Overview

  • Coach Sean McVay said the team awaits an MRI and consultations with VP of sports medicine Reggie Scott and surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache before setting a return plan.
  • Injured reserve, surgery, or even a season-ending designation remain possible depending on the medical findings.
  • With Lake out, Kamren Kinchens saw expanded snaps, Josh Wallace handled nickel duties, and Cobie Durant moved inside, a rotation coaches may extend.
  • Lake has served as the Rams’ on-field communicator and a versatile defender in the slot, box, and deep, making his loss both a schematic and leadership challenge.
  • The injury occurred in a 21-19 win over the Seahawks that put Los Angeles at 8-2, and tight end Tyler Higbee’s ankle sprain is also under evaluation.
