahead of Playoffs

The move restores a versatile starter to Los Angeles’ secondary for the postseason.

Overview

  • Los Angeles placed inside linebacker Shaun Dolac on injured reserve with a knee injury to open the roster spot, ending his season.
  • The Rams also released safety Nate Valcarcel from the practice squad and signed veteran linebacker Ben Niemann to the practice squad.
  • Lake had been out since dislocating his left elbow on Nov. 16 against Seattle and undergoing surgery.
  • In 10 regular-season games this year, Lake recorded 61 tackles, 10 passes defensed, a sack, an interception, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
  • Earlier this month, Lake agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension with $25.7 million guaranteed, and his activation makes him eligible for postseason action.
