Rams' Cobie Durant: Makes some strides in second year
Rotowire
Durant logged 39 tackles (23 solo) and six passes defended during the 2023 regular season over 16 games played.
The sophomore corner bounced in and out of the starting lineup throughout the season, and while his tackles and snaps on defense both increased over his rookie year, he failed to record a pick after notching three of them in 2022. The cornerback position for the Rams could be in flux heading into 2024, with Ahkello Witherspoon a free agent and little depth behind Durant remaining, so Durant's role for his third campaign may be hard to determine before training camp begins.

Durant is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 8 game against Dallas due to a shoulder injury.
Durant was looked at by team trainers after hurting his shoulder in the first half of the contest. The fourth-round pick in the 2022 draft has taken on a larger role as the season has progressed, logging 100 percent of the Rams' defensive snaps for the first time last week against Pittsburgh.
