Panthers' Jordan Fuller: Healthy scratch for Week 16
Rotowire
Fuller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Fuller is coming off a season-best nine-tackle performance against the Cowboys in Week 16. However, he will observe Sunday's game in street clothes as the Panthers opt to start undrafted rookie Demani Richardson at strong safety. Fuller's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 29.

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.

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.

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.

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.
