Long (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Long returned to practice in a limited fashion last Wednesday after sitting out the previous two weeks with a lingering groin injury, though he was still ruled inactive for Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Therefore, it's likely that the 24-year-old will need to log at least one full practice Thursday or Friday before in order to suit up again for the Ram's Week 6 matchup versus Carolina. With Long sidelined, cornerbacks Grant Haley and Derion Kendrick have taken on bigger roles in Los Angeles' banged-up secondary the past three weeks.

Long (groin) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long will miss his third straight game due to a lingering groin injury after returning to practice in a limited fashion during this week's practices. With fellow cornerback Cobie Durant (hamstring) also ruled inactive, expect Grant Haley, Robert Rochell and Derion Kendrick to all step into bigger roles in the Rams' banged-up secondary.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Long (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long has been ruled out for back-to-back games due to a groin issue, but he's returned to practice in a limited fashion and has a shot play in Week 5. With Troy Hill (groin) on IR, Long would be a candidate to step into a starting role if he's ultimately deemed available.

Long (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long logged his first limited practice since being ruled out with a groin injury in Week 3, which kept him sidelined during Monday's loss to the 49ers as well. With the 24-year-old sidelined, reserve cornerback Grant Haley and rookie Derion Kendrick have taken on more prominent roles in the Rams' secondary. Long recorded seven tackles over the first two weeks of the season, and he should step back into a starting role opposite Jalen Ramsey when healthy.

Long (groin) will be sidelined for Monday's game against the 49ers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long was absent at practice during the week, so this decision is not surprising. The absence will mark his second straight while he continues to nurse a groin injury. As a result, some combination of Grant Haley and Robert Rochell figure to fill in for him at cornerback.

Long (groin) did not practice Thursday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long was unable to practice to finish out last week, then was ruled out Friday for Week 3. He'll likely need to practice before the week is over to suit up Monday against the 49ers. If he's unable to play, Grant Haley may be inline to see extra opportunity.

Long (groin) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official Twitter reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long will miss Sunday's contest after he showed up on the injury report Wednesday with a groin issue. With both Troy Hill (groin) and Cobie Durant (hamstring) unavailable for the game as well, the Rams will be thin in their secondary as they take on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. Shaun Jolly was signed on Thursday and will likely step into a significant role in Week 3.

Long (groin) was unable to practice for the Rams on Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long landed on the Rams' injury report for the first time this season Wednesday with an unspecified groin injury. With both Troy Hill (groin) and rookie Cobie Durant (hamstring) having suffered injuries in Week 2, Long's availability will be crucial for the Rams' secondary in Week 3. The Rams signed defensive back Shaun Jolly on Thursday, who could see a workload if Long is unable to suit up Sunday.

Long (groin) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long recorded four tackles while playing 41 defensive snaps during Sunday's 31-27 win against the Falcons, but he is now dealing with an unspecified groin injury after appearing on the Rams' injury report for the first time this season. The starting cornerback's availability will prove very important for Los Angeles after Troy Hill (groin) and rookie Cobie Durant (hamstring) both suffered injuries in Week 2.

Long (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Long had a pick-six during Monday's win over the Cardinals before leaving with the knee injury, but coach Sean McVay said the cornerback is "doing good," per Brady Henderson of ESPN. Barring a setback, it appears the 23-year-old will be able to play in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Buccaneers.
