Limited in practice
Curl (knee) was a limited participant in the Rams's practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Curl is still dealing with a knee injury he suffered during the first quarter of last week's win over the Vikings. However, the 25-year-old managed to return later in the game, and he will look to get healthy in time for Sunday's matchup versus the Seahawks.

Back in Thursday's game
Curl (knee) has returned to Thursday night's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: The safety got hurt on the opening drive after making two tackles (one solo). Curl did not miss a defensive snap across the Rams' first six games, and while he won't match that reliability Thursday, his quick return may allow him to come close. The fifth-year pro has 41 tackles (28 solo), two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.

Questionable to return
Curl (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Vikings, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The safety got hurt on the opening drive after making two tackles (one solo). Curl played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the Rams' first six games, recording 39 tackles (27 solo), two passes defensed, a forced fumble and a scoop-and-score touchdown on a fumble recovery. Kamren Kinchens and Jaylen McCollough are Los Angeles' backup safeties.

Scores fumble-recovery TD
Curl recorded seven solo tackles, two passes defended, and one fumble recovery that was returned 33 yards for a touchdown during Sunday's 20-15 victory against the Raiders.
Analysis: Curl played 100% of snaps for the sixth consecutive game and turned in an outstanding performance with a season high in solo tackles and passes defended. He also scooped up a Gardner Minshew fumble after a Cobie Durant sack and returned it for a Rams' touchdown in the second quarter. The Rams will need Curl to be at his best on a short week, as the potent Vikings passing game comes to town in Week 8 for a Thursday night matchup.

Not on injury report
Curl (back) was absent from the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Curl was dealing with a sore back following the Rams' Week 5 loss to the Packers. The Week 6 bye appears to have helped, as Curl was a full participant in practice Wednesday, and the 2020 seventh-round pick should be good to go against the Raiders on Sunday. Curl has accumulated 32 tackles (20 solo), one pass breakup and one forced fumble through five regular-season games.

Leads team in tackles
Curl (back) logged eight tackles (four solo) and a pass deflection Sunday during the Rams' loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Curl's eight tackles were the most on the team, and he's now recorded 32 tackles (20 solo) on the season. However, the 25-year-old suffered a back injury during Sunday's losing effort, so he'll look to use the team's upcoming bye to get healthy before a Week 7 matchup against the Raiders.

Dealing with back injury
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Curl is dealing with a sore back following Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: McVay added that Curl's injury should not affect his availability going forward, especially with the Rams having a Week 6 bye. The first-year Ram has logged 32 total tackles and one pass defended across Los Angeles' first five contests. If Curl's back soreness does impact his availability after the Rams' bye, expect Jaylen McCollough to serve as the team's top strong safety.

Bolsters Rams' secondary
Curl (quadriceps) signed a two-year, $13 million deal with the Rams on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Curl was drafted in the seventh round of the 2020 draft, but he maintained a significant role on the defensive unit for the Commanders in all four of his seasons with the team. He topped 80 tackles in each of those campaigns and had at least four passes defensed on three occasions. The 24-year-old -- who is presumably past a quad injury that sidelined him in Washington's season finale -- is in line to play a key role in a revamped Rams' secondary that also includes the newly added Darious…read more

Makes career-high 115 tackles
Curl (quad) played 16 games in 2023 and recorded a career-high 115 tackles (74 solo) with five pass defenses, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and 1.0 sacks.
Analysis: The only game Curl missed was Week 18 due to a quad injury that he should recover from well before the start of the 2024 campaign. The 2020 seventh-round pick made 53 starts the past four seasons and was one of the more reliable parts of mostly unreliable Washington defenses, though he hasn't picked off a pass since his rookie season. Curl will turn 25 in March, about two weeks before he's scheduled for unrestricted free agency. It won't be shocking if the Commanders re-sign him before then,…read more

Sitting out Week 18
Curl (quadriceps) is inactive Sunday against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Curl will miss the Commanders' final game of the season after appearing in all of their previous 16 contests this year. In his absence, Sean Chandler will likely get the start at strong safety.

