LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Rams<\/a> safety Quentin Lake<\/a> had surgery on his elbow after leaving the team’s Week 11 victory over the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> with the injury, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n

The Rams hope Lake can return from injury before or during the playoffs, the source told Schefter.<\/p>\n

Before his injury on Sunday, Lake had played every defensive snap for the Rams this season. The versatile safety is currently on the last season of his rookie deal.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Rams head coach Sean McVay said he expected Lake to miss “some time” after “it looked like his elbow was caught in a weird spot.”<\/p>\n

McVay said the Rams were discussing who would replace Lake, but said he thought cornerback Josh Wallace<\/a> “deserves a ton of credit for stepping up and doing an excellent job.”<\/p>\n

Lake’s surgery was first reported Wednesday by NFL Network.<\/p>\n

This season, Lake has one interception, 10 passes defended, a forced fumble, fumble recovery, a sack and 61 total tackles. Lake is also in his second year as a Rams captain, something McVay said you can’t replace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah BarshopNov 19, 2025, 02:25 PM ET CloseSarah Barshop covers the Los Angeles Rams for ESPN.
