NegativeInjuryOct 27, 2026
Terrance Ferguson, the Rams' tight end, has not had his practice window opened yet and remains in injury limbo alongside Myles Garrett. Head coach Sean McVay has not made a determination on whether to open Ferguson's practice window ahead of the Chargers game and stated he is not prepared to answer questions about Ferguson's potential return. McVay will consult with the Rams' medical team before deciding whether Ferguson will practice this week, with no timeline or medical guidance shared publicly.NegativeInjuryOct 26, 2026
Ferguson, a pass-catching tight end, has been on injured reserve since Week 3 with conflicting reports on return timeline. His absence is identified as looming large for Rams' deep passing game effectiveness; the source suggests the Rams may not be able to push the ball downfield effectively until Ferguson returns.NegativeInjuryOct 21, 2026
Terrance Ferguson isn't going to come back to practice yet either, indicating continued absence from team activities.NegativeInjuryOct 19, 2026
Terrance Ferguson is on injured reserve. Through Week 7, Ferguson has accumulated just 55 yards combined with three other tight ends (Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen, Max Klare), compared to Tyler Higbee's 246 yards.NegativeInjuryOct 18, 2026
Terrance Ferguson, the Rams' vertical tight end threat, is on injured reserve after being healthy for only a little over two games. His absence is directly impacting the deep passing game, which has struggled significantly with only 22 deep attempts through five games and a 36.4% adjusted accuracy rate. Ferguson's injury looms large as no other receiver with significant playing time is capable of spreading the field vertically.NegativeInjuryOct 13, 2026
Ferguson lost to IR with an ankle injury, creating opportunity for Tyler Higbee to assume a larger role in the Rams' tight end rotation.NegativeInjuryOct 12, 2026
The Rams player is missing for an extended period longer than two weeks due to injury, affecting the team's depth chart and offensive availability during a critical stretch of the season.NegativeInjuryOct 11, 2026
Rams key contributor remains on IR with ankle injury; will not be available for Week 5 game against Buffalo Bills.NegativeInjuryOct 10, 2026
Terrance Ferguson was injured last week and placed on injured reserve; the source indicates it doesn't sound like Ferguson should miss more than the required four weeks on injured reserve. His absence contributed to the Rams using 13 personnel on just one snap last week.PositiveInjuryOct 8, 2026
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson suffered an ankle injury in Week 3 against Denver and was placed on 4-week IR, making him eligible to return Week 8 vs. Chargers. Sean McVay gave an encouraging update saying Ferguson will be 'ready to go' after the IR stint. Before injury, Ferguson had a breakout game vs. Giants with a TD reception and strong catch-and-run plays, though he also showed room for improvement with a few drops. Ferguson is a second-year player who has demonstrated upside but hasn't dominated; the Rams are hoping he can make a significant impact upon return.NegativeInjuryOct 6, 2026
TE was placed on injured reserve because of a medial ankle sprain. Ferguson had emerged as an important part of the passing game early this season, making his absence significant. However, he is expected to return later this season rather than miss the entire year. His absence creates increased opportunities for Colby Parkinson and rookie Max Klare at tight end.NegativeInjuryOct 3, 2026
Terrance Ferguson was placed on injured reserve and will miss at least the next month, removing him from fantasy consideration for the near term.NegativeInjuryOct 3, 2026
Rams tight end ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles due to ankle injury; also placed on Injured Reserve List.NegativeInjuryOct 3, 2026
Ruled out Week 4 with ankle injury sustained in Week 3 loss to the Denver Broncos. Ferguson went down twice in the loss, injuring his ankle in the first quarter and then again in the second after returning.NegativeInjuryOct 2, 2026
The Rams placed tight end Terrance Ferguson on injured reserve on Friday after he left Week 3's loss to the Denver Broncos with an ankle injury. Ferguson is third on the team with 12 targets, catching seven passes for 63 yards and a touchdown through three games; as a rookie, he had 11 catches for 231 yards. The 2025 second-round pick is now in danger of prolonging the wait for Rams fans hoping to see the potential that made him a top-50 pick.NegativeInjuryOct 2, 2026
