Reaches double-digit tackles
Lake recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Lake has reached double-digit combined tackles in back-to-back weeks to kick off the 2024 campaign, with his total on Sunday being a single-game career high. His now 21 total tackles puts him in the top-10 in the league, and the second most of all safeties, trailing only Nick Cross. Lake will try to keep his momentum going in Week 3 against the 49ers.
Suiting up Sunday
Lake (hip) is active Sunday against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Lake was expected to play despite the questionable tag, according to head coach Sean McVay. The third-year pro's ability to suit up should be good news for the Rams secondary, which will be healthy for Week 2 with Cobie Durant (toe) also active.
Questionable for Sunday
Lake (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters before Friday's practice that Lake is expected to play in Sunday's contest despite being officially listed as questionable on the Rams' injury reports, per Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. However, there's still a chance Lake is unable to play in Week 2 due to his hip injury, and if that's the case, Russ Yeast will likely assume the Rams' slot corner duties.
Added to injury report
Lake (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Lake was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session, but he appears to be working through a hip issue. Friday's injury report should indicate Lake's status for Week 2 against the Cardinals. The 2022 sixth-round pick led the Rams with 10 tackles in their Week 1 loss against the Lions.
Leads team in tackles
Lake recorded ten tackles (five solo) and one quarterback hit during Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss against the Lions.
The third-year pro had a career-high 10 tackles, leading the secondary who kept Jared Goff in check for much of the evening. Lake stayed on the field for every snap on defense and this encouraging usage, along with a defense already suffering from the injury bug, will likely keep Lake busy in a Week 2 showdown on the road against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.
Favorite to earn starting role
Lake is expected to start at free safety this season, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Lake finished 2023 as the team's starter, but that wasn't necessarily guaranteed to carry over in 2024. With competition from rookie Kamren Kinchens and the returning John Johnson, he was expected to have to earn the role. However, although the role appears to be his to lose, he's been seeing work at cornerback as well, so his position on the Rams' defense may not be set in stone.
Develops into starting role
Lake logged 53 tackles (42 solo), six passes defended and recovered a fumble during the 2023 regular season over 14 games played.
Through the first half of the 2023 season, Lake looked like he was going to continue his role from his rookie year as a special teams regular with scant usage on defense, but he replaced Russ Yeast as a starter after the bye week and performed well despite suffering a hamstring injury that cost him three games. With Jordan Fuller an unrestricted free agent, Lake will likely retain his starting role in 2024 barring a splash in the draft or free agency.
Solid outing in loss
Lake recorded five total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Giants.
The second-year pro made just the fourth start of his career Sunday, taking Los Angeles' starting free safety duties from John Johnson since returning from injury in Week 15. Lake has now made five-or-more tackles in each of his last five outings as well, bringing his season total up to 50 tackles. Expect Lake to continue starting in the Rams' secondary in their Week 18 game against the 49ers.
