Ferguson (ankle) is expected to be ready to return after his four-game stint on injured reserve, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Ferguson was placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 4 and will be eligible to return in Week 8 against the Chargers. In the meantime, the Rams will continue to lean on Tyler Higbee as the main pass-catching tight end, with Colby Parkinson (shoulder) and Davis Allen chipping in as block-first assets.
The Rams placed Ferguson (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
Ferguson underwent X-rays on an ankle injury during this past Sunday's loss at Denver, and while he was able to return to the contest, he then didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday before being ruled out for Week 4 action. With Ferguson out for at least the next four games and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's road matchup with the Eagles, Davis Allen, Tyler Higbee and rookie second-round pick Max Klare are the current healthy TEs on L.A.'s active roster.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.

Ferguson was placed on injured reserve Friday due to the ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 3 loss to the Broncos, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Ferguson played on a season-low 22 snaps in Sunday night's loss to Denver, with the injury costing him significant time during the contest and seemingly limiting his effectiveness overall. Ferguson had gone into the game riding the momentum off a productive Week 2 showing against the Giants when he'd brought in six of nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. His absence for at least the next four games will open up more snaps in a crowded tight-end room for Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, although Parkinson is listed as questionable for the Week 4 matchup against the Eagles due to knee and shoulder issues.

Ferguson, who drew nine targets in Monday night's win over the Giants, could be in line for an elevated role again in Sunday night's game against the Broncos due to Puka Nacua being likely to sit out a second consecutive contest, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Ferguson turned his nine opportunities into six catches for 54 yards and a touchdown, the first stats of his 2026 season, in a Week 2 victory. The second-year tight end, who also parlayed three of his 11 rookie-season catches into scores, saw his routes run increase from Week 1's 13 to 22 against New York with Nacua absent due to his listed hip injury. The fact the Broncos typically make wide-receiver production difficult due to the presence of Patrick Surtain also ups the chances of another busy night for Ferguson, who saw a target on 41.0 percent of his routes versus the Giants.

Several members of the Rams' coaching staff or front office believe Ferguson will take a step forward in his second year as a pro, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.
Ferguson recorded only 11 receptions as a rookie in the Rams' crowded tight end room. The team still boasts impressive depth at the position with Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and 2026 second-round pick Max Klare all on the roster, but Ferguson could still be poised to take on a larger role after a big finish to the 2025 regular season. He found the end zone and made multiple catches in both Weeks 16 and 17.