Could play Sunday
Curl (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Curl is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season in Week 18 after popping up on Washington's injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to a quadriceps issue. If the 24-year-old safety does end up getting ruled out, he'd be the fourth Commanders defensive back in line to miss Sunday's affair.

Added to injury report
Curl (quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The 24-year-old safety out of Arkansas popped up on the Commanders' injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to a quadriceps issue. Curl has yet to miss a game this year, but he'll almost certainly carry an injury designation into Washington's season finale unless he's able to practice in full Friday.

Nine tackles in loss
Curl finished Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers with nine tackles (six solo).
Analysis: Curl finished third on the Commanders' defense in tackles behind Cody Barton and Khaleke Hudson. It was the first time this season that Curl did not play every single defensive snap in a game, although he still played 62 snaps on defense in Sunday's loss. The 2020 seventh-round pick out of Arkansas has a career-high 115 tackles (74 solo), including 1.0 sack, five passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 16 games this season.

Reaches double-digit tackles
Curl recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Curl's 10 tackles marked the fourth time this season he has reached double-digit tackles and first time since Week 6. He saw the field for 100 percent (74) of defensive snaps, which marked his 10th time doing so in as many games. He has been the picture of reliability for Washington this season and will look to continue that streak heading into Week 11 versus the Giants.

Forces fumble in loss
Curl recorded seven tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Curl came up clutch for the Commanders in the second quarter when he forced the fumble on Kenneth Gainwell with the Eagles just three yards from the end zone, a loose ball recovered by defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis. Curl has played on every defensive snap this season and leads the team with 65 tackles. The 2020 seventh-round pick is well on his way to surpassing the 84 tackles he had last season.

Back to practicing in full
Curl (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: As expected, Curl appears to be on track to suit up Sunday at the Giants. He's had a phenomenal season up to this point, recording 9.2 tackles per game over Washington's first six contests.

Limited practice Wednesday
Curl (ankle) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Curl appears to have suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Falcons. Considering he was able to practice in any capacity to open the week, the safety seems likely to be able to play in Week 7 versus the Giants.

Logs double-digit tackles
Curl registered 11 tackles (eight solo) and three pass deflections in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Curl logged double-digit tackles for the second time this season en route to Washington's third win of the year. The 24-year-old is currently on pace to set a new career high in tackles and will look to increase those numbers versus the Giants next week.

Commanders' leading tackler in loss
Curl recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) including a sack in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss at Philadelphia.
Analysis: Curl played a season-high 67 snaps in Week 4, and he made the most of his extended time on the field, racking up double-digit tackles for the second time this year. He's on pace for his first career 100-tackle season heading into a Week 5 matchup versus Chicago.

Good to go
Curl (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Curl originally drew a questionable designation due to an illness, but he has seemingly put that behind him. Barring any setbacks, he is in line to take on his usual role at safety alongside Darrick Forrest. Curl, a 2020 seventh-round pick, has yet to miss a defensive snap through two games.

Questionable for Week 3
Curl (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Bills, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera suggested Curl will play, saying he's more probable than questionable. The 2020 seventh-round pick has played all 128 defensive snaps through two games, registering 19 tackles and one pass breakup.

Leads defense in tackles
Curl recorded 10 tackles (eight solo, one for a loss) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: He also played on all 58 defensive snaps on Sunday. Curl played in just 12 games last season due to injuries but managed to finish third on the team with 88 total tackles. The 2020 seventh-round pick out of Arkansas emerged as a leader in his rookie year and will be a key piece for the Commanders' defense. They'll hit the road for Week 2 to take on the Broncos.

Expects big things from defense
Curl said Washington's defense is focused on starting the season fast and starting every game fast, ESPN.com's John Keim reports.
Analysis: Curl has become one of the leaders for a defense that was among the league's best during his rookie season (2020) and among the worst the following year. Last year, the Commanders started slow but played better after September, in part because Curl rejoined the lineup after missing the first two games. He also missed the final three games, finishing the season with 83 tackles (58 solo) and one sack in 12 appearances (all starts). Curl's per-snap tackle rates dating back to his rookie year hint…read more

Returns from injury
Curl (ankle) participated in individual drills during Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Curl is coming off an ankle injury that held him out the final three games of the 2022 season, and though he sat out of the team drills during Wednesday's practice, he confirmed that he's healthy once again. The 2020 seventh-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie deal and has been a vital part of the Commanders defense, starting 37 games over the past three seasons and tallying three interceptions and 270 total tackles.

