Restored to practice squad
Lawler was restored to the Rams' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Impact
Lawler has appeared in three games for the Rams this season, but none since Week 4. With the Rams' linebacker unit mostly healthy right now, it won't be easy for Lawler to make his way to the active roster, despite clearing COVID-19 protocols.

Moved to COVID list
Lawler was placed on the Rams practice squad COVID-19 list Friday.
Impact
Lawler hasn't been with the active roster since Week 4 against the Cardinals. His potential inability to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks, gives them one less depth option at linebacker if they were need to activate anyone from the practice squad.

Shifts back to practice squad
Lawler reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
Impact
Lawler was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, so it's automatic that he now reverts to the practice squad. He notched one assisted tackle while playing nine defensive snaps.

Elevated to active roster
The Rams elevated Lawler to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact
Lawler broke his hand during Week 2 and underwent surgery. His return to the active roster is a good sign, but he will likely be sporting a cast for at least a few weeks. The 26-year-old will likely assume his role as a depth inside linebacker who sees the field mostly during special teams.

Has surgery, removed from roster
Lawler (hand) has reverted to the Rams' practice squad and is set to have surgery, per the NFL's transaction report.
Impact
Lawler suffered a broken hand in Sunday's victory over the Colts. He managed to sustain the injury in just three defensive snaps. There is a chance he could still return to the roster in Week 3 depending on how he feels about playing with a cast.

Suffers broken hand
Lawler was diagnosed with a broken hand after Sunday's Week 2 win over the Colts, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Impact
Lawler was removed from Sunday's game in the first half, and a timetable for his return isn't yet clear. Chris Garrett (undisclosed) could see additional snaps as depth at linebacker once he's cleared to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Injures hand Sunday
Lawler (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Colts, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Lawler injured his hand in the first half of Week 2. The majority of the 26-year-old's snaps in Week 1 came on special teams, so his absence shouldn't affect the Rams' defensive lineups.

Joins Rams' practice squad
Lawler signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Impact
Lawler spent the 2020 campaign on injured reserve and was waived by Los Angeles on Tuesday. However, he'll return to the team a day later and will be available to step into a depth role if the Rams' linebackers deal with injuries this year.

Placed on injured reserve
Lawler (foot) reverted to injured reserve Sunday after going unclaimed on waivers, per the league's official transactions report.
Impact
Lawler appears to be dealing with the same foot issue that caused him to spend the entire 2019 campaign on IR. He hasn't seen game-action since his rookie season in 2018, when he mostly played on special teams across 16 contests.
