Signed a three-year, $48 million contract with the Rams in March of 2024.
Diagnosed with ankle sprain
Head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Dotson is nursing a sprained left ankle and is doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Falcons on Monday, Dec. 29, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dotson was carted off the field during the first quarter of the Rams' overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday. He was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after undergoing further tests, and even with the extra time to recover, it appears the sixth-year offensive lineman will miss at least one game. Justin Dedich is a candidate to start at right guard against Atlanta if Dotson is indeed ruled out for Week 17.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Offseason target for Commanders?
Dotson would be a sensible free-agent fit in Washington, according to Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports.
ANALYSIS
Dotson spent his first three seasons with the Steelers before being traded to the Rams, with whom he started 14 games in 2023. Washington's looking to reshape its offensive line, and Dotson would take over a starting spot at guard if he signs with the Commanders as a free agent.
