News

  • Goes on injured reserve

    Kiser (leg) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Kiser (leg) was carted off the field during practice Sunday. The 27-year-old spent time with the Rams and Broncos last season, appearing in 11 games and making 19 tackles. He was expected to earn a depth role at linebacker.

  • Taken off practice field

    Kiser was carted off the practice field Sunday due to an apparent lower body injury, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Kiser's injury remains undisclosed for now, but the Raiders could make more details available in the following days. The middle linebacker appears primed for a depth role in Las Vegas this season, if healthy.

  • Headed to Vegas

    Kiser signed a contract with the Raiders on Monday.

    Analysis: Kiser spent the majority of the 2021 season in Denver, finishing with 19 tackles (nine solo) in 10 games. He also appeared in one game with the Rams, recording 17 snaps on special teams. Barring any big signings at linebacker, Kiser appears to be in line for an increased role with the Raiders defense.

  • Records 12 tackles

    Kiser recorded 12 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Kiser played his first defensive snaps for the Broncos since suffering a groin injury in Week 7, and he made the most of his opportunities. The veteran's 12 total tackles were tied for a team-high with fellow linebacker Jonas Griffith. Kiser will look to end the season in similar fashion when the Broncos take on the Chiefs in Week 18.

  • Returns to active roster

    Kiser (groin) was activated from IR on Saturday.

    Analysis: Kiser picked up the injury in Week 7 against Cleveland. Primarily a special teams player before the injury, Kiser may be looking at a larger role in his return Sunday against the Lions with the injuries that have stacked up in the Broncos' linebacker unit. Most notable is Malik Reed, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

  • Designated to return

    Kiser (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kiser has been on injured reserve for just over a month, but he'll now be able to return to practice. The 26-year-old will need to be activated within 21 days if he hopes to return to game action this season.

  • Placed on IR

    Kiser (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Kiser was expected to miss multiple weeks after injuring his groin during the Broncos' Week 7 loss to the Browns, so it's not a surprise to see him moved to injured reserve. Curtis Robinson and Barrington Wade should see an uptick in playing time during Kiser's absence.

  • Slated to miss multiple weeks

    Kiser (groin) is expected to miss "a couple weeks," Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kiser sustained a groin injury in Thursday's loss to the Browns, and it's not yet clear whether he'll require a stint on injured reserve. Curtis Robinson and Barrington Wade should see an uptick in playing time in Kiser's absence.

  • Ruled out from return

    Kiser has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Browns after suffering a groin injury.

    Analysis: Kiser suffered the injury in the first quarter and quickly went to the locker room. Prior to exiting, he recorded two tackles. Kiser was line for an increased role with a number of other Broncos linebackers sidelined, and his absence will only further thin the defense.

  • Suffers groin injury

    Kiser exited Thursday's game against the Browns with a groin injury and is questionable to return, Patrick Smyth, Chief Communications Officer of the Broncos, reports.

    Analysis: Kiser left in the first quarter and was evaluated in the medical tent prior to going to the locker room. He has served primarily as a special-teams player to this point in the season, so his absence isn't likely to significantly effect the Denver defense.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Broncos signed Kiser off the Rams' practice squad Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Kiser started nine games for the Rams last season before suffering a knee injury that forced him to miss the remainder of the year. He totaled 77 tackles and three pass deflections during the 2020 campaign, but he failed to make Los Angeles' initial 53-man roster this year and was signed to the Rams' practice squad. The 26-year-old will likely get an opportunity to contribute to Denver's defense immediately with Josey Jewell (pectoral) out for the season.

  • Solid numbers before injury

    Kiser racked up 77 tackles (44 solo), three pass breakups and a forced fumble over nine regular-season games in 2020.

    Analysis: Kiser emerged as a starting linebacker and a solid IDP fantasy asset before suffering a knee injury Week 11. He missed the remainder of the regular season, but he was back for Los Angeles' two playoffs games, so he should enter 2021 at full strength. Kiser, who managed 12-plus tackles in three of his appearances in 2020, looks primed to fill a starting role next season.

