Rams Safety Quentin Lake Undergoes Elbow Surgery, Targets Playoff Return

Los Angeles Rams safety Quentin Lake has undergone elbow surgery after sustaining an injury during the team's Week 11 victory against the Seattle Seahawks, a development confirmed by a source to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Rams are hopeful Lake can make a return to the field either before or during the playoffs. Before his injury, Lake had played every defensive snap this season and is in the final year of his rookie deal. Head coach Sean McVay indicated Lake would miss "some time" due to his elbow being "caught in a weird spot," while also commending cornerback Josh Wallace for stepping up. Lake, a second-year captain, has accumulated one interception, 10 passes defended, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a sack, and 61 total tackles this season. His surgery was first reported by NFL Network.
