Rams' Terrance Ferguson Suffers Hamstring Setback and Faces Nov. 25 Activation Deadline

Overview

• Rams coach Sean McVay said Ferguson pulled his hamstring running a standard out route in Friday practice and team imaging indicates a likely grade‑one strain that will sideline him for “another couple weeks.”
• The club had already opened Ferguson’s 21‑day practice window to return from injured reserve, so the Rams must activate him by Nov. 25 or he will remain on IR for the rest of the season.
• Because Ferguson will miss the next game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Rams have shifted offensive snaps to other tight ends and depth players while protecting a three-game winning run that improved them to 5-4.
• Ferguson is a 23‑year‑old second‑round pick from 2025 who had started the season as an emerging target for Matthew Stafford, posting seven catches for 63 yards and a touchdown in his first three games before his Week 3 ankle injury.
• The setback raises a direct roster and game‑plan tradeoff for the Rams as they balance the risk of leaving Ferguson on IR against waiting for his recovery, and it has drawn side attention on social media after a viral video from his wife circulated this week.