  • Active for wild-card matchup

    Kiser is listed as part of the active roster for Saturday's game, Eric D. Williams of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Kiser has missed the past six games due to a knee injury he was battling, but as of Saturday, the 25-year-old can rejoin his teammates as they take on the Seahawks. Prior to his injury, the linebacker managed to record 77 tackles (44 solo) and one forced fumble throughout the nine games he started.

  • Questionable for wild-card round

    Kiser (knee) is considered questionable heading into Saturday's wild-card matchup at Seattle, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kiser has been unavailable since Week 11. However, there remains a chance for him to make a return in the opening round of the playoffs despite his practice involvement remaining limited Tuesday through Thursday. The 25-year-old linebacker was removed from injured reserve Dec. 30, but he wasn't able to return for Los Angeles' regular-season finale against Arizona. His presence in the lineup would be a boost against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Kiser has started in all nine of his…read more

  • Puts in limited practice

    Kiser (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kiser was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, and he participated in the same capacity when the Rams actually took the field Wednesday. This marks Kiser's first practice since being placed on injured reserve Nov. 26. If he's able to shake the injury by Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks, the third-year linebacker should resume his starting inside linebacker role.

  • Out for season finale

    Kiser (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kiser was activated from injured reserve Wednesday to ensure he'd be eligible to play in the postseason. However, after three straight absences from practice, Kiser will sit out Week 17. Kenny Young is slated to start at inside linebacker again.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Kiser (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Kiser needed to be activated from IR to be eligible for a potential postseason appearance. According to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, he's not expected to play in the Week 17 matchup against Arizona, a notion that's backed up by his absence from practice to start the week. Kenny Young should continue to start at inside linebacker until Kiser is ready to play.

  • Returns from IR

    Kiser (knee) was activated off IR on Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kiser will be a welcome addition to the Rams' defense ahead of Sunday's pivotal season finale against the Cardinals, the winner of which will be guaranteed a spot in the postseason. The linebacker has been a tackling machine when healthy, totaling at least six tackles in all but one of his nine games played this season while reaching double digits three times.

  • Headed to IR

    Kiser (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Thursday.

    Analysis: Kiser was injured during the Rams Week 11 contest against the Buccaneers and was always expected to miss their Week 12 showdown with the 49ers. However, the move to injured reserve will rule Kiser out until at least Week 15 against the Jets. Troy Reeder should see an increased role as a result of Kiser's absence.

  • May miss Week 12

    Coach Sean McVay said he'd be "very surprised" if Kiser (knee) plays Sunday against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old sustained the left knee injury during Monday's win over Tampa Bay and was unable to practice Wednesday. Based on McVay's comments, Kiser seems likely to be unavailable this weekend barring a significant improvement over the new few days. Justin Hollins or Troy Reeder are set to fill in at inside linebacker if Kiser is sidelined.

  • Suffers injury Monday

    Kiser exited late in the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Buccaneers and didn't return, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Kiser took a head-to-head hit from Bucs running back Leonard Fournette and then had his left leg rolled up on. It's unclear which part of the sequence kept him out of the game, but that information should be revealed when the Rams begin their practice week Wednesday.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Kiser had 12 tackles (10 solo) during Sunday's 23-16 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Kiser played all but two defensive snaps as he reached double-digit tackles for the third time in 2020. The 25-year-old leads the defense with 71 tackles (42 solo) and also has three passes defensed and one forced fumble in eight games.

  • Totals eight tackles

    Kiser had eight tackles (three solo) during Monday's 24-10 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old led Los Angeles in tackles Monday, as eight different players recorded at least five tackles. Kiser has 53 tackles (31 solo), three passes defensed and one forced fumble through six games in 2020.

  • Racks up 13 tackles

    Kiser finished with 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Kiser finished tied for the team lead in tackles with John Johnson. He's now registered double digits in tackles in two of five contests so far this season.

  • Ready for Sunday night

    Kiser (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kiser was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, but the Rams never appeared to seriously doubt that he'd manage to suit up. The third-year pro stands to draw his usual start at linebacker versus San Francisco.

