Rams security Quentin Lake might be sidelined for an undetermined period of time due to an elbow harm suffered through the Rams’ victory over the Seattle Seahawks, coach Sean McVay stated Monday.
McVay stated the Rams had been awaiting outcomes from an MRI examination and a session with workforce doctor Dr. Neal ElAttrache earlier than deciding how lengthy Lake is perhaps out, whether or not he might be positioned on injured reserve or if it’s a season-ending harm that may require surgical procedure.
“Not nice for our captain and chief,” McVay stated throughout a videoconference with reporters. “Bummed out for him.”

Gary Klein breaks down what went proper for the Rams in a 21-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
Lake, a workforce captain, has been one thing of an Ironman the previous couple of seasons. He performed each defensive snap in 2024 earlier than starters had been rested for the season finale. He performed each snap this season earlier than he was injured on Sunday within the 21-19 victory that improved the Rams’ file to 8-2, prolonged their profitable streak to 5 video games and put the Rams in sole possession of first place within the NFC West.
Josh Wallace changed Lake on the nickel spot on Sunday.
Security Kamren Kinchens, who intercepted two passes towards the Seahawks, obtained elevated snaps in Lake’s absence. Cornerback Cobie Durant can even play inside and Roger McCreary is also a candidate to play in that spot when the Rams play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
Security Kam Curl is an skilled veteran. However changing Lake’s management is a tall order.
“You don’t exchange a Quentin Lake,” McVay stated. “He’s so useful for thus many causes with what he can do, with who he’s as a human, with the best way that he elevates and leads. … We’ll have to determine what’s the subsequent neatest thing for us to have the ability to do.
“I feel it might be insincere to suppose that you just’re going to ask someone to do the issues that he’s able to. It’s what makes him so particular. However I do have a number of confidence within the different guys.”