Terrance Ferguson sustained a medial ankle sprain during Week 3 against the Denver Broncos and is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Sean McVay.NegativeInjurySep 30, 2026
Terrance Ferguson is the Rams' next best pass catcher in the YAC facet after Puka Nacua, but he was a nonfactor in Week 1 before exiting early in the third game. He is unlikely to recover in time for Week 4, leaving the Rams without their top two YAC receivers during a critical stretch.NegativeInjurySep 29, 2026
Tight end Terrance Ferguson suffered a medial ankle sprain during the Broncos game, an aggravation of an existing injury, and is likely to miss Sunday's game against the Eagles. Ferguson has played 43 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps this season.NegativeInjurySep 29, 2026
Ferguson sustained a medial ankle sprain during Week 3's loss to Denver and is likely to miss at least Week 4 against Philadelphia. He briefly departed after the injury, returned for two snaps, then departed again after his lone reception. McVay noted the sprain could linger if it is "more high than low." Ferguson's absence could force the Rams to change their offensive identity at tight end.NegativeInjurySep 28, 2026
Ferguson suffered an ankle injury in the first half that limited his production to 22 snaps (26%); the source reports he is probably out against the Eagles.NegativeInjurySep 28, 2026
Terrance Ferguson is among key Rams playmakers sidelined with injury, contributing to LA's defensive struggles in the loss to Denver despite the Rams outgaining the Broncos by 225 yards.NegativeInjurySep 28, 2026
Terrance Ferguson has been battling an ankle issue, affecting his availability as a complementary piece in the Rams' secondary.PositiveInjurySep 28, 2026
Ferguson re-aggravated an ankle injury in the first quarter and did not return, missing what was setup as a perfect 'star is born' opportunity without Puka Nacua in the lineup. Following an encouraging but far from perfect breakout performance on Monday Night Football the prior week, Ferguson should have been a major part of the Rams offense. The source notes it's frustrating that Ferguson couldn't step up, and assumes the offense would have been better off if his 11 targets instead went to Ferguson rather than Tyler Higbee, given Ferguson's superior athleticism and pass-catching ability.PositiveBreakoutSep 27, 2026
Appears on the cusp of a breakout as the Rams TE#1; his combination of size and athleticism makes him the odds-on favorite to be Matthew Stafford's primary target tonight; his Week 2 performance vs. the Giants indicates he is comfortable as a primary weapon and ready to live up to his draft pedigree.PositiveUsageSep 27, 2026
Ferguson demonstrated Week 2 production that warrants continued volume against Denver: caught 6 of 9 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown with a 29% target share. He ran 40% of snaps from the slot and received 7 targets from that alignment, including his touchdown. His versatility and athletic ability create matchup problems—he can attack vertically against linebackers or leverage his size against smaller cornerbacks. The source emphasizes maintaining Ferguson's volume as an offensive key to victory, positioning him as the primary option to fill the void left by Nacua's absence.PositiveBreakoutSep 26, 2026
Terrance Ferguson had his coming-out party against the Giants with 9 targets, 6 receptions, 54 yards, and 1 TD—the most significant workload of his career. Ferguson is the key to unlocking the Rams' 13 personnel package, which allows LA to threaten in the run game while Ferguson functions as a receiver and vertical threat. He's McVay's ace up his sleeve that hasn't been fully tapped into. With Nacua likely out, Ferguson is positioned to see increased volume and could catch Denver by surprise.PositiveRoleSep 25, 2026
Highly touted second-year TE could serve as a coming-out party if Colby Parkinson (questionable) cannot play. McVay indicated Parkinson was 'trending in the right direction' but it remains to be seen if he takes the field. Ferguson was targeted nine times vs Giants, catching six passes for 54 yards, showing volume potential.PositiveRoleSep 25, 2026
Ferguson, a tight end, could see opportunity in Week 3 against Denver when Surtain is occupied covering Adams. The source identifies this as a chance for Ferguson to showcase his field-stretching ability, suggesting the Rams may look to exploit vertical concepts through Ferguson when Surtain is not available to defend downfield routes.PositiveRoleSep 25, 2026
