Los Angeles Rams lose linebacker Nate Landman to concussion protocol ahead of Week 7
Head coach Sean McVay confirmed Oct 21 that starting linebacker Nate Landman entered the concussion protocol and missed Wednesday's practice, leaving his status for Sunday's game at the Las Vegas Raiders in doubt; cornerback Trent McDuffie (groin) also sat out.
Why it matters
The Los Angeles Rams head into Week 7 preparations — Sunday at the Las Vegas Raiders — with another key defender sidelined. Head coach Sean McVay said Oct 21 that two-time team captain and starting linebacker Nate Landman, 27, has entered the concussion protocol and did not practice Wednesday, leaving it uncertain whether he can clear the five-step protocol before game day.
Injury roundup
Cornerback Trent McDuffie (groin) also missed Wednesday's practice and is day-to-day; cornerback Josh Wallace and tight end Colby Parkinson were full participants. The Rams earlier this week placed wide receiver Davante Adams and nose tackle Poona Ford on injured reserve, and defensive lineman Kobie Turner is out for several more weeks; the team has dropped its last two games (34-37 to Buffalo in Week 5, 16-18 to Arizona in Week 6).
Why Landman matters
Landman joined the Rams as a 2025 free-agent signing from the Atlanta Falcons, broke out last season and is on pace for a career-high in tackles; he is signed through 2028 on a three-year, $22.5 million deal. If he can't go Sunday, the Rams' linebacker rotation faces a real test.