Sitting out versus Dallas
Curl (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Curl will now miss his third consecutive game to end the 2022 regular season due to an ankle injury. The third-year safety logged 84 tackles and one sack across 12 games this season, and his absence will once again leave Jeremy Reaves to start alongside Darrick Forrest.

Questionable for Week 18
Curl (ankle) is questionable to play Sunday versus the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Curl has missed the last two contests while dealing with an ankle issue and he could end up remaining sidelined for Sunday's season finale against Dallas. If he is forced to sit out, Jeremy Reaves would likely draw another start in Washington's secondary.

Not playing Sunday

Downgraded to doubtful
The Commanders have downgraded Curl's (ankle) status for Sunday's contest against Cleveland from questionable to doubtful.
Analysis: Curl was limited at all three of Washington's practices this week, but he appears likely to miss his second straight contest after logging 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps between Week 5 and Week 15. Jeremy Reaves stepped into Curl's starting role against San Francisco last week and will likely do so again Sunday against the Browns.

Questionable for Week 17
Curl (ankle) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Curl was unavailable for the Commanders' Week 16 loss to the 49ers while dealing with an ankle issue, and his status is now in question for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. The safety was able to practice in a limited capacity this week, which does bode well for his chances to play versus Cleveland. If he is ultimately ruled out, Jeremy Reaves would likely get the start at strong safety.

Limited to start Week 17 prep
Curl (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Curl missed last week's loss to the 49ers due to an ankle injury, but head coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday that Curl has a good shot to play Sunday versus the Browns.

Could return Sunday vs. Cleveland
Coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday that Curl (ankle) has a good shot to play Sunday versus the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: After missing Washington's loss at San Francisco in Week 16 recovering from an ankle injury, it appears Curl could come back as soon as Week 17. Jeremy Reaves took on an expanded role at the 49ers and would probably retain that role if Curl again can't go, though.

Analysis: Curl tested his injured ankle in a workout earlier Sunday but wasn't moving around as well as the Commanders hoped, so he'll be sidelined for the first time since Week 2. Expect Washington to turn to a combination of Jeremy Reaves and Percy Butler to fill in at safety in place of Curl, who has logged 84 tackles and one sack through his 12 appearances this season.

Questionable for Week 16
Curl (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Curl was limited with an ankle injury during practice Tuesday and Wednesday before sitting out Thursday's shortened session. While the specifics of this issue are still unknown, the 23-year-old could be in jeopardy of missing his third game of the 2022 campaign. Curl has totaled 84 tackles since missing the first two weeks of the season with a thumb injury, so his potential absence would likely leave Percy Butler to take on a starting role alongside free safety Darrick Forrest.

Curl (ankle) was a limited participant during the Commanders' practice Tuesday.
Analysis: Curl logged seven tackles while playing every defensive snap during Sunday's loss to the Giants, though it appears he came away from this contest with an ankle injury. The 23-year-old will now have two more opportunities to work his way back to full participation before Saturday's game against San Francisco.

Leads team in tackles
Curl registered 12 tickles (nine solo) and a tackle for loss during the 20-20 tie against the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Curl led the team in both solo and total tackles, both of which were also new season highs for the safety. The 23-year-old played every defensive snap for the ninth straight game and has recorded at least five tackles in all but one game this season. Curl will look to maintain this production after the bye week in a rematch against the Giants.

Snags seven tackles in victory
Curl recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Curl was once again very involved in the Commanders' defensive effort, registering at least seven tackles for the fifth time in nine games this season. The 23-year-old has yet to deflect a pass or record an interception this year, but his 57 tackles rank third overall on the team behind Cole Holcomb and Jamin Davis. Curl will likely remain busy in Week 12 when the Commanders take on the Falcons.