Emerged as a potential replacement for Nacua in Week 2, displaying the physical catch-and-run ability that Nacua brings to the offense. Ferguson made a nine-yard reception and caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford on the same drive, demonstrating his capacity to contribute in the red zone and move the chains. His even-keeled demeanor and faith-based approach to handling mistakes and big plays suggest he can handle increased responsibility if Nacua remains out.PositiveUsageSep 24, 2026
Ferguson caught 1 touchdown in Week 2 win over Giants, establishing him as a receiving target in the Rams passing game and a beneficiary of Matthew Stafford's strong performance.PositiveUsageSep 23, 2026
Ferguson caught a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night, contributing to Stafford's four-touchdown performance.PositiveDepth ChartSep 22, 2026
Terrance Ferguson stakes a claim for TE#1 role based on snap count analysis; the source's episode title and focus suggest Ferguson is emerging as the lead tight end option for the Rams.PositiveBreakoutSep 22, 2026
Ferguson is ready for a breakout in his second season; he accumulated 36 snaps (58%), six catches on nine targets, ran routes on over 70% of snaps, and had a 31% target share in Week 2. The source notes it wasn't just the numbers but his role in the offense—deployed inline, out of the slot, and in motion—that signals he will be the main tight end going forward. After two weeks, Ferguson leads the team in routes run, target catches, yards, and touchdowns. He flashed all-around skills: finding soft areas in the zone, catching away from his body, running after the catch, and showing improved blocking. The source emphasizes he was drafted in the top half of Round 2 for a reason and Monday was time for work in the underneath/medium zones.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Caught a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in the Week 2 28-6 win over the Giants. Ferguson was one of four touchdown recipients for Stafford in the dominant offensive performance.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Ferguson dropped two passes in Week 2, which hurt Stafford's completion percentage and team execution. The source lists his drops among the player-inflicted blemishes in the Rams' otherwise solid performance.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Ferguson caught 6 of 9 targets for 54 yards and 1 TD. The source raises a key question: is Ferguson a big part of the Rams offense or was his productivity a result of missing Puka Nacua? The Rams used 13 personnel on more than half their plays, with Ferguson as the key receiving threat in heavier personnel, suggesting this could be a sign of positive things to come.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Ferguson caught Stafford's fourth passing touchdown of the game in the second half to extend the Rams' lead to 28-6, helping seal the victory.PositiveProjectionSep 20, 2026
Had one target last week but is a primary beneficiary of Nacua's absence; scored touchdowns in all three games he played last season where either Nacua or Adams were unavailable, providing a historical precedent for touchdown upside when the star receiver is sidelined.PositiveUsageSep 20, 2026
Terrance Ferguson ran 12 routes against the 49ers in 13 personnel, the second-most among Rams tight ends. This reflects his significant role in the Rams' expanded tight end usage strategy, which produced 7.5 yards per play in 13 personnel in Week 1, 1.3 yards more per play than the Rams averaged in those groupings in 2025.PositiveRoleSep 19, 2026
Should prepare for elevated role if Puka Nacua is inactive; positioned as secondary target option alongside Colby Parkinson if top receiver is unavailable.PositiveRoleSep 16, 2026
Rams tight end drafted instead of linebacker Carson Schwesinger (Rams traded pick 26 to Atlanta). In Week 1, Ferguson had zero catches on one target and 73% route share in first half, running more routes than any other Rams tight end. Source notes through one season and one game, Ferguson has yet to have the impact on the passing game that Sean McVay hoped for. Must also co-exist with Max Klare.NegativeRoleSep 16, 2026
Terrance Ferguson's second NFL season started quietly on the field for the Rams, with limited early impact in Week 1, though the tight end received significant personal news off the field with the announcement that he and his wife are expecting their first child, a baby girl, in early 2027.NegativeRoleSep 12, 2026
Ferguson played 31 snaps (51% snap share) at tight end and had just one target where he was covered and badly overthrown; although most fans want to see him as a weapon, it's good to see him working as a blocker as well.PositiveUsageSep 11, 2026
