The Los Angeles Rams will be without tight end Terrance Ferguson for their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders due to a hamstring injury sustained in practice on Friday. Ferguson, who had emerged as a trusted target for quarterback Matthew Stafford in the early part of the season, is now out for Sunday's game.
Ferguson, 23, had been a bright spot for the Rams' offense through the first three games, accumulating 63 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven receptions. His promising start was interrupted by an ankle injury in Week 3, which placed him on injured reserve. Despite making progress towards a return, he now faces another setback.
Ferguson's absence is a blow to the Rams' offensive depth as they aim to extend their two-game winning streak. His ability to develop into a reliable weapon for Stafford is contingent on his health, particularly after finishing his rookie season in 2025 with 11 receptions for 231 yards and three touchdowns.
On the defensive side, safety Kam Curl received an encouraging injury update. Curl, who suffered a foot injury in the previous week's game against the Chargers, progressed from not practicing on Thursday to limited participation on Friday. His official game status is listed as questionable, offering a possibility for his return against the Commanders.