The cornerback has been a stout tackler with 45 stops (33 solo) and one sack over seven games this season, though he's yet to record a pass defended in 2022. Curl also played every defensive snap for the fifth game in a row, and he should continue to play a prominent defensive role against Philadelphia next Monday.

Analysis: Curl didn't practice at all last week and was ultimately ruled out for the season opener. However, he returned to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday and has a shot to make his season debut in Week 2.

Hopes to play Week 1
Curl recently underwent thumb surgery, but he hopes to be available for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports reports.
Analysis: Curl suffered the injury during the Commanders' second exhibition game and sat out the preseason finale. It's unclear when exactly the surgery occurred, but he appears to have avoided a significant issue. Nonetheless, Washington may still opt to be cautious and keep him sidelined for at least a game. If Curl were to miss game action, Darrick Forrest would likely be the next man up, while rookie Percy Butler would step into a backup role.

Dealing with thumb injury
Curl was diagnosed with a thumb injury Friday and may need surgery, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The defensive back sat out Saturday's preseason finale and was spotted Wednesday with his right arm in a sling, but it's unclear when he suffered the injury, though he did leave an Aug. 25 practice early with a member of the training staff. Commanders head coach Ron Rivera declined to comment Wednesday on whether or not Curl was in danger of missing the season opener. "We don't have to give you the injury report until next Wednesday, so we'll stay away from all that," he said. If Curl were to…read more

Picks up injury
Curl was seen with his arm in a sling while sitting out Washington's practice Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: The exact nature and severity of Curl's apparent arm injury are still unclear, leaving his availability for the team's season opener against Jacksonville up in the air. The 2020 seventh-round pick recorded 99 tackles, one sack and five passes defended over 16 games with 14 starts last year, and he is expected to reprise a prominent role in the team's secondary this regular season. Second-year safety Darrick Forrest should likely step into a larger role if Curl is ultimately unable to suit up in…read more

Just misses 100 tackles
Curl (knee) finished 2021 with 99 tackles, five pass defenses, one sack and one fumble recovery in 16 games.
Analysis: The 2020 seventh-round pick started 14 of 16 games and handled 84.7 percent of defensive snaps in his active contests, including six weeks with 100 percent snap share. Despite that, Curl finished without an interception, one year after recording three as a rookie (in 16 games, 11 starts). Still, he'll likely be back as a starter in 2022, and he could hit triple-digit tackles if he's playing next to a deep/free safety like Bobby McCain again.

Receives X-ray
Curl (knee) suffered something akin to a knee hyperextension Sunday according to head coach Ron Rivera, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Curl left early against the Giants with the injury and never returned. He received an X-ray, but it showed nothing serious.

Suffers knee injury
Curl is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants after suffering a knee injury.
Analysis: Curl was carted off the field in the second half with the injury, so it's likely that his season has come to a close. Prior to exiting the contest, Curl recorded three tackles with a pass defended.

Returns from COVID list
Curl (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Analysis: Curl was placed on the COVID-19 list last week, but he's now back on the active roster after clearing the health and safety protocols. He should reclaim his starting role at free safety for Washington this weekend at Dallas.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Curl was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: It's not yet clear whether Curl has tested positive for COVID-19 or whether he's considered a close contact, but he's unlikely to clear the league's protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia since he was placed on the list late in the week. If he's ultimately held out in Week 15, Bobby McCain will likely take on a starting role.

First sack of season
Curl recorded four solo tackles and one sack in Monday's 17-15 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Curl has had a quiet season so far, and has not had a game with double-digit tackles. However, the second-year safety was on the field for every defensive snap, which appears to be a common theme every week. Coming off his first year as one of the better rookies in the NFL, Curl has seen a slight dip in tackle opportunities after the return of Landon Collins, which renders him obsolete in shallower IDP formats.

Records eight tackles in win
Curl had eight tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in Washington's 29-19 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Analysis: Curl has been a steady presence in the Washington secondary this season. His eight tackles bring his 2021 total to 53, and he now has three passes defensed on the season. The 22-year-old will look to keep building on his sophomore season in Week 11 against Carolina.

