Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Potential for expanded role
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said Ferguson "is only going to get more opportunities going forward", Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
McVay's comments come after Ferguson was active for the first time in three games. Given only four snaps on offense on Thursday against the 49ers, the rookie managed to turn his only target into a healthy 21-yard gain, which helped set up a Kyren Williams receiving touchdown a few plays later. Ferguson's second-round pedigree and a Rams' tight end room currently struggling to make much of an impact may help him quickly leap up the pecking order at tight end, and a Ravens defense struggling to keep points off the board may mark an opportunity for Ferguson to produce if McVay's comments bear fruit.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Inactive again Week 4
Rotowire
Ferguson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Colts.
The rookie second-round pick played four offensive snaps over the first two games of the season -- with all of those coming in Week 2 -- but Ferguson will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive contest after both Tyler Higbee (hip) and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) cleared injury designations. Ferguson's next chance to garner active status comes in a Week 5 Thursday night clash against the 49ers.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Healthy inactive for Week 3
Rotowire
Ferguson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
A second-round selection in April, Ferguson was the third tight end off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft, going after first-round choices Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren. Despite his pedigree, Ferguson hasn't been able to earn a meaningful role with the Rams over the first two weeks of the season, playing just four offensive snaps in total. He may be in store for limited opportunities with Los Angeles as a rookie so long as the other tight ends on the roster (Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen) all stay reasonably healthy.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Could be in line for more work
Rotowire
Ferguson played five snaps on special teams during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.
Despite the second-round pedigree, Ferguson spent his first career regular-season game on the bench the Rams were on offense, failing to secure a single snap from scrimmage. Colby Parkinson (shoulder) had a rough day, however, taking two catches for minus-6 yards and losing a fumble while also sustaining a sprained AC joint in the victory. This may open the door for Ferguson to earn some snaps on offense in Week 2 alongside Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, although a Titans defense that has been tough on tight ends under defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson may not be the most ideal setting for a breakout.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Two grabs against Browns
Rotowire
Ferguson caught two of three targets for 48 yards in Saturday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Browns.
After missing the Rams' first two exhibition contests due to a groin injury, Ferguson was able to suit up Saturday and hauled in passes of 33 and 15 yards on a drive late in the second quarter. Tyler Higbee remains atop the depth chart at tight end, but Ferguson -- a second-round pick in the 2025 Draft -- may offer more big-play upside as a receiver right out of the gate.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Gets back on practice field
Rotowire
Ferguson (groin) participated in practice Monday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Rams coach Sean McVay said Ferguson was "a little bit limited" in his first practice since Aug. 2, when he suffered a groin injury, but also said he was encouraged by the rookie second-round pick's activity in full pads. Ferguson's groin injury forced him to miss Los Angeles' first two preseason games, so Saturday's road matchup against the Browns will represent the rookie tight end's final chance to log exhibition reps before Week 1.

Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Sidelined by groin injury
Rotowire
Ferguson was unable to practice Saturday due to a groin strain, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Coach Sean McVay downplayed the severity of the injury but also admitted that Ferguson has no timeline to return. Ferguson had gotten strong reviews in camp for his ability to find soft spots in zone coverage while being a reliable target, but this injury will slow his momentum for the time being.
