McCreary has been on injured reserve since injuring his hip in Week 12

The Los Angeles Rams could get some additional depth at cornerback in the near future. On Wednesday, the Rams designated Roger McCreary to return from injured reserve.

It was announced that McCreary returned to practice, so he’s working his way back from a hip injury that has caused him to miss the last four games.

McCreary injured his hip on his first defensive snap as a member of the Rams in Week 12 against the Buccaneers, exiting on the opening drive. Sean McVay said afterwards that McCreary probably could’ve gone back in the game but the Rams played it safe and held him out.

Really safe, it seems.

He’s been on IR since going down in Week 12 but now that he’s missed the minimum of four games, he’s eligible to return. The Rams must now decide whether to activate him in the next 21 days. If they choose not to, he’ll remain on IR for the rest of the year.

The Rams acquired McCreary in a trade with the Titans just before the deadline, swapping Day 3 picks in the 2026 draft.
