Talib announced his decision to retire from the NFL via his personal Twitter account Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Talib suited up for five contests with the Rams in 2019 before suffering broken ribs and being traded to Miami for salary relief. The five-time Pro Bowler will be best remembered for his outstanding play in Denver as part of the "No Fly Zone," where he suited up from 2014 to 2017 and played a key role in winning Super Bowl 50. His 2013 performance in New England also earned Pro Bowl and second-team All Pro honors.

The Dolphins won't activate Talib (ribs) from IR this season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dolphins will use their second IR activation on rookie linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (foot), meaning they won't be able to bring back Talib. The 33-year-old was placed on IR by the Rams before being traded to the Dolphins on Oct. 29, and he's eligible to return Week 13 against the Eagles. Talib already stated he's healthy enough to play, but the Dolphins have opted to test out their young talent instead. Talib will be an unrestricted free agent in March, and he figures to have plenty of suitors when the time comes.

Talib (ribs) said he disagreed with being placed on injured reserve and that he's currently healthy enough to play, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talib was placed on IR by the Rams on Oct. 16 with the broken ribs and was traded to the Dolphins last week for salary relief, but apparently the injury isn't that severe. The veteran cornerback could be designated to return from IR for the final four games of the season, but it's unclear if Miami would want to use one of their two return designations on a 33-year-old that will be a free agent next season.

The Rams traded Talib (ribs) and a fifth-round selection to the Dolphins for a 2022 seventh-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talib's time with the Rams has been injury-plagued, as he missed eight games due to a high ankle sprain in 2018 before landing on IR with broken ribs this season. It's unclear how far along he is in his recovery, but the Dolphins have added some draft capital by taking on the veteran cornerback's expiring contract in this deal.

Talib (ribs) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talib missed Sunday's loss to the 49ers due to broken ribs and will now be sidelined for at least the next eight weeks due to the injury. Troy Hill is expected to slide into the starting role alongside recent trade-acquisition Jalen Ramsey.

The Rams plan on placing Talib (ribs) on injured reserve where he will be eligible to return later this season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talib was inactive for the Rams' Week 6 loss to the 49ers after suffering a rib injury the week prior. He will now be sidelined at least eight weeks before he is eligible to return from IR. The veteran cornerback is on the final season of a two-year contract. Troy Hill and Nickell Robey-Coleman figure to see increased roles as a result of the move.

Talib (ribs) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old was added to the injury report Wednesday and did not practice this week. Nickell Robey-Coleman and Troy Hill should see increased defensive roles in Talib's absence.

Talib (ribs) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first time this season Talib has popped up on the injury report, suggesting he's dealing with an injury rather than an obligatory vet day off. The 33-year-old has been solid for the Rams defense this campaign, playing at least 60 defensive snaps in every game, and has made 14 tackles (seven solo). It will be important to monitor Talib's practice status as the week goes on, but if he can't play Sunday, Troy Hill could see an increase in reps at cornerback.

Talib recorded two tackles and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

In his third week back from injured reserve, Talib logged more than 60 defensive snaps for a second game in a row and recorded his first interception as a Ram along the way. His heroics came at a critical juncture, too, considering Los Angeles was then down 17 points in the second half. The five-time Pro Bowler will look to continue his strong play in Week 16 when his team looks to exploit Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen, who's thrown 14 interceptions in 12 games this season.

Talib is expected to play a complete game against the Bears on Sunday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talib was limited to 26 snaps during Sunday's win over the Lions, in what was his first game back from injured reserve. Barring any setbacks, the 11th-year veteran will handle a full starting workload as he suits up against the Bears in Week 14.
