Jalen Ramsey
CB - LAR
This Week Outlook
Despite reports that Jalen Ramsey had been placed on the PUP list, the Rams decided to pivot and not place him on the list.
Fantasy Impact
Ramsey had shoulder surgery and still isn't able to do all that much, but Sean McVay said that doctors cleared Ramsey to do "above the neck" drills during training camp, which he would not have been able to do if he were on the PUP list. It's a good sign for Ramsey's recovery but, at this stage, placing a player on the PUP list doesn't mean they'd miss any part of the season anyway. With that said, any good news should be celebrated for a player returning from injury, so expect Ramsey to be ready for the season-opener on September 8th absent a setback.

Despite playing with tears in both shoulders, Ramsey tied a career high in interceptions with four and set career highs with 77 total tackles and nine tackles for loss with the Los Angeles Rams. He was also named to his third Associated Press All-Pro team. The Rams defense finished second in the league with 17 touchdowns allowed and third with 19 interceptions. At full health, Ramsey will continue to bolster a strong Rams defense.
