Barron (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron's status is anything but surprising, given that the 28-year-old has yet to participate in practice during the regular season and didn't play in the preseason. As long as Barron remains sidelined, expect Ramik Wilson to continue to start at inside linebacker.

Barron (ankle) is inactive for Monday's game at Oakland, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the heels of an offseason in which he concentrated on rehabbing from shoulder surgery, Barron didn't play in the preseason, but his absence from practice this week was blamed on an ankle injury. As the Rams embark on Week 1, they'll hand over duties at inside linebacker to Ramik Wilson.

Coach Sean McVay said Barron (Achilles) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Raiders, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron was slated to start at inside linebacker after making 86 tackles, one sack, four pass breakups and three interceptions in that role last season. If Barron does sit out, a mix of Ramik Wilson and Bryce Hager will fill the void.

Barron (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following February shoulder surgery, Barron was embedded in recovery mode, limiting him to not much more than morning walk-throughs once training camp commenced. Coach Sean McVay said before Thursday's session that "in terms of eliminating anybody yet [for Monday's game at Oakland], we're not at that point." No matter, Barron likely has to participate in some capacity to suit up Week 1. If he's unable to play, Ramik Wilson should slot into Barron's slot at inside linebacker.

Barron (shoulder) returned to practice Monday and coach Sean McVay hopes he'll be available for the season opener at Oakland, Rich Hammond of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron underwent offseason shoulder surgery and was a limited participant throughout the Rams' offseason program. The Week 1 matchup with the Raiders is still three weeks away, and Barron's return to practice at this point speaks well to the likelihood of his availability for the start of the regular season.

Barron (shoulder) was a limited participant in the Rams' offseason program, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron underwent shoulder surgery this offseason and wasn't allowed to do any team drills this spring. While it isn't clear if he'll be completely free from his restrictions when training camp arrives, Barron is nonetheless slated to play a huge role in the Rams defense this season. In fact, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said the linebacker could potentially be the team's defensive signal-caller.

Barron recently underwent shoulder surgery, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reason for Barron's surgery isn't clear, as he wasn't known to have hurt his shoulder. Regardless, the veteran linebacker is expected to be healthy in time for training camp.

Barron recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) during Saturday's 26-13 loss to Atlanta in the wild-card round.

EDGE Analysis

Despite battling various ailments all season and being limited to 14 regular-season games, Barron was able to rack up 86 tackles (73 solo), a sack and three interceptions. His overall value did take a hit because of the improvements the Los Angeles offense made, which kept the defense on the sidelines for longer stretches than in years past. Additionally, it's difficult to quantify just how much of an impact Barron's injuries had on his numbers. Still, he was a serviceable fantasy asset when on the field this year, and there's no reason to expect that to change in 2018.

Head coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Barron (Achilles) will start Saturday's wild-card game versus the Falcons, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron didn't make an appearance in Weeks 16 and 17 due to an Achilles injury, which is understandable for one of the mainstays of the Rams defense. With one full practice under his belt this week, the inside linebacker will look to repeat his standard from the first 13 games of the season, when he notched 86 tackles (73 solo), three interceptions, one sack and one fumble recovery.

Barron (Achilles) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron will miss his second consecutive contest due to an injured Achilles, while fellow inside linebacker Alec Ogletree (coach's decision) has also been ruled out as the Rams have elected to proceed cautiously with the health of many of their starters. Bryce Hager and Cory Littleton could be in line for increased roles at linebacker next to Robert Quinn and Connor Barwin.
