Fiske (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Fiske dealt with an ankle injury in the lead-up to the contest and did not practice at all. He may have his reps limited, but he'll be ready to suit up for a key NFC West showdown Thursday.

Rams' Braden Fiske: Questionable for Week 16
Rotowire
Fiske (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's NFC West tilt against the Seahawks, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Fiske was held out of all three practices for Week 16 prep due to an ankle injury that he presumably picked up during Sunday's win over the Lions. He has been tagged as questionable despite the lack of practice, so his official status likely won't be known until approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Rams announce their list of inactive players. Larrell Murchison, Tyler Davis and rooke Ty Hamilton would be poised for more defensive snaps if Fiske is not cleared to play.

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Appears to be past illness
Rotowire
McCollough (illness) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
McCollough fell ill Saturday and was added to the Rams' injury report as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit. He ended up being able to play in that victory, logging a 65 percent defensive snap share. McCollough was then deemed a non-participant for Monday's walkthrough, but, after being estimated as a full participant one day later, he appears good to go for Thursday's matchup in Seattle.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Tallies six stops in Week 15 win
Rotowire
Curl registered six tackles (three solo) during the Rams' 41-34 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Curl and Nate Landman were the only two Rams defenders to play every single defensive snap during Sunday's win. Curl has tallied at least six tackles in five of his last six games, and he is now up to 103 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, which marks the second time in his six-year NFL career that he's reached the tackling century mark.

Rams' Nate Landman: Double-digit stops vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Landman tallied 10 tackles (six solo), including one tackle for a loss, during the Rams' 41-34 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Landman played every single defensive snap for the first time this season, and his 10 tackles were tied with Erick Hallett for the second-most tackles in the game behind Jack Campbell (14). Landman is up to 118 total tackles through 14 regular-season games, which surpasses his career high that he set in 2023 as a member of the Falcons (110 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games).

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Set to play Week 15
Rotowire
McCollough (illness) is active for Sunday's clash against Detroit, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
McCollough was added to the Rams' injury report Saturday due to an illness, but he's feeling well enough to play one day later. The second-year safety posted a season-high 76 percent defensive snap share last week against Arizona and has seen his reps increase four straight games.

Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
McCollough was added to the injury report with an illness Saturday and is questionable to play Sunday versus the Lions.
McCollough did not show up on the injury report prior to Saturday, so it appears he came down with an illness at some point since Friday's practice. The second-year safety has been productive while playing a reserve role on defense as well as a significant share of snaps on special teams. In 13 games, he's totaled 38 tackles, 2.0 sacks and three passes defended. If McCollough sits out, then Chris Smith and/or Tanner Ingle could see increased playing time behind starting safeties Kamren Curl and Kamren Kinchens.

Rams' Byron Young: Cleared to play vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Young (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Young sat out Friday's practice after being limited in the first two sessions of Week 15 prep due to a lingering knee injury. That appears to have been a maintenance day for the third-year edge rusher, who has been given the green light to play in Sunday's home tilt. Young has tallied 1.0 sacks in back-to-back games, and his 11.0 sacks (through 13 regular-season games) is tied with Danielle Hunter and Josh Sweat for fifth most in the NFL.

Rams' Byron Young: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Young (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Young logged consecutive limited practices as he continues to nurse the knee injury he has dealt with since Week 13. If past practice logs and game participation are any indicator, the outside linebacker should be available for Sunday's game against the Lions. Since being added to the injury report with the issue, Young has logged 12 tackles (7 solo), including 2.0 sacks, through two games and will likely add to that total in Week 15.

Rams' Darious Williams: Estimated to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (tibia) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Williams was unable to play in the Rams' Week 14 win over the Cardinals due to a tibia injury, but his estimated ability to practice in full in Wednesday's walkthrough puts him on track to return against the Lions on Sunday. Ahkello Witherspoon and Josh Wallace will likely see their defensive snaps cut, assuming Williams is cleared to play Week 15.

Rams' Byron Young: Still nursing knee injury
Rotowire
Young (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Young has been able to play through a knee injury during the Rams' last two games, so he should be available to play Sunday against the Lions barring a setback. The third-year edge rusher has tallied 12 tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks, over his last two games.

Rams' Nate Landman: Picks off Brissett in Week 14 win
Rotowire
Landman logged two tackles (one solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, during the Rams' 45-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Landman's two tackles were a season low, but he made his impact felt late in the third quarter, when he picked off a Jacoby Brissett pass intended for Michael Wilson, which led to a 31-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua on the next play. Landman is up to 108 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games and should surpass his career high that he set in 2023 as a member of the Falcons (110 combined tackles across 16 regular-season games). His next opportunity to do so is this Sunday against the Lions.

Rams' Darious Williams: Sidelined in Week 14
Rotowire
Williams (lower leg) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Williams was doubtful coming into the weekend after failing to practice all week, and his inactive status is now official. With the veteran cornerback unavailable, Ahkello Witherspoon is projected to step into the starting right cornerback spot against a Cardinals air attack missing Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (IR, chest) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring).

Rams' Poona Ford: Good to go for Week 14
Rotowire
Ford (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Rotowire
Young (knee/NIR - rest) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Young managed to log consecutive limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before missing Friday's session for veteran rest. The outside linebacker is set to suit up for Sunday's game with full rest and will look to add to his total of 10.0 sacks.

Rotowire
Kinchens (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Kinchens upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for the earlier portion of the week. The free safety has avoided an injury designation and will continue his streak of participating in every Rams game this year.

Rams' Darious Williams: Likely missing Week 14
Rotowire
Williams (lower leg) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Despite head coach Sean McVay telling reporters Wednesday that he expects Williams to play in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, he likely won't suit up. The UAB product has appeared in 10 games this season, recording 22 total tackles and eight passes defensed, including one interception. If Williams is sidelined as expected in Week 14, expect Ahkello Witherspoon to play a larger role in the Rams' secondary.

Rams' Poona Ford: Could play Sunday
Rotowire
Ford (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
The Texas product logged consecutive DNPs to begin the Rams' week of practice, but it still appears he has a chance to suit up Sunday. Ford has appeared in all 12 of Los Angeles' games this season, recording 34 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. If he's unavailable in Week 14, Ty Hamilton will likely operate as the Rams' top nose tackle.