Ferguson, a Rams 2025 pick, had zero catches on one target in Week 1; the source uses him as an example of the Rams' failure to develop their rookie class.PositiveProjectionSep 10, 2026
Terrance Ferguson, second-year tight end, projected to score the first touchdown of the 2026 season and the first touchdown in Melbourne, Australia, hauling in a 17-yard pass from Matthew Stafford as the Rams capitalize on early offensive opportunities.PositiveUsageSep 6, 2026
Ferguson scored one of Stafford's five TDs in the London international game against Jacksonville, benefiting from the absence of Puka Nacua and Stafford's distribution across 10 different receivers.NegativeRoleSep 5, 2026
Figures to be the de facto WR#3 for the Rams behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams; part of a receiving depth group the source views as weak.PositiveDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
Ferguson, a recent draft pick, is a shoo-in to stay on the Rams' 53-man roster to start 2026, securing his position ahead of the August 30 roster cutdown despite a crowded tight end room that included Colby Parkinson, Max Klare, Tyler Higbee, and Mark Redman (who was traded to Green Bay).PositiveRoleAug 28, 2026
Terrance Ferguson is positioned as a potential replacement for Puka Nacua if Nacua misses Week 1 due to suspension or injury; could see increased targets and offensive role if Nacua is unavailable against the 49ers.NegativeInjuryAug 26, 2026

Projected as one of four tight ends on the Rams' 53-man roster alongside Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, and Davis Allen; rested in both preseason games as an established roster player.PositiveBreakoutAug 11, 2026
Ferguson reportedly knows all receiving positions within the offense and is aligning all over the field. The Rams would like to utilize his run-after-catch ability more often, something he consistently flashed at Oregon. The source states that things seem to be trending in the right direction for Ferguson, last year's top draft pick, and predicts a breakout campaign.NegativeProjectionAug 8, 2026
Turf Show Times posed a direct receiver productivity comparison between Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare for the upcoming season, framing both as candidates for fantasy consideration.PositiveBreakoutAug 7, 2026
Second-year tight end positioned as the Rams' most direct path to elevating their offense to the next level. Ferguson posted an elite 9.57 RAS at Oregon with rare speed and explosiveness; as a rookie, he caught 11 passes averaging 21 yards per reception with 9 of 11 receptions resulting in first downs or touchdowns. He led all qualified tight ends with 17.6 air yards per attempt, more than six yards higher than second place, despite playing only 39% of snaps and catching just 40% of targets. Head coach Sean McVay said Ferguson is "everything and that much more than I hoped he would be" and believes he'll be "a huge part of what we're gonna do for years to come." Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer noted Ferguson "is now proving to be a guy who can play all over the formation and looks like he could be a force after the catch." The Athletic Football Show named him a second-year X-factor, with co-host Dave Helman calling him "probably your best bet to become basically 'Wide Receiver 3' in that offense." The source argues the Rams will find ways to get him on the field despite depth chart competition.PositiveBreakoutAug 7, 2026
Second-year tight end with elite 9.57 RAS from Oregon showing tantalizing raw speed and explosiveness; caught 11 passes as rookie averaging 21 yards per reception with 9 of 11 receptions going for first down or touchdown; led all qualified tight ends with 17.6 air yards per attempt, more than six yards higher than second-place finisher; played only 39% of offensive snaps and caught 40% of targets, leaving significant room for growth; source describes him as 'skeleton key who can open new doors for this Rams offense' and potential 'Wide Receiver 3' in the formation; Sean McVay stated 'He's everything and that much more than I hoped he would be' and believes he'll be 'a huge part of what we're gonna do for years to come'; Albert Breer noted Ferguson 'has had a fantastic offseason' and 'looks like he could be a force after the catch' and 'could grow into one of the NFL's best tight ends'; The Athletic Football Show named him a second-year X-factor.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026
Ferguson is expected to make the 53-man roster as one of five tight ends; the Rams' commitment to 13 personnel supports keeping five tight ends.PositiveBreakoutAug 4, 2026
