Long (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Baltimore, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging full practices throughout the week, Long apparently isn't a sure thing to suit up, as he hasn't played in a game since Week 5. Though he's no longer worthy of IDP consideration, the Rams would surely appreciate Long's return, especially with Robert Quinn (hip) also listed as questionable.

Long (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long required the Rams' bye week and four additional games to recover from a knee injury, but his first appearance since Week 5 appears to be nigh. In his return Sunday at Baltimore, he'll seek to boost a pass rush that has tallied the third-most sacks in the NFL with 29, two of them by Long's hands.

Long (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Bears, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
EDGE Analysis
Long returned to practice Friday but was listed as doubtful on the injury report, so it's not surprising that he'll sit out once again. His next opportunity to play will come in Week 11 against Baltimore.

Long (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Minnesota, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Long missing a third consecutive game, William Hayes (questionable-thigh) is in line to make another start, assuming his own injury hasn't gotten worse since last week. The Minnesota offensive line will still have its hands full.

Long (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Long missing a second straight game, William Hayes (questionable-thigh) should get another start at defensive end, if he's able to play. Neither player warrants IDP consideration.

Long (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Williams Hayes will replace Long in the starting lineup for at least one game. With just three sacks in 11 games since the beginning of 2014, Long doesn't warrant IDP consideration, though he's still a useful player for the Rams.

Long (knee) is expected to miss Sunday's contest with the Browns, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luckily Cleveland is not an offensive powerhouse, but St. Louis' defensive line struggled at times without Long last season. William Hayes will take his spot in the starting lineup.

Long tallied his first sack of the season in a 24-10 loss to Washington on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Long also picked up six tackles in the tough defeat. He hasn't hit 10-plus sacks in a couple years, but has an outside chance this season with linemen focused on Robert Quinn and Aaron Donald.

Long (ankle) is listed as active Sunday versus the Giants, Myle Simmons of the Rams' official site reports. Long has increased his percentage of defense snaps in three consecutive games since returning to action in Week 13, taking the field for 48 of 68 snaps (70.6 percent) in the Rams' last outing on Dec. 11. With four solo tackles, one sack, and one fumble recovery to date, though, he has yet to uphold his standard from previous seasons.
