Leonard Floyd Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Leonard Floyd (ankle) said that he had offseason surgery to clean up a right ankle injury that he suffered in training camp last summer. Floyd managed the ankle injury all of last year while recording 11.5 sacks (9.5 in the regular season). He's almost back to full health. The 29-year-old pass-rusher also had a career-high 70 tackles (37 solo), seven tackles for loss, 18 QB hits, one interception, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 17 regular season starts for the Rams in 2021. Floyd hasn't missed a regular season game in the last four years, making him a dependable defender for a strong Rams defense.

The Los Angeles Rams are signing former Chicago Bears pass-rusher Leonard Floyd to a one-year, $10 million deal on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal could be worth up to $13 million with incentives. Floyd was a bust for Chicago after they took him ninth overall in the 2016 draft. The 27-year-old had 153 combined tackles (108 solo), 18.5 sacks and 44 QB hits in his four seasons with the Bears. He had a career-low three sacks, 40 tackles (27 solo), three tackles for loss, 12 QB hits and one pass defensed in a full season last year. The Rams are hoping a change of scenery will help the former first-round pick become more productive.

Chicago Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd (knee) saw work in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities this week, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Floyd remains on target to be a full participant for training camp in July. I think it delayed his development more last year when it happened, Fangio said of the freak knee injury that occurred on a collision with cornerback Kyle Fuller. Theres no way around that. Everyone needs as many reps in practice as they can get, and hes really anxious to do it. He has been begging the trainers and medical people to let him out there a little earlier. I think hell overcome it. Floyd has played in just 22 games in his first two seasons in the NFL and has recorded 11.5 sacks and 67 tackles in that time. A healthy return of Floyd is much needed in order for Chicago to put up a consistent pass rush in 2018.
