McCollough recorded 51 tackles (36 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass defenses over17 games in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
A small boost to playing time didn't translate to much improvement in the stat line in year two for McCollough, who had four interceptions in his rookie year but failed to earn one in 2025. The second-year safety did manage to earn his first sacks of his pro career and added eight more tackles year-to-year while functioning as a reliable backup behind Kamren Curl and Kamren Kinchens. With Curl entering free agency, McCollough may be asked to step into a starting role in 2026 if Curl chooses to depart.

McCollough (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough was able to shed an injury designation for Week 18 after logging a full practice Friday. The Rams intend to play their starters despite being limited to the NFC's fifth or sixth seed for the playoffs, but McCollough could still see a significant number of snaps on defense if either or both of Kamren Curl and Kamren Kinchens were to operate on a snap count.

McCollough (hip) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough followed up his limited tag from Wednesday's walkthrough with an official limited practice Thursday. The safety is nursing a hip injury that he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Falcons, and he'll have one more chance to be a full participant at practice before Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

McCollough (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough was able to return to Monday's loss against the Falcons after briefly exiting due to a hip injury. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice and potentially avoid an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals. McCollough has accumulated 22 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses in the nine games since the Rams' Week 8 bye.

McCollough (hip) has returned to action Monday against Atlanta, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough was briefly sidelined with a hip issue, but he has now made his way to the field. The second-year pro will continue to play a depth role in the secondary with Los Angeles.

McCollough (hip) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough suffered a hip injury in the first half, and his status for the remainder of the game is now up in the air. The 25-year-old's absence makes the Rams rather thin at star/nickel with Josh Wallace (ankle) already unavailable, per Stu Jackson of the team's official site.

McCollough (illness) was estimated a s a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough fell ill Saturday and was added to the Rams' injury report as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit. He ended up being able to play in that victory, logging a 65 percent defensive snap share. McCollough was then deemed a non-participant for Monday's walkthrough, but after being estimated as a full participant one day later, he appears good to go for Thursday's matchup in Seattle.

McCollough (illness) is active for Sunday's clash against Detroit, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough was added to the Rams' injury report Saturday due to an illness, but he's feeling well enough to play one day later. The second-year safety posted a season-high 76 percent defensive snap share last week against Arizona and has seen his reps increase four straight games.

McCollough was added to the injury report with an illness Saturday and is questionable to play Sunday versus the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough did not show up on the injury report prior to Saturday, so it appears he came down with an illness at some point since Friday's practice. The second-year safety has been productive while playing a reserve role on defense as well as a significant share of snaps on special teams. In 13 games, he's totaled 38 tackles, 2.0 sacks and three passes defended. If McCollough sits out, then Chris Smith and/or Tanner Ingle could see increased playing time behind starting safeties Kamren Curl and Kamren Kinchens.

McCollough recorded 43 tackles, four passes defended, four interceptions and a touchdown across 17 games with the Rams in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
McCollough signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 draft. He impressively made the team out of training camp and began the year primarily playing on special teams, though he proved to be a versatile playmaker on the defensive side of the ball when called upon. McCollough regularly played in the box, in the slot and at free safety, so there's a good chance he sees an expanded role somewhere in the Los Angeles defensive unit in 2025.
