The Los Angeles Rams are still awaiting the returns of Micah Kiser and Taylor Rapp, who are both on injured reserve with knee issues, but it doesn’t sound like either player will be back this week against the Jets.
Sean McVay spoke to the media on Monday to open Week 15 and he indicated that their statuses aren’t going to change. Both are expected to remain on IR for another week. Kiser and Rapp have each missed the minimum three games since landing on IR, so they could be activated as soon as they’re healthy.
McVay also shared an update on Terrell Lewis, who has missed the last two weeks with a knee injury. He’s unsure whether the rookie will be available against New York despite Lewis going into Week 14 against the Patriots without an injury designation.
Rams HC Sean McVay said "we'll see for this week" regarding status of OLB Terrell Lewis (knee).
No changes for LB Micah Kiser or S Taylor Rapp's IR status this week.

In Kiser’s place, Troy Reeder has played well, as has Kenny Young in the last two games. At safety, Jordan Fuller and John Johnson never come off the field and won’t even when Rapp returns, but Rapp would likely supplant Nick Scott as the top backup.