Terrance Ferguson continues to impress in practice in the Rams' tight-end room. A fantasy the source speculates Ferguson could emerge as the de facto WR3 in the offense, projecting 5-8 targets per game and plenty of end zone shots, with the idea rooted in the Rams running even more heavy sets this year and Ferguson's chemistry with Matthew Stafford on throws where he was wide open.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026
Tight end Terrance Ferguson is identified as a talented depth option in the Rams' tight end room capable of making plays in the passing game. The source notes that Ferguson's presence as part of the Rams' impressive depth allows the team to continue operating its offense without dramatically changing practice rotations during Davis Allen's injury absence.PositiveBreakoutAug 3, 2026
2025 draft pick tight end showing strong offseason form with versatile formation usage and after-the-catch potential; the source states Ferguson had a fantastic offseason, is proving to be a guy who can play all over the formation, and the Rams believe he could grow into one of the NFL's best tight ends.PositiveRoleAug 2, 2026
The source predicts Ferguson will win Most Improved Player in his year two as a starting tight end alongside Colby Parkinson, suggesting a significant leap in opportunity and production from his rookie season.PositiveBreakoutAug 2, 2026
Ferguson has massive upside but does not yet crack the very upper echelon at tight end relative to peers like George Kittle, Trey McBride, or Brock Bowers.NegativeRoleJul 30, 2026
36% of Rams fans surveyed believe Ferguson has the most to prove in training camp; source notes that in year two, Ferguson should be able to work into a steady role, but if he cannot, his future with McVay's offense is questionable.PositiveRoleJul 30, 2026
36% of Rams fans surveyed—the highest vote-getter—believe Ferguson has the most to prove in camp; the source notes Ferguson should be able to work into a steady role in year two, but if he cannot, his future with McVay is questionable.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
The source predicts Ferguson leads the Rams tight ends in receiving yards and touchdowns. Ferguson and Stafford were close throughout last season but could never quite fire on all cylinders, similar to Davante Adams. Now with his rookie year under his belt and beginning to nail down the nuances of a difficult position in a Sean McVay offense, the source believes the Rams have big plans for Ferguson in the flex role with frequent seam route plays for tight ends.NegativeUsageJul 26, 2026
Ferguson, drafted 46th overall in 2025, played in 14 games last season but started only three and logged just 39% of offensive snaps in the regular season per Pro Football Reference. Despite being a second-round pick, his snap share was lower than expected, which the source frames as a challenge for Klare's opportunity in the crowded TE room.PositiveRoleJul 23, 2026
Returning veteran tight end with versatility to line up anywhere and take advantage of mismatches; always a threat to attack deep in the Rams' five-man rotation built to compete and win in 2026.PositiveBreakoutJul 23, 2026
Battled injuries in his rookie year (groin early, hamstring late), but showed promising upside as a hybrid receiver-tight end. Ferguson averaged 21 yards per catch (11 catches on 25 targets) and demonstrated the ability to get behind defenders and make big plays. His rookie film shows crisp routes with sharp breaks that create separation, long stride and build-up speed to run past heavier-footed safeties and linebackers. Areas for development include catch percentage and physicality on contested catches. His blocking was better than draft pundits suggested—not a power player, but he showed ability to extend his long arms, stay in front, and lock out/screen off defenders. He has the hybrid chops to blur the lines of traditional personnel groupings.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
Ferguson appeared on 97.1% of fan-submitted 53-man rosters, indicating strong consensus that he will make the roster as a tight end. The source notes that the Rams are keeping five tight ends, which is part of Sean McVay's apparent insistence to load the tight end room.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
Ferguson is one of only two players under 25 who started games for the Rams last season and is 23 years old. His presence as a starting tight end reflects the Rams' limited youth depth, as the team is ranked dead last by ESPN in talented players under 25.PositiveRoleJul 22, 2026
Ferguson became the highest-drafted tight end out of Oregon since 1975 when the Rams selected him with the 46th-overall pick in 2025, signaling significant organizational investment and expectations.
