Terrance Ferguson, the Rams’ tight end, is not ready to return to practice next week, even though he’s eligible to come off injured reserve after landing there October 2nd with an ankle injury. This isn’t just a minor delay; it’s a real setback for a young player and his team.
The IR Delay Just Got Real
Adam Schefter of ESPN dropped the news, reporting Ferguson’s ankle is still an issue. The 2025 second-round pick was expected to start his 21-day return-to-practice window soon, which means getting back on the field to practice with the squad. But the report says it’s going to “take some time” before that window even opens. That’s a big bummer when you’re looking for guys to get healthy and back in the lineup.
Ferguson’s Impact On Hold
Ferguson’s season got sidelined early. He went down in Week 3 against the Broncos, and that ankle has been a pain for him and the Rams ever since. Before going on IR, he’d snagged 7 catches for 63 yards and a touchdown this season. It’s a noticeable drop from his rookie year in 2025 where he made 11 catches for 231 yards, showing flashes of what he could be.
This isn’t great news for the Rams. They’re going to be without their young tight end for longer than anyone probably hoped. Keep an eye on when that 21-day window actually opens, because right now, it sounds like it could be a while.