  • On track to play Sunday

    Coach Sean McVay said Kiser (groin) is officially questionable but is expected to play Sunday versus the 49ers, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Barring a setback, Kiser should start at inside linebacker after a one-game absence. He's been an intriguing IDP option when he's played, as the third-year pro piled up 32 tackles and three pass breakups through the first three games. Kiser's official status will be revealed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Still managing injury

    Kiser (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Kiser was forced to miss last week's game against Washington with the groin issue, however, he appears to be gearing up for a return. The Virginia product had assumed a starting role this season before getting hurt, racking up 32 tackles (21 solo), three pass breakups and a forced fumble. If Kiser is forced to miss more time, Justin Hollins and Troy Reeder would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

  • Not able to go against Washington

    Kiser (groin) has been ruled out for the Rams' Week 5 matchup against Washington, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kiser had been in the starting lineup Weeks 1 through 4 after failing to register a single start over his first two years in the league (though he did miss all of 2019 with a torn pectoral injury). The 25-year-old linebacker had already racked up an impressive 32 tackles through the first quarter of Los Angeles' regular-season slate, but now Justin Hollins will see increased usage at middle linebacker against Washington's 30th-ranked rush offense.

  • Status unclear for Sunday

    Kiser (groin) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus Washington, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kiser logged his first practice Friday and operated in a limited capacity, so he has a chance to play Sunday. He's likely on the wrong side of questionable, however, and if he sits out, expect Justin Hollins and Troy Reeder to rotate in alongside starter Kenny Young.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Kiser (groin) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Kiser was declared day-to-day after leaving a Week 4 win over the Giants with pec and groin injuries. He was only listed with the groin injury Wednesday, but he's trending in the wrong direction by sitting out practice altogether. Fellow starting inside linebacker Kenny Young (knee) also missed practice, so Justin Hollins and Troy Reeder are slated to take first-team reps until the two return.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Kiser is considered day-to-day while battling both pec and groin injuries, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kiser left the team's Week 4 contest against the Giants early. He had played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps this season prior to the his exit, so if he is forced to miss the Rams' upcoming contest at Washington, there will be a big void in the middle of the defense.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Exits with injury

    Kiser is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a groin injury.

    Analysis: Kiser normally handles an every-down role on defense, so if he's forced to miss time, it will be a significant blow to Los Angeles' already-thin linebacker corps. Justin Hollins stands to handle an increased role in the meantime.

  • Ties Rams record with 16 tackles

    Kiser tied the Rams single-game record of 16 tackles (11 solo) during Sunday's 37-19 win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Make it 23 tackles (17 solo) through two games for Kiser, as the every-down linebacker is quickly proving to be a valuable fantasy asset. Check your waiver wires in IDP settings, because Kiser projects to be a weekly starting option in the majority of formats until proven otherwise.

  • Plays all 72 defensive snaps

    Kiser played every defensive snap and recorded seven tackles (six solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.

    Analysis: If Week 1 is any indication of the Rams' linebacker plans, Kiser is set for a significant role and a potentially monster fantasy season. Los Angeles let linebacker Cory Littleton walk during free agency after racking up 259 tackles over the past two years. With Littleton playing for Vegas, it's not out of the question to expect Kiser to approach those high tackle totals as an every-down linebacker for the Rams.

  • Leading candidate to start

    Kiser (pectoral) is an early favorite to earn the available starting inside linebacker job in training camp, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kiser was listed as a starter on Los Angeles' first official depth chart of 2019, but a torn pectoral suffered during the preseason caused him to spend the entire year on injured reserve. With Cory Littleton having moved on for Las Vegas, the Rams appear to now be counting on a fully healthy Kiser to step up as starter after having been relegated to special teams as a rookie. It could be an open competition in training camp, but as the early leader for a possible three-down role, Kiser warrants…read more

  • Could earn starting job

    The Rams are counting on Kiser (pectoral) to help fill the void left by Cory Littleton's departure to Las Vegas, Gary Klein of the LA Times reports.

    Analysis: A 2018 fifth-round pick, Kiser strictly played special teams as a rookie but reportedly was on track for a starting job in 2019 before he suffered a torn pectoral in mid-August. He spent the entire season on injured reserve, while undrafted rookie Troy Reeder got most of the playing time at inside linebacker alongside Littleton. The Rams now enter mid-April without a reliable starter at the position, but they're reportedly optimistic Kiser can fill one of the spots. A three-down role likely…read more
