Posted on | by Field Level Media

Los Angeles Rams rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske will have surgery to repair a knee injury sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Thursday that Fiske was injured in the season-ending 28-22 divisional playoff loss at Philadelphia.

Fiske’s recovery from the procedure is not expected to affect his availability for next season, McVay said.

Fiske, who turned 25 last weekend, was named a finalist for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors on Thursday.

The 2024 second-round pick led the Rams and all NFL rookies with 8.5 sacks and finished with 44 tackles, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 games (eight starts). He added 1.5 sacks in two playoff games.

Florida State DT Braden Fiske swaps sides at Senior Bowl

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Florida State defensive tackle Braden Fiske became the first player in Senior Bowl history to switch teams on game day Saturday.

Because of roster attrition at his position on the National team, Fiske moved over from the American roster for the pre-draft showcase in Mobile, Ala.

Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy announced the first such “trade” in the 75-year history of the event on social media.

“Fiske … was already one of the week’s biggest risers,” Nagy posted on X. “This type of selfless, ‘I just wanna play’ attitude will help him immensely in the eyes of NFL decision-makers.”

The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Fiske has been projected as a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by Field Level Media.

He transferred to Florida State after four seasons at Western Michigan (2019-22) and delivered six sacks and nine tackles for loss in 13 games for the 2023 ACC champion Seminoles (13-1).
