Rams' Kamren Curl: Questionable for Week 10
Rotowire
Curl (knee) was a limited practice participant Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dolphins, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Curl has played through a knee injury during the Rams' last two games, and although he wasn't able to log a full practice this week, he should be good to go Monday. The 2020 seventh-round pick has logged 44 tackles (31 solo), two passes defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across eight regular-season games.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Able to practice Friday
Rotowire
Curl (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Curl opened the week with a DNP on Thursday, but he was able to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity. He's played through a knee injury in the Rams' last two games, so even if he's not able to log a full practice Saturday, he should be able to suit up against Miami on Monday.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay relayed Thursday that Curl (knee) wouldn't participate in practice but should play Monday against the Dolphins, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Curl has played through a knee injury in the Rams' last two games, so Thursday's absence is likely a maintenance day for the 2020 seventh-round pick. While playing through the injury, Curl has seen his snap count decrease as he's ceded playing time to Kamren Kinchens and Jaylen McCollough.

Rotowire
Curl (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Curl was injured in the opening quarter of last week's win over the Vikings but was able to return to that contest and got in some limited practices this week. He should be fine for his normal role in the Rams' defensive backfield Sunday.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Back in Thursday's game
Rotowire
Curl (knee) has returned to Thursday night's game against the Vikings.
The safety got hurt on the opening drive after making two tackles (one solo). Curl did not miss a defensive snap across the Rams' first six games, and while he won't match that reliability Thursday, his quick return may allow him to come close. The fifth-year pro has 41 tackles (28 solo), two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Scores fumble-recovery TD
Rotowire
Curl recorded seven solo tackles, two passes defended, and one fumble recovery that was returned 33 yards for a touchdown during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.
Curl played 100% of snaps for the sixth consecutive game and turned in an outstanding performance with a season high in solo tackles and passes defended. He also scooped up a Gardner Minshew fumble after a Cobie Durant sack and returned it for a Rams' touchdown in the second quarter. The Rams will need Curl to be at his best on a short week, as the potent Vikings passing game comes to town in Week 8 for a Thursday night matchup.

Rams' Kamren Curl: Bolsters Rams' secondary
Rotowire
Curl (quadriceps) signed a two-year, $13 million deal with the Rams on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Curl was drafted in the seventh round of the 2020 draft, but he maintained a significant role on the defensive unit for the Commanders in all four of his seasons with the team. He topped 80 tackles in each of those campaigns and had at least four passes defensed on three occasions. The 24-year-old -- who is presumably past a quad injury that sidelined him in Washington's season finale -- is in line to play a key role in a revamped Rams' secondary that also includes the newly added Darious Williams.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Curl (quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
The 24-year-old safety out of Arkansas popped up on the Commanders' injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to a quadriceps issue. Curl has yet to miss a game this year, but he'll almost certainly carry an injury designation into Washington's season finale unless he's able to practice in full Friday.
Curl registered 11 tackles (eight solo) and three pass deflections in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Falcons.
Curl logged double-digit tackles for the second time this season en route to Washington's third win of the year. The 24-year-old is currently on pace to set a new career high in tackles and will look to increase those numbers versus the Giants next week.

Rotowire
Curl (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Bills, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Coach Ron Rivera suggested Curl will play, saying he's more probable than questionable. The 2020 seventh-round pick has played all 128 defensive snaps through two games, registering 19 tackles and one pass breakup.

Rotowire
Curl recorded 10 tackles (eight solo, one for a loss) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.
He also played on all 58 defensive snaps on Sunday. Curl played in just 12 games last season due to injuries but managed to finish third on the team with 88 total tackles. The 2020 seventh-round pick out of Arkansas emerged as a leader in his rookie year and will be a key piece for the Commanders' defense. They'll hit the road for Week 2 to take on the Broncos.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Curl (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.
Curl's inability to suit up shouldn't come as a surprise, as he was downgraded to doubtful Saturday after logging limited practices all week. In his absence, Jeremy Reaves should draw a start against Cleveland.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Curl (ankle) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Curl was unavailable for the Commanders' Week 16 loss to the 49ers while dealing with an ankle issue, and his status is now in question for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. The safety was able to practice in a limited capacity this week, which does bode well for his chances to play versus Cleveland. If he is ultimately ruled out, Jeremy Reaves would likely get the start at strong safety.

Rotowire
Curl registered 12 tickles (nine solo) and a tackle for loss during the 20-20 tie against the Giants on Sunday.
Curl led the team in both solo and total tackles, both of which were also new season highs for the safety. The 23-year-old played every defensive snap for the ninth straight game and has recorded at least five tackles in all but one game this season. Curl will look to maintain this production after the bye week in a rematch against the Giants.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Curl (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Curl didn't practice at all last week and was ultimately ruled out for the season opener. Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said he's "pretty optimistic" Curl will miss only one game, so he appears on pace to make his season debut against the Lions on Sunday, though he'll likely need to progress to at least one full practice this week before being ruled available.

Commanders' Kamren Curl: Hopes to play Week 1
Rotowire
Curl recently underwent thumb surgery, but he hopes to be available for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports reports.
Curl suffered the injury during the Commanders' second exhibition game and sat out the preseason finale. It's unclear when exactly the surgery occurred, but he appears to have avoided a significant issue. Nonetheless, Washington may still opt to be cautious and keep him sidelined for at least a game. If Curl were to miss game action, Darrick Forrest would likely be the next man up, while rookie Percy Butler would step into a backup role.
