Ready for Week 4 Kinchens (hamstring) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Kinchens has not suited up since sustaining a hamstring injury during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. The 24-year-old upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being limited in the team's Wednesday and Thursday sessions. The free safety is all set to suit up for Sunday's game next to strong safety Kam Curl.

Still dealing with hamstring injury Kinchens (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Kinchens has been sidelined for the Rams' last two contests due to a hamstring injury he suffered back in Week 1 versus the 49ers, and his status for Week 4 is now also in doubt. He'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for Week 3 Kinchens (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinchens will be forced to miss a second straight game after suffering a hamstring injury Week 1 versus San Francisco. In his absence, Josh Wallace will stand to see a larger workload at safety during Sunday Night Football.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Sunday Kinchens (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinchens was limited during Friday's practice, working off to the side. He now appears to be heading toward a second consecutive absence, meaning Josh Wallace could continue to benefit by receiving more playing time.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Kinchens (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's estimated practice session, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kinchens has not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The starting free safety does not appear to have progressed significantly in his recovery since last week's string of DNPs. Unless Kinchen can upgrade his practice participation to at least limited by Friday, he will likely be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Kinchens (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Kinchens did not participate throughout Week 2 as the free safety continues to deal with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The 23-year-old does not appear to have progressed in his recovery significantly and may need to miss future weeks as he deals with the injury. While Kinchens is out, Jaylen McCollough or Quentin Lake will likely take over at free safety for the Rams.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Still tending to hamstring injury Kinchens (hamstring) did not participate at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinchens sustained a hamstring injury during the Rams' loss against the 49ers in Week 1, and he's still working through that as the club starts to prepare for Week 2. He'll likely have to return to practice Friday or Saturday to give himself a shot to suit up Monday versus the Giants.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Battling hamstring injury Kinchens is dealing with a hamstring injury, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact Kinchens had nine tackles in the 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1. However, he suffered a hamstring injury during that contest, though head coach Sean McVay didn't provide a definitive update concerning his condition. Kinchens should at least be considered questionable for now, but if he can't suit up Monday night versus the Giants, Jaylen McCollough and Josh Wallace could see more snaps.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Logs nine tackles in Week 1 loss Kinchens tallied nine tackles (three solo) during the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

Impact Kinchens logged more than nine tackles only once across 17 regular-season games last year, and the third-year pro finished as the Rams' second-leading tackler in Week 1 behind Quentin Lake (10). Kinchens could be more heavily relied on in the secondary if fellow safety Kamren Curl (ankle) were to miss time. Up next is a Week 2 home clash against the Giants on Monday, Sept. 21.

Trent McDuffie and the Los Angeles Rams are closing in on a contract extension that will make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history

MARCH 9 • Associated Press

Nearly doubles playing time Kinchens recorded 84 tackles (56 solo), six passes defended and two interceptions in 17 games during 2025.

Impact The second-year safety saw a noticeable uptick in playing time compared to his rookie year, taking the field in all 17 games and playing at least half of the snaps on defense in every game except Week 7 against Jacksonville. The highlight of Kinchens' sophomore season was Week 11 against Seattle, where he picked off Sam Darnold twice, and he'll look to continue improving alongside a young but formidable defensive core for the Rams in year three.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Sunday Kinchens (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinchens upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for the earlier portion of the week. The free safety avoids injury designation and will continue his streak of participating in every Rams game this year.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged as limited Kinchens (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kinchens missed the first two practices last week but still managed to play in the Week 13 loss to the Panthers, so he appears to be on the right track to play this week versus the Cardinals. The second-year safety has yet to miss a game during his career. He has produced 61 tackles (43 solo), six pass breakups, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries through 12 games this year.

Good to go against Carolina Kinchens (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Kinchens opened Week 13 prep with back-to-back DNPs before ending with a limited practice Friday while working through a shoulder injury. However, the second-year safety has done enough over the weekend and through pregame warmups to be given the green light to suit up Sunday. In the four games since the Rams' Week 8 bye, Kinchens has accumulated 19 tackles (14 solo), three pass defenses (two interceptions) and two fumble recoveries.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 13 Kinchens (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Kinchens was able to upgrade to a limited participant Friday after being unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday. The upgrade in participation bodes well for Kinchens' chances to suit up for Sunday's contest. If the starter is unable to go, Jaylen McCollough is in line to replace him at free safety.

NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DNP again Kinchens (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It is unclear where Kinchens acquired his shoulder injury, as he finished last week's game seemingly clean. With two missed practices this week, the starting safety will have one more chance to participate. Failure to do so would likely end his playing chances for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
