News

  • Plays every snap versus Jets

    Rapp recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Monday night's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Rapp played all 63 defensive snaps, logging 100 percent of the snap share for the first time since Week 1. It was Rapp's first game back after he suffered a Week 4 concussion. In addition to the eight tackles, Rapp racked up a season-best three pass breakups in the secondary. Rapp and Damar Hamlin have formed Buffalo's new tandem at safety this year.

  • Gains clearance

    Head coach Sean McDermott stated Wednesday that Rapp has cleared concussion protocols, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp missed Week 5's loss to the Jaguars, but he should be all set for Monday's matchup with the Jets barring any setbacks.

  • Remains in concussion protocol

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Rapp is still in concussion protocol, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Rapp missed the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Texans after sustaining a concussion the week prior, and it appears he hasn't moved past the issue just yet. The veteran safety could practice in some capacity this week, but he must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up for Buffalo's Week 6 matchup against the Jets next Monday night.

  • Won't play Week 5

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Rapp (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp will miss at least one contest as he works his way through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The starting safety didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday and Thursday. Cole Bishop figures to take over as a starter alongside Damar Hamlin with Rapp out of commission versus Houston.

  • Loggs DNP

    Rapp (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Rapp suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and will now have to make his way through the league's five-step protocols to gain clearance to return to the field. He'll likely need to get on the field in some capacity by Friday to have a chance to play in Week 5 against the Texans.

  • Downgraded to out

    Rapp (concussion) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: The safety left the field after making a hit on Baltimore running back Derrick Henry during the first half. Rapp made two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Cole Bishop is his backup.

  • Might have head injury

    Rapp is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: The safety left the field after making a hit on Baltimore running back Derrick Henry. Rapp made two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Cole Bishop is his backup.

  • Bright star in training camp

    Rapp continues to work with the first-team defense during training camp and continues to make big plays while being looked to for leadership by coach Sean McDermott, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: With longtime stars Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde no longer in the fold, Rapp already stood a good chance of serving in a starting role entering camp. However, between his own strong play and injuries to Mike Edwards (hamstring) and Cole Bishop (shoulder), Rapp is now pretty much guaranteed to start for Week 1. Rapp put up 94 tackles and four interceptions in a starting role for the Rams in 2021, so he's worthy of the IDP radar in Buffalo now that the starting role looks to be his.

  • Back in Buffalo on three-year deal

    Rapp (calf) re-signed with the Bills on Wednesday on a three-year contract worth up to $14.5 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With the Bills releasing Jordan Poyer earlier Wednesday and with Micah Hyde scheduled for free agency, keeping Rapp was a priority for general manager Brandon Beane. Rapp played on a one-year deal with the Bills in 2023, appearing in 16 regular-season games (four starts) and registering 50 tackles (33 solo), one interception, one fumble recovery and 0.5 sacks. He'll likely settle into a full-time starting role in 2024.

  • Won't play vs. Chiefs

    Rapp (calf) is out for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp will miss his second straight game in the divisional round due to a lingering calf injury. In his absence, 2021 sixth-rounder Damar Hamlin will probably continue to see an uptick in defensive snaps.

  • Remains sidelined at practice

    Rapp (calf) did not participate at the Bills' practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Rapp was unable to go in Monday's wild-card win over the Steelers and he's now been listed as absent for Buffalo's first two practice sessions of the week. The safety will likely have to practice in some capacity Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs in the divisional round.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Rapp (calf) was listed as a nonparticipant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

    Analysis: Rapp sat out the 31-17 win over the Steelers in the wild-card round Monday, and Wednesday's absence doesn't bode well for his potential availability against the Chiefs in the divisional round. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would change that narrative ahead of Sunday's home game.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Rapp (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Steelers, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Rapp, who was listed as a non-participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, will thus target a potential return to action next weekend, should the Bills advance Sunday. Rapp's absence represents a hit to Buffalo's secondary depth this weekend, with the safety coming off a 2023 campaign in which he recorded 50 tackles and an interception in 16 games.

  • Tending to calf injury

    Rapp (calf) did not participate at Buffalo's walkthrough practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: It's not immediately clear when Rapp picked up the calf issue, but his availability for the wild-card round is now in question. If he can't get back to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely have to sit out Sunday.

  • Logs one tackle in Week 17

    Rapp logged one tackle on seven defensive snaps in Sunday's Week 17 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: With Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde healthy and playing every defensive snap, Rapp took a back seat after starting the previous two games. He's quality depth for the Buffalo defense and has 49 tackles (33 solo), one fumble recovery and 0.5 sacks on the year.

