Wagner recorded nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner posted a season-high nine tackles, but he fell short of recording a sack in three straight games to start the campaign. Across his first three appearances with the Rams, the veteran linebacker has 25 tackles and two sacks. He'll look to maintain his strong play against the 49ers in Week 4.

Wagner recorded seven tackles (three solo) and a sack during Sunday's 31-27 win against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner's stat line looked very similar to his Week 1 performance, and for the second straight week the top linebacker for the Rams was on the field for 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, which should be the theme for Wagner throughout the season. Wagner will look to make it three straight weeks with a sack against the Raiders in Week 3.

Wagner recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one sack during Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner finished one tackle behind Troy Hill for the team lead and tied three other players with seven. He also recorded one of the team's two sacks during the season opener. The veteran linebacker signed a five-year, $65 million deal with the Rams after being released by Seattle this offseason. He's recorded at least 100 tackles in each of his first 10 seasons in the NFL and will look to continue that streak during his first campaign with Los Angeles.

The Rams have agreed to terms with Wagner, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, Wagner's deal is for five years and worth up to $65 million. The Seahawks released the linebacker earlier this month, but the 31-year-old remains productive at this stage of his career and is coming off a career-high 170-tackle season. With the Rams, Wagner -- who's presumably past the knee issue that caused him to miss Seattle's season finale -- slots in as a starting inside linebacker alongside Ernest Jones, with his addition representing a boost to the team's defense against the run as well as in coverage.

The Seahawks informed Wagner (knee) that he's being released Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seattle agreed to send quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver earlier Tuesday, and the departure of Wagner even further signifies a changing of the guard for the Seahawks. The veteran linebacker has a cap hit of $20.35 million in 2022 for the final year of his contract, but Seattle can cut him with a dead cap charge of only $3.75 million. Wagner has at least 133 total tackles in each of the past six seasons, and in 2021 he totaled 170 tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 games.

Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he'll be held out for Sunday's regular-season finale. He appeared in 16 games during the 2021 campaign before sustaining a sprained MCL and PCL in Week 17, and he totaled 170 tackles (93 solo), a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and five pass defenses.

Wagner (knee) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner hurt his knee on the first defensive play of this past Sunday's game against the Lions and didn't return. Eventually, he was diagnosed with MCL and PCL sprains after an MRI, threatening his availability for a Week 18 visit to Arizona. According to Boyle, Wagner said Wednesday that his knee is receiving treatment and he'll play the waiting game to see if he'll be able to suit up Sunday. With no on-field work to speak of yet, Wagner may be trending in the wrong direction, but he at least has one more practice to prove to the Seahawks training staff that he can play through the injuries.

Wagner (knee) was held out of Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After lasting just one defensive play due to MCL and PCL sprains sustained Week 17 against the Lions, Wagner was believed to be trending toward an absence this Sunday in Arizona, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Wagner wouldn't commit to such a fate Wednesday, telling Boyle that he's receiving treatment on his knee and will see how the rest of the week plays out to see if he may be able to play this weekend. Wagner has missed just one game since the start of the 2016 campaign, but it remains to be seen if he'll log a second Sunday.

Wagner was diagnosed with sprains to the MCL and PCL in his knee Monday and shouldn't require surgery, but he's expected to be sidelined for Sunday's game at Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Lions, though it was initially described as a sprained kneecap. Regardless, the 31-year-old is likely to be sidelined for the final game of the season, which would be his first absence since 2018 and only his second game missed since 2015. The Seahawks have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so he's likely seen the field for the final time this season. Assuming he's out Week 18, Wagner would finish the campaign with a career-high 170 tackles (93 solo) to go along with one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 contests.

Wagner (knee) suffered a sprained kneecap in Sunday's 51-29 victory over the Lions, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wagner underwent an MRI following Sunday's contest, which fortunately revealed he did not suffer any major damage. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but was ultimately kept from returning. His status for Week 18 is undetermined. Given the Seahawks have been eliminated from the playoff picture, it would not be surprising if they err on the side of caution with their starting middle linebacker.
