Panthers' Jordan Fuller: Gets green light for Sunday
Rotowire
Fuller (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
He had been listed as questionable heading into the day, but Fuller never looked to be at much risk of sitting out the Germany game after the Panthers officially reinstated him from injured reserve Saturday. Fuller was a full participant in practice throughout the week and should reclaim a starting role at safety as he suits up for the first time since Week 3.

Fuller was a full participant in Panthers practice throughout the week, but he still must be activated off Carolina's injured reserve list in order to suit up Sunday.

Rotowire
Fuller (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Fuller was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week.

Panthers' Jordan Fuller: Goes on IR
Rotowire
Fuller (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Fuller exited Sunday's win over the Raiders early with the injury and was unable to return. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks, leaving the Panthers without their starting free safety. In his absence, Nick Scott will be asked to continue filling in at the position, as he did Sunday, recording six tackles (four solo) in the process.

Rams' Jordan Fuller: Performs well in contract year
Rotowire
Fuller (ankle) ended the 2023 regular season with 94 tackles (61 solo), eight passes defended, three interceptions and three forced fumbles over 17 games played.
A year removed from a hamstring injury that cost him all but three games of the 2022 campaign, Fuller returned and logged 1,007 snaps on defense, while proving to be a disruptive force at safety with career highs in forced fumbles and passes defended. Fuller will be an unrestricted free agent heading into the offseason and will likely draw plenty of interest if he doesn't return to the Rams.

Rams' Jordan Fuller: Limited to begin Week 18 prep
Rotowire
Fuller (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Fuller sprained his ankle during Sunday's Week 17 win over the Giants but was still able to play 100 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps and finish with eight tackles and an interception. The safety's ability to practice, albeit in limited fashion, Wednesday suggests that the injury isn't major. That said, head coach Sean McVay has indicated that Los Angeles will rest multiple starters in Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers, so there's a chance Fuller won't suit up even if he's healthy enough to do so.

Beacham notes that the Rams will evaluate Fuller throughout the week and adds that the team has not decided whether to play starters in Week 18 against the 49ers. If Fuller doesn't play in the Rams' regular-season finale, Russ Yeast would likely fill in as the starting free safety.

Rams' Jordan Fuller: Forces fumble in loss
Rotowire
Fuller recorded seven tackles (three solo) and forced a fumble during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers.
The Rams' veteran safety had an up-and-down game, stripping Deebo Samuel for a fumble that went out of bounds in the fourth quarter but also missing a few key tackles that helped lead to the Rams' demise. The Bengals talented receiving duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins looms large in Week 3, but if Joe Burrow (calf) misses time, a much less threatening Jake Browning would be in line to test the Rams' secondary.

Fuller will likely be a game-time decision in Week 3 after he suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Falcons.
