Rams' Kamren Curl: Picks off Jones twice in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Curl logged nine tackles (three solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) during the Rams' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Curl grabbed his first interception of the season early in the first quarter, when he jumped in front of a deep pass from Daniel Jones that was intended for Adonai Mitchell, and that turnover led to the Rams' first points of the game on a Joshua Karty 42-yard field goal 11 plays later. Curl came up big again late, when he snuck in front of a Jones pass to Michael Pittman within the final minute of the fourth quarter to seal the game for the Rams. Curl played every single defensive snap for the third time this season, and his nine tackles was tied with Quentin Lake for the most on the Rams. Curl is up to 35 total tackles through four games and is well on pace to surpass his total from the 2024 regular season (79 across 16 games).

Rams' Kamren Curl: Dealing with ankle injury
Rotowire
Curl is considered week-to-week with an ankle injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Curl had his ankle stepped on during Tuesday's practice, and coach Sean McVay said the team is relieved it's not a worse injury for the safety. Curl started 16 regular-season games last season, logging 79 tackles (49 solo), including 1.0 sacks, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Logs 79 tackles in 2024
Rotowire
Curl played 16 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 79 tackles (49 solo), nine pass defenses, two forced fumbles and returned a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
Curl signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the Rams in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Commanders, who selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He ended up playing every single defensive snap in 11 of 16 regular-season games and finished third on the Rams in combined tackles behind Christian Rozeboom (135) and Quentin Lake (111), though Curl has failed to a record an interception since his rookie season in 2020. Kamren Kinchens, a 2024 third-round pick, is projected to serve as one of the Rams' starting safeties for the 2025 campaign, and it's unclear whether Curl will fill the other spot or if competition will be brought in via free agency or the draft.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Able to practice Friday
Rotowire
Curl (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Curl opened the week with a DNP on Thursday, but he was able to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity. He's played through a knee injury in the Rams' last two games, so even if he's not able to log a full practice Saturday, he should be able to suit up against Miami on Monday.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay relayed Thursday that Curl (knee) wouldn't participate in practice but should play Monday against the Dolphins, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Curl has played through a knee injury in the Rams' last two games, so Thursday's absence is likely a maintenance day for the 2020 seventh-round pick. While playing through the injury, Curl has seen his snap count decrease as he's ceded playing time to Kamren Kinchens and Jaylen McCollough.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Active against Seattle
Rotowire
Curl (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Curl was injured in the opening quarter of last week's win over the Vikings but was able to return to that contest and got in some limited practices this week. He should be fine for his normal role in the Rams' defensive backfield Sunday.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Back in Thursday's game
Rotowire
Curl (knee) has returned to Thursday night's game against the Vikings.
The safety got hurt on the opening drive after making two tackles (one solo). Curl did not miss a defensive snap across the Rams' first six games, and while he won't match that reliability Thursday, his quick return may allow him to come close. The fifth-year pro has 41 tackles (28 solo), two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Scores fumble-recovery TD
Rotowire
Curl recorded seven solo tackles, two passes defended, and one fumble recovery that was returned 33 yards for a touchdown during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.
Curl played 100% of snaps for the sixth consecutive game and turned in an outstanding performance with a season high in solo tackles and passes defended. He also scooped up a Gardner Minshew fumble after a Cobie Durant sack and returned it for a Rams' touchdown in the second quarter. The Rams will need Curl to be at his best on a short week, as the potent Vikings passing game comes to town in Week 8 for a Thursday night matchup.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Bolsters Rams' secondary
Rotowire
Curl (quadriceps) signed a two-year, $13 million deal with the Rams on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Curl was drafted in the seventh round of the 2020 draft, but he maintained a significant role on the defensive unit for the Commanders in all four of his seasons with the team. He topped 80 tackles in each of those campaigns and had at least four passes defensed on three occasions. The 24-year-old -- who is presumably past a quad injury that sidelined him in Washington's season finale -- is in line to play a key role in a revamped Rams' secondary that also includes the newly added Darious Williams.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Curl (quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
The 24-year-old safety out of Arkansas popped up on the Commanders' injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to a quadriceps issue. Curl has yet to miss a game this year, but he'll almost certainly carry an injury designation into Washington's season finale unless he's able to practice in full Friday.
Curl registered 11 tackles (eight solo) and three pass deflections in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Falcons.
Curl logged double-digit tackles for the second time this season en route to Washington's third win of the year. The 24-year-old is currently on pace to set a new career high in tackles and will look to increase those numbers versus the Giants next week.

Rotowire
Curl (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Bills, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Coach Ron Rivera suggested Curl will play, saying he's more probable than questionable. The 2020 seventh-round pick has played all 128 defensive snaps through two games, registering 19 tackles and one pass breakup.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Leads defense in tackles
Rotowire
Curl recorded 10 tackles (eight solo, one for a loss) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.
He also played on all 58 defensive snaps on Sunday. Curl played in just 12 games last season due to injuries but managed to finish third on the team with 88 total tackles. The 2020 seventh-round pick out of Arkansas emerged as a leader in his rookie year and will be a key piece for the Commanders' defense. They'll hit the road for Week 2 to take on the Broncos.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Curl (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.
Curl's inability to suit up shouldn't come as a surprise, as he was downgraded to doubtful Saturday after logging limited practices all week. In his absence, Jeremy Reaves should draw a start against Cleveland.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Curl (ankle) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Curl was unavailable for the Commanders' Week 16 loss to the 49ers while dealing with an ankle issue, and his status is now in question for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. The safety was able to practice in a limited capacity this week, which does bode well for his chances to play versus Cleveland. If he is ultimately ruled out, Jeremy Reaves would likely get the start at strong safety.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
Curl registered 12 tickles (nine solo) and a tackle for loss during the 20-20 tie against the Giants on Sunday.
Curl led the team in both solo and total tackles, both of which were also new season highs for the safety. The 23-year-old played every defensive snap for the ninth straight game and has recorded at least five tackles in all but one game this season. Curl will look to maintain this production after the bye week in a rematch against the Giants.
