Jordan Fuller suffered an ankle injury in the Rams’ win over the 49ers on Sunday, causing him to exit the game after just 12 snaps. Sean McVay shared an update on the starting safety’s status Monday and while it’s not a season-ending injury, it is one that could keep him out for Sunday’s contest against the Lions.
McVay said both Fuller and Troy Reeder (knee) are considered day-to-day and uncertain to play in the first round of the playoffs. Reeder is a backup linebacker and typically sits third on the depth chart, but Fuller is a team captain and plays every snap when healthy.
If Fuller can’t play on Sunday, Russ Yeast would step in alongside John Johnson III.
Sean McVay indicates DB Jordan Fuller (ankle) and LB Troy Reeder (knee) will be day-to-day. Still unsure if they'll play Sunday vs. Lions, but going to use all the time available this week to determine their game statuses.

As big a loss as Fuller would be, Yeast played well against the 49ers on Sunday. He had a team-high seven tackles and broke up two passes deep down the field to prevent big plays by the 49ers.
