It was a tough loss for the Rams, who nearly beat the eventual champions to advance to the NFC title game.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear exactly what the injury was but it was severe enough to <a href=\"https:\/\/theramswire.usatoday.com\/2025\/01\/23\/rams-braden-fiske-knee-injury-surgery-playoffs-eagles\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">require a minor procedure<\/a> this offseason. There were no concerns about his availability for the 2025 season and based on a video shared by the Rams, he appears to be right on track.<\/p>\n<p>Fiske shared an update in this behind-the-scenes video, saying he\u2019s in a \u201creally good spot\u201d mentally. He sure looks every bit as explosive as he was pre-injury, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMentally, I\u2019m in a really good spot,\u201d Fiske said. \u201cI think early on in the offseason, it\u2019s easy to dread on everything that\u2019s going on. It\u2019s easier to make excuses instead of solutions. It\u2019s hard to feel like a football player when all you do is small movements. You\u2019re just in there constantly doing the same thing but your body\u2019s your temple in this game and I&#8217;m constantly just trying to improve my craft and get my body feeling good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fiske is an integral part of the Rams\u2019 defense, providing an immediate impact as a rookie last season. He led the team with 8.5 sacks and also had 10 quarterback hits to go along with 44 total tackles, playing all 17 games and making eight starts.<\/p>\n<p>He should continue to get better as he becomes even more comfortable in the NFL, so the sky\u2019s the limit for him entering Year 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Rams had to face the Philadelphia Eagles without Braden Fiske for most of the game&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30628,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2079],"tags":[247,265,240,5996,5999,324,25,5997,7,239,1014,58,2444,2611,248,826,88,6,245,537,242,109,530,424,9,266],"class_list":{"0":"post-30627","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-american","9":"tag-american-football","10":"tag-angeles","11":"tag-braden","12":"tag-braden-fiske","13":"tag-conference","14":"tag-eagles","15":"tag-fiske","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-los","18":"tag-los-angeles","19":"tag-los-angeles-rams","20":"tag-losangeles","21":"tag-losangelesrams","22":"tag-national","23":"tag-national-football-conference","24":"tag-news","25":"tag-nfl","26":"tag-overall","27":"tag-overall-positive","28":"tag-philadelphia","29":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","30":"tag-positive","31":"tag-rams","32":"tag-sports","33":"tag-sports-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114465763753480914","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
