Rams' Poona Ford: Suffers season-ending triceps injury
Ford (triceps) will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reported Monday.
Ford suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. The defensive tackle signed a three-year, $27.6 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025 and was set to continue as a pivotal part of the team's pass rush throughout 2026. Ford finished his season with 15 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed over six games, logging no sacks.

Rams' Poona Ford: Becomes pivotal piece in first year
Ford ended the 2025 regular season with 47 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and added one pass defensed over 17 games with the Rams.
Ford signed a three-year $27.6 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025 after a career year in 2024 with the Chargers. The defensive tackle immediately added power to the center of the Rams' defense, further enabling second-year players Braden Fiske and Jared Verse to attack the offense. Ford will likely enter the 2026 season as the starting nose tackle.

Ford (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Rams' Poona Ford: Dealing with elbow issue
Ford (elbow) was estimated as a limited participant for the Rams' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Ford came away from the Rams' wild card victory at Carolina with a sack, but it looks like he also hurt his elbow in that game. He'll probably need to log a full practice by Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Rams' Poona Ford: Notches pair of sacks in 2025
Ford recorded 47 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed in 17 games in 2025.
The veteran nose tackle's first season as a Ram was in line with his typical production through his career, as his 47 tackles are second behind the 53 he recorded with Seattle in 2021. Ford continued to showcase his durability, playing in every game for the fifth time in the last six seasons. Ford will be entering the second year of a three-year, $30 million deal for the Rams in 2026 and will continue to anchor the defensive line along with Braden Fiske and Kobie Turner.

Rams' Poona Ford: Could play Sunday
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.

Rams' Poona Ford: Active vs. Carolina
Ford (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Ford popped up on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a calf injury. A late addition to the practice report typically doesn't bode well for a player's chance of suiting up on game day, but the veteran defensive lineman has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. In his first year with the Rams, Ford has totaled 30 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Rams' Poona Ford: Questionable for Sunday
Ford (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Ford appeared on the injury report Friday with a calf injury and was a limited participant in practice for the day. The ability to practice in any capacity means he has a decent chance at suiting up for the Rams' defense. Still, if the starter is unable to go, Ty Hamilton will likely be called upon to take more snaps at nose tackle.
