The L.A. Rams will have an important hand back on deck against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Defensive end Braden Fiske, who only played 13 snaps in Week 2, will be active and return to the field despite being listed as questionable with an oblique injury. Fiske finished third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2024 after recording 8.5 sacks and ten tackles for a loss.
His presence against the respected Eagles offensive line will be a boon to L.A.’s talented defensive line.
Fiske is looking for his first sack of 2025 but he has only played 52 snaps so far this season. He was unable to record any stats in Week 2’s win over the Titans.
On the other side of the ball for the Rams, Steve Avila is doubtful and therefore unlikely to play. This would mean another start for backup Justin Dedich.
