Easley (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move comes as little surprise following Easley's surgery Monday. With the move to IR, Easley's 2018 season is a thing of the past and he'll enter the offseason with questions about his future in Los Angeles.

Easley (knee) underwent surgery Monday, Vincent Bonsignore of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although unofficial, it appears Easley's season is over. The Rams will likely address Easley's status in the coming days but given the surgery, it seems more than likely that Easley will begin setting his sights on 2019. Employed mainly as a reserve linebacker, Los Angeles' on-field production shouldn't take too much of a dip without Easley.

Easley (knee) could remained sidelined for a significant amount of time, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Easley seems to have suffered a significant injury during the Rams' Week 3 victory over the Chargers. The 2014 first-rounder has a history of serious knee issues, so expect an update on Easley's health in the near future. The depth linebacker played mostly a special teams role, so his extended absence should have a minimal impact on Los Angeles' defense.

Easley (knee) will likely be questionable to play Thursday against the Vikings, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Easley injured his knee in Sunday's win over the Chargers after going through three major knee surgeries throughout his career. Primarily a special teams players, his absence wouldn't have a major factor in fantasy if he were to be sidelined Thursday.

Easley is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a knee injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Easley serves mostly a special teams role for the Rams, so his injury is unlikely to impact the team's defense during Sunday's contest. If Easley is unable to return, John Franklin-Myers and Ethan Westbrooks could be in line to receive increased rotational defensive snaps.

Easley (knee) was promoted to the active roster Monday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Easley opened training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list following the torn ACL he suffered last season. The news of activation is promising for the 2014 first-round pick looking to establish a career footing. While he's still buried on the depth chart, Easley could be evaluated more closely by the coaching staff this preseason given Aaron Donald's lingering holdout.

Easley (knee) will begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Easley missed all of last season with a torn ACL and is nearing a return. However, he isn't ready for the start of camp and he remains without a concrete return timetable. Look for Tanzel Smart and John Franklin to pick up some extra reps along the defensive line as long as Easley remains out.

Easley, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL last October, revealed he also underwent surgery to repair a damaged LCL in August, the defensive lineman said on Episode 2 of the Rams original series "Behind the Grind."
EDGE Analysis
Easley went down in the opening days of training camp last summer and spent the entire 2017 season on injured reserve. However, it's apparent that the full extent of his injury wasn't disclosed. In any case, the ACL injury is the main concern here and, given the timing of the injury, Easley should be full-go in time for this year's training camp. Assuming he makes a full recovery, Easley is poised to enter the 2018 season as a key rotational piece on a stacked Rams defensive line that added three-time first-team All-Pro Ndamukong Suh this offseason.

Easley (knee) intends to sign a one-year deal with the Rams on Monday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The big man off the edge saw his year flash by in the blink of an eye upon tearing his ACL before the start of the 2017 regular season. In his first season with the Rams back in 2016, Easley registered 3.5 sacks and was a key contributor in the trenches for Los Angeles.