  • Leads defensive charge in tight win

    Rapp posted nine total tackles in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Rapp has been put on the spot with starter Micah Hyde out with a neck injury, as he's played 100 percent if the defensive snaps in each of the past two weeks while recording his two highest tackle totals of the season in that span, with Saturday's nine being his highest single-game mark. Rapp is still looking for his first interception of the season -- he's previously never had a pro season without one -- but he's been around the ball with regularity in Hyde's absence and makes for a good IDP…read more

  • Eight tackles in win

    Rapp recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Rapp was unable to play in Week 14 due to a neck injury, but he made sure to take advantage of his return Sunday, compiling a season-high eight takedowns. The safety stepped into a more significant role with Micah Hyde (neck) unavailable and would likely operate in a similar capacity if Hyde can't go in Week 16 versus the Chargers.

  • Gets back on field

    Rapp (neck) logged a full practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Rapp has come out of the Bills' bye week healthy after missing the team's Week 12 loss to the Eagles. Ultimately, it's a quick recovery, considering the 25-year-old left Buffalo's Week 11 win over the Jets in an ambulance. His return should be a boost to the depth of the Bills' secondary when they play the Chiefs on Sunday.

  • Unavailable vs. Eagles

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Rapp (neck) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp's absence will be significant for Buffalo's already-shorthanded secondary, especially with Dane Jackson (concussion) also ruled out for Week 12. With Rapp out, Damar Hamlin could get a chance to handle depth work on defense for the second time this season. Rapp's next chance to play will come Week 14 vs. the Chiefs, after a much-needed bye.

  • Listed as limited

    Rapp (neck) was considered a limited participant for Thursday's walkthrough practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp left the field via an ambulance during Sunday's win over the Jets, so his ability to get back on the field is good news for his recovery. He should still be considered questionable for a Week 12 matchup with the Eagles, but he could potentially shed that tag if he can log a full practice Friday.

  • Tests on neck come back clean

    Tests on Rapp's injured neck all came back negative Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapp had to be loaded onto a stretcher and taken off the field via ambulance in Sunday's win over the Jets, but, all things considered, it sounds like he's going to be okay. The Buffalo defense continues to be ravaged by injuries in 2023, and Rapp's availability for a Week 12 road showdown with the Eagles is naturally in question.

  • Resting at home

    Coach Sean McDermott said after Sunday's win over the Jets that he believes Rapp (neck) is resting at home, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Rapp was taken off the field in an ambulance following a hard collision Sunday, but he at least initially remained in the locker room rather than being taken to the hospital. While it's unclear whether he was ever taken to the hospital, it's encouraging that he's now resting at home. Whether he'll be available for next Sunday's game against the Eagles remains to be seen.

  • Exits in ambulance

    Rapp (neck) was taken off the field in an ambulance and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Rapp sustained a neck injury after a hard collision with Jets running back Breece Hall. The Bills nickelback remained down on the field and was tended to for some time by the team's training staff. He was then loaded into an ambulance that took him off the field, and he was seen moving his hands while being loaded into the vehicle, according to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. Rapp also remained in Buffalo's locker room for further examination rather than being taken to the hospital,…read more

  • Set to start Week 10

    Rapp is expected to take over the starting role at strong safety with Micah Hyde (neck) ruled out for Monday's game against the Broncos, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp has mostly contributed in a depth safety role and on special teams this season. With Hyde out, Rapp will fill in at strong safety opposite Jordan Poyer. Rapp got the start in Week 4 against the Dolphins when Poyer was ruled out with a knee injury, and the former played every single defensive snap and recorded six tackles (five solo).

  • Next man up at safety

    Rapp will likely start in Sunday's game versus Miami, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jordan Poyer (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, making room for Rapp to step in as a starter for the first time as a Bill. He'll have his work cut out for him lined up across from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Week 4.

  • Catches on with Bills

    Rapp agreed Monday with Buffalo on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Rapp is now in line to suit up for the Bills in 2023 following Monday's agreement. The 25-year-old has served as the Rams' starting strong safety since he was drafted as a second-round selection by Los Angeles in 2019, and he registered 92 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions across 16 contests last season. Although the Bills already have two prominent safety options in Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde (neck), Rapp is still more than likely to command a rotational role within the…read more

  • Logs 92 stops in 2022

    Rapp recorded 92 tackles (58 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions and recorded a fumble over 16 games in 2022.