Produces seven tackles
Curl registered seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Curl has 45 tackles, two pass deflections and one fumble recovery across eight appearances this season. However, when compared to his rookie campaign -- 88 tackles, three interceptions, two sacks and one defensive touchdown -- his production this year has been meager. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old safety is still worthy of IDP consideration -- particularly in deeper leagues -- due to his tackle volume.

Plays every snap
Curl had nine tackles (seven solo) and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Curl handled an every-down defensive role for the first time all season, and he was productive for IDP purposes with his opportunities. Now that the second-year pro appears to have secured such a large role, he could be an interesting fantasy option against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 7.

Records nine tackles
Curl posted nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 43-21 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Bobby McCain out-snapped Curl in Week 1, but that didn't last long, as Curl handled at least 75 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last two games. Curl proved it as a rookie in 2020 with 88 stops through 16 games (11 starts), but he still has just 15 tackles this year. Fellow safety Landon Collins probably has an edge for fantasy purposes at this time.

Emerges as rookie starter
Curl finished his 2020 rookie season with 88 tackles (63 solo), four pass defenses, three interceptions and two sacks in 16 games.
Analysis: The seventh-round pick made 11 starts and finished second on the team in tackles, handling a three-down role from Week 9 onward. He averaged 7.9 tackles over his final nine games of the regular season, then added seven more tackles in the playoff loss to Tampa Bay. PFF graded Curl at No. 28 out of 94 qualified safeties, further cementing his status as a starting-caliber player. He and Landon Collins (Achilles) could give Washington a formidable duo at safety in 2021, assuming the veteran makes…read more

Keeps churning out tackles
Curl posted eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: The rookie seventh-round pick continues to fill in admirably for Landon Collins (Achilles), who is on IR. Curl made his seventh straight start and his ninth of the season Sunday. Since becoming a full-time starter, Curl has averaged 8.6 tackles per game, adding two sacks, two pass breakups and a pick-six in that stretch.

Strong tackling continues
Curl posted eight tackles (seven solo) in Monday's 23-17 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Curl has taken on a much larger role in the second half of the season, registering at least right tackles in each of his last five games after recording no more than three tackles in any of his first seven games. The rookie seventh-round pick has cemented himself as Washington's starting strong safety.

Leads team in tackles Sunday
Curl recorded nine tackles (five solo) across 68 defensive reps in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Analysis: The seventh-round rookie from Arkansas has been a playmaker on Washington's defense over the past three weeks, recording 29 tackles and two sacks during that span. Since Landon Collins (Achilles) has been ruled out, Curl has played in 100 percent of the defensive snaps for Washington. He'll look to continue his great rookie campaign on Thursday in Dallas.

Records lone Washington sack
Curl tied Kendall Fuller with a team-high eight total tackles, including one sack, during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Washington was virtually incapable of generating pressure on Matthew Stafford, with Curl's first-quarter sack representing his team's only QB hit of the entire contest. The seventh-round rookie from Arkansas has started four of his past six appearances, while racking up an impressive 19 tackles, three QB hits and two sacks in his two most recent outings against the Giants and Lions. Curl has struggled in coverage, surrendering an 80 percent completion rate on 20 targets thus far, but he's also…read more

Gets sack, leads team in tackles
Curl collected 11 total tackles, including one sack during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: The seventh-round rookie was one of Washington's most fierce defenders in his seventh start of 2020, obliterating his previous game high of three tackles. Curl contributed two of Washington's nine QB hits on Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones, but the typically turnover-prone Jones was able to avoid any giveaways during Week 9.

Starting role on tap
Curl will start at strong safety following news that Landon Collins (torn Achilles) is done for the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Football Team selected Curl in the seventh round of April's draft after the 21-year-old spent three years as a starter for Arkansas. Curl immediately secured a role in Washington's defense, logging more than 30 percent of the defensive workload in five of seven games and recording 17 tackles (12 solo). Now, he's set to bump into a starting role that could pay major dividends for fantasy managers in IDP settings. Collins was on pace for a third straight 100-tackle season, and while Curl…read more
