Los Angeles Rams Minicamp Injury Update: Latest on Kobie Turner, Byron Young and Key Recovery Storylines

UPDATE: The Rams will not hold their scheduled mandatory minicamp next week after head coach Sean McVay informed players on Thursday that the two-day session had been canceled. Los Angeles had originally planned to conduct practices on Monday and Tuesday, but McVay opted to end the on-field portion of the offseason program early. Monday will still serve as the final day of team activities before the summer break.

The Los Angeles Rams enter mandatory minicamp with relatively few major injury concerns among their projected starters, though several players remain on managed workloads as training camp approaches. Defensive linemen Kobie Turner and Byron Young have both been limited during OTAs while recovering from lingering injuries, while the Rams recently lost rookies Chad Lindberg and Eddie Walls III to season-ending injuries suffered during offseason practices. The health of Turner and Young will be among the key storylines to monitor throughout the remainder of the offseason program.

Kobie Turner - Load Management

Turner has been limited during Rams OTAs as he works through a lingering issue from the 2025 season. The defensive lineman has spent portions of the offseason program rehabbing on the side rather than participating in full team drills, with the Rams taking a cautious approach to his workload. Turner is expected to attend mandatory minicamp but could remain limited initially as he ramps up toward full participation. The expectation is that he will be ready to go by the start of training camp.

Byron Young - Knee

Young has been limited during Rams OTAs as he continues working through a knee issue. The edge rusher has spent much of the offseason program rehabbing with trainers and has not been a full participant in team drills, often seen wearing a brace while progressing through his recovery. Young is expected to attend mandatory minicamp, though his workload will likely remain limited initially. The Rams are taking a cautious approach, but the expectation is that he will be ready for training camp.

Chad Lindberg - Undisclosed

Lindberg suffered an undisclosed injury during Rams OTAs and was placed on season-ending injured reserve on June 4. The rookie offensive lineman will miss mandatory minicamp and is expected to be sidelined for the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Eddie Walls III - Leg

Walls suffered an undisclosed leg injury during Rams OTA practices and was carted off the field before being placed on season-ending injured reserve on June 4. The rookie outside linebacker will miss mandatory minicamp and is expected to be sidelined for the entire 2026 season.