    Analysis: Rapp's final year of his rookie deal saw him put together a nearly identical season to two of his previous three, discounting his 2020 season where he only played in nine games. In his other three campaigns, he's combined for 286 tackles, 20 pass defenses and 10 interceptions. A return to the Rams for the unrestricted free agent would mean fighting for playing time against Jordan Fuller (hamstring), who started the season as a co-starter at strong safety until injuries kept him off the field…read more

  • Ties for team lead in tackles

    Rapp recorded nine tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: It was an overall quiet night for a Rams defense that was a week removed from dismantling the Broncos, but Rapp continued to stuff the stat sheet, bringing his total tackles on the year up to 87 with one game left to go. A lost season for the Rams comes to a close against the Seahawks in Week 18, and while Rapp only managed four tackles against them in Week 13, he did tack on a fumble recovery and two pass defenses.

  • Picks in back-to-back weeks

    Rapp recorded seven tackles (six solo), an interception and one pass defended during Monday's 24-12 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Rapp's first-quarter interception of Aaron Rodgers was the safety's second pick in as many weeks, as Rodgers sailed a pass over the head of Allen Lazard and Rapp capitalized with the easy pick. Denver's anemic offense is next up in Week 16, and even with Russell Wilson (concussion) likely returning at quarterback over Brett Rypien, Rapp should be in line for another strong performance.

  • Snags first pick of season

    Rapp recorded three tackles (one solo) and one interception during Thursday's 17-16 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: After Baker Mayfield's improbable 98-yard touchdown drive to put the Rams up by a point with just seconds remaining, Derek Carr attempted to start a game-winning drive of his own by dialing up Davante Adams on his first pass attempt. Rapp was ready, however, and stepped in front of Adams to bring down Carr's desperation heave and give the Rams their first win since defeating the Panthers all the way back in Week 6. Rapp will look to add to his interception total in Week 15 against the Packers…read more

  • Logs season high in tackles

    Rapp recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Rapp didn't miss a snap on defense, and he stuffed the stat box with a team-high 12 tackles. The Rams as a defense bent but didn't break against the mighty Chiefs offense, which had to settle for just a pair of touchdowns and four field goals. Rapp's previous season high for tackles was eight in Week 9, and he'll look to follow up on his solid statistical production against Seattle in a Week 13 showdown with another high-octane offense.

  • Back in full Thursday

    Rapp (ribs) was listed as a full participant on the Rams' injury report Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rapp was limited with a rib injury during practice last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The safety returned to practice in a limited fashion again Wednesday, but he now appears ready to suit up for Week 6 against the Panthers. Rapp recorded 16 tackles over the first four games of the season, and his availability this Sunday should be a big boost for the Rams' banged-up secondary.

  • Limited again Wednesday

    Rapp (ribs) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Rapp popped up with a rib issue on last Wednesday's injury report and was sidelined during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. As a result, backup Terrell Burgess played 100 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps, as fellow starting safety Jordan Fuller was out on IR in Week 5. Rapp recorded 16 tackles, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble over the first four games of the season, and he'll have two more practices to improve his injury status before this Sunday's game against Carolina.

  • Sitting out Week 5

    Rapp (ribs) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Rapp was limited during practice Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining a rib injury during Monday's loss to the 49ers, which will ultimately leave him sidelined against Dallas. With fellow starting safety Jordan Fuller (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four weeks on IR, expect Terrell Burgess and Russ Yeast to take on larger roles in the Rams' banged-up secondary.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Rapp (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rapp was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday after suffering a rib injury during Monday's loss to the 49ers. Per Rodrigue, McVay said Wednesday that the issue shouldn't impact Rapp's status for Week 5, but it appears that may not be the case. Fellow defensive back Jordan Fuller (hamstring) is set to miss a few weeks, so the Rams secondary could be without two of its top safeties for Sunday's matchup against Dallas.

  • Dealing with injury

    Rapp (ribs) was a limited participant during the Rams' practice Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Rapp is dealing with a rib injury following Monday's loss to the 49ers, though it's unclear when this injury first arose. The strong safety recorded 13 tackles while playing almost every down over the first three weeks of the season, but he was limited to just 51 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps in Week 4. However, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that this injury should not affect Rapp's availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic. The…read more

  • Logs three tackles

    Rapp recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 31-27 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Rapp may not have stuffed the stat sheet with his line on Sunday, but for the second straight week, he played significantly more defensive snaps than Jordan Fuller (50 to 36) and nearly the same amount as Nick Scott (53), showing how much the Rams trust the fourth-year safety. Despite the quiet first two weeks of the season for Rapp, the sheer volume of opportunities should yield dividends in the long term.

