The Los Angeles Rams are hopeful that tight end Terrance Ferguson will not remain on injured reserve for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season, according to a report from Rams Wire. Ferguson was placed on IR earlier in the campaign, but the team is exploring the possibility of activating him before the season concludes.
Under current NFL rules, teams are allowed to return a limited number of players from injured reserve during the season. The Rams' optimism suggests Ferguson's recovery timeline may be shorter than initially anticipated, potentially allowing him to contribute in the latter stages of the year.
Ferguson, a second-year player, had been working into the Rams' offensive rotation before the injury. His return would provide additional depth at tight end for a Los Angeles offense that has navigated multiple personnel changes this season.
The Rams have not disclosed the specific nature of Ferguson's injury or a target date for his potential return to practice. Head coach Sean McVay is expected to address the situation in upcoming media availability as the team evaluates its roster options for the stretch run.
