Gets okay to practice again
Published: 2024-01-03
The Rams designated Shelley (hamstring) for return from their injured reserve list Wednesday.
The transaction starts the clock on a 21-day period during which the Rams can officially activate Shelley before they'd have to shut him down for the rest of the season. Their official injury reports during the week will indicate whether he might be available for Week 18.
Moves to IR
Published: 2023-11-27
The Rams placed Shelley (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday.
Shelley hurt his hamstring during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cardinals and will now miss at least Los Angeles' next four games. The veteran cornerback logged 47 defensive snaps Week 9 against Green Bay but has otherwise worked primarily on special teams throughout the campaign. On the season, Shelley has accumulated eight tackles (seven solo), two pass deflections and a recovered fumble over 11 games.
Leaves game with injury
Published: 2023-11-26
Shelley is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals after sustaining a hamstring injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Shelley has mostly contributed on special teams this season while also playing a backup corner role behind starters Ahkello Witherspoon and Cobie Durant. Shelley did not record a stat before exiting Sunday's contest, and while he's on the sidelines, Tre Tomlinson is a candidate to see increased work on special teams and in the secondary.
Headed to Los Angeles
Published: 2023-09-01
Shelley signed with the Rams on Friday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Shelley will join the Rams after spending the offseason with the Raiders. The 26-year-old appeared in 11 games for the Vikings last season and logged 31 tackles (23 solo) and an interceptions and could now provide solid depth to a secondary that lacks proven talent.
Signs with Raiders
Published: 2023-03-23
The Raiders agreed to terms with Shelley on Thursday.
The 2019 sixth-rounder is coming off a 2022 campaign with the Vikings in which he recorded 31 tackles and an interception in 11 games. With Las Vegas, Shelley has a chance to earn steady snaps in a cornerback corps that also includes David Long, Nate Hobbs, Brandon Facyson, Amik Robertson and Sam Webb.
Starting role down the stretch
Published: 2023-01-26
Shelley posted 31 tackles (23 solo) and an interception over 11 games during the 2022 regular season.
Shelley opened his first campaign with Minnesota in a limited role on special teams, and he did not even appear in six of the first eight games. However, he stepped up into a starting role with cornerback Cameron Dantzler (ankle) sitting out all but two of the team's final nine regular-season games. In the process, Shelley logged a career-high eight passes defended over that span, including the first pick of his career in Week 18 against Chicago. He also posted six more tackles and another pass defended while playing every defensive snap in the Vikings' wild-card loss to the Giants. Shelley is now set to become an unrestricted free agent for the second year in a row.
