Sack leader for Rams in 2025 Young finished the 2025 regular season with 82 tackles (45 solo), including 12.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across 17 games.

Impact Young was a dominant force on the Rams' defense to start the year, logging 9.0 sacks through the first seven games of the regular season. His sack production dipped noticeably following the Rams' Week 8 bye, which may have been due to a knee injury that he was playing through since November, including in each of Los Angeles' three NFC playoff games. Head coach Sean McVay relayed Monday that Young may not need surgery to clean out his knee, and the latter should be ready for the Rams' offseason program, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register.

Good to go vs. Seattle Young (knee) is active for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Young earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a limited practice Friday. He went through pregame warmups to test his knee, and the third-year pro has been given the green light to play against Seattle. Young has logged six tackles (two solo) across the Rams' two playoff games.

Likely playing in NFC Championship Young (knee) will practice in a limited fashion Friday and is questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Seahawks.

Impact The third-year pro from Tennessee opened the Rams' week of practice with consecutive DNPs but upgraded to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Despite his questionable designation, head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Young is "going to be ready to go," so he's expected to suit up for the NFC Championship game. If active Sunday, Young will operate as one of Los Angeles' top pass rushers, having recorded 12.0 sacks during the regular season.

Expected to play Sunday Young (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact The third-year linebacker has missed back-to-back practices while recovering from a knee injury, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that he expects Young to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, per Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. Young's participation in Friday's practice will play a factor in whether he is tagged with an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Young (knee) didn't participate in the Rams' practice Wednesday.

Impact Young is still working through the knee soreness that he sustained during last week's divisional-round win over the Bears.

Rams' clutch OT victory over Bears masked a poor performance at a bad time by the NFL's top offense

Sean McVay acknowledged he couldn’t find any flow as a play-caller for long stretches in Chicago

Managing sore knee Young experienced soreness in his knee Sunday night, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Young's defensive snap share was just 43 percent in Sunday's divisional-round win over Chicago, though it's not clear if the knee issue had anything to do with his reduced time on the field. He still made an impact with five tackles (one solo) and a QB hit. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that he doesn't expect the injury to impact Young's availability for Sunday's matchup versus Seattle in the NFC Championship Game, though it still bears watching the pass-rusher's practice participation throughout the week to get a read on how bothersome the issue is.

Records double-digit sacks Young recorded 82 tackles (45 solo), including 12.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in 17 games during 2025.

Impact The durable Young, who hasn't missed a game in his three seasons in the league, took another step towards becoming one of the league's elite linebackers in 2025, finishing in a tie for eighth with Josh Sweat and Will Anderson for most sacks. It looked like it would be much more than 12 sacks early in the season, as Young recorded at least half a sack in each of the Rams first seven games, before cooling off and recording just three sacks over the final ten contests. Young will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026, and will look to continue his upward progression before either signing an extension with the Rams or looking for a big payday in free agency.
