Rams' Braden Fiske: Needs minor procedure on knee
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Fiske will need a "minor procedure" on the knee that he injured during the Rams' NFC divisional-round loss to the Eagles this past Sunday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
McVay added that the surgery won't affect Fiske's availability for the beginning of the 2025 season. Fiske injured his knee while sacking Jalen Hurts in the first half of this past Sunday's game, and it was serious enough for him not to return. The 2024 second-round pick led all rookies during the regular season with 8.5 sacks and finished with 44 tackles (20 solo), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games. Fiske was also named as one of the five finalists for the AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

Rams' Braden Fiske: Tagged as questionable for Week 8
Rotowire
Fiske (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Fiske took advantage of the Rams' Week 6 bye to heal from a shoulder injury and suit up against the Raiders on Sunday, during which he logged two tackles across 45 snaps (38 on defense, seven on special teams). However, he came out of that contest with a back injury, and he was listed as a DNP on Monday and Tuesday. Fiske's ability to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday has earned him a questionable tag heading into Thursday's game, though whether he'll suit up will likely not be known until the Rams' inactive list is announced 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