  • Available for Super Bowl

    Rapp (concussion) is active for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup with the Bengals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rapp will be active for the first time since sustaining the concussion Week 18 against the 49ers. Eric Weddle has done a fantastic job filling in for him during the playoffs and is going to be the defensive play caller for the Rams on Sunday, so Rapp could garner a lesser role than he had during the regular season.

  • Full participant Friday

    Rapp (concussion) was a full participant during Friday's practice and doesn't currently carry an injury designation heading into Super Bowl week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rapp, who has missed the entirety of the playoffs while out with a concussion, appears to be on track to play in the Super Bowl. It's unclear how the free safety will figure into the defense, as veteran Eric Weddle has done an excellent job filling in for him over the Rams' three previous postseason wins.

  • Limited in walkthrough

    Rapp (concussion) was estimated as a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rapp has missed the entirety of the playoffs while out with a concussion but appears to be on track to play in the Super Bowl after receiving a limited participation estimate in back-to-back days. The free safety will have at least one more week to clear concussion protocol, otherwise, veteran Eric Weddle will likely fill in for the fourth-straight game.

    Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Rapp (concussion) is "turning the corner in a positive way," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Analysis: Rap has missed the Rams' first three playoff games with a concussion, but he was able to return to practice in a limited capacity ahead of the NFC Championship Game. He'll have two weeks to get back to full participation, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.

    Rapp (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Rapp has missed back-to-back games since sustaining a concussion Week 18 versus San Francisco, but he was able to get back on the practice field this week as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. While his inability to log a full session at any point may mean he still has multiple phases to complete before gaining clearance from the protocol for head injuries, the final word will come from an independent neurologist.

    Analysis: Rapp missed the Rams' wild-card win over Arizona, as did fellow starting safety Jordan Fuller, who is out for the season with an ankle injury. Nick Scott has proven himself a capable replacement at one safety spot, while Terrell Burgess and Eric Weddle split time at the other spot last week.

    Rapp (knee) had 44 tackles (32 solo), three pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble across nine games in 2020.

    Analysis: Rapp missed the Rams' final seven regular-season games due to a knee injury, and he was also unable to return for either of the team's postseason tilts, but it seems like should be on track for the tentative start of offseason workouts.

The Rams are hoping that the second-year safety can return to the field in short order, though Rodrigue reports his absence will likely extend four weeks or more.

    Rapp posted eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Rapp played every defensive snap because Jordan Fuller (shoulder) remained out of the lineup, and he ended up leading the team in tackles for a second straight week. A knee injury has been deemed one of the major causes for Rapp's demotion to a reserve role in favor of Fuller, but perhaps the 2019 second-round pick's recent performance will allow him to retake the starting gig.

    Rapp recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo. He played 55 of 62 defensive snaps.

    Analysis: Starting safety Jordan Fuller (shoulder) was injured in the second quarter and didn't return during Sunday's contest, so Rapp saw an uptick in playing time and turned in a solid fantasy showing. Rapp was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, started 10 games and racked up 100 tackles for the Rams last year. However, a preseason knee injury allowed Fuller to usurp Rapp for the starting job. Their fortunes may be reversed now. If Fuller misses time, Rapp should return to being a…read more

  • Potential demotion

    Rapp played behind rookie sixth-round pick Jordan Fuller against Dallas on Sunday, finishing with just three tackles to Fuller's team-leading eight.

    Analysis: Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic reported that coach Sean McVay said Rapp, a presumed starter going into 2020, was not injured. McVay also said "Rapp continues to be a huge part of" the Rams defense, but it's hard to see how Rapp plays much if Fuller is logging starter-level snaps. Rapp posted 100 tackles on 834 snaps as a rookie second-round pick last year, so if he was demoted in favor of Fuller, then it's a rather shocking turn.

    Rapp (knee) should return "in the next week or so," per coach Sean McVay, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: The injury has been dubbed relatively minor, but fantasy managers would feel more comfortable if the sophomore was on the field preparing for the beginning of the season. Rapp posted solid numbers down the stretch last year with 68 tackles (45 solo), two interceptions, six passes defensed and a fumble recovery through the final nine games of the campaign and should be a reliable asset in most IDP settings again in 2020.

    Analysis: Rapp's first career interception came in the form of a pick-six of Kyler Murray. The rookie second-round pick also nabbed a pass earlier in the Week 13 contest, but the play was called back due to a pass interference penalty on Nickell Robey-Coleman. Rapp will look to bounce back to his usual strong tackle numbers against the Seahawks in Week 14.
