Terrance Ferguson injury: status, history and who gets his targets if he is out

Los Angeles Rams · Tight end · status this week: ON RESERVE / IR (ESPN)

Checked Oct 21, 2026.

Over his 1 full season on record, Terrance Ferguson played 13 of 17 regular-season games (76%), and 3 of 6 so far in 2026. Season by season.

The Los Angeles Rams room absorbs +1.83 receptions, and Tyler Higbee takes the largest single share at +0.55. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the tight end room.

Where the work goes

Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.

Regular season only. Games played counts games with at least one offensive snap; designations are from the official weekly injury report, which does not list players on injured reserve, so a long absence shows as missed games rather than as weeks listed out.

What the data says happens

Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.

When a team’s number-one tight end does not play, what each position group gains:

RoomReceptions gainednt
Receivers+0.1072,1602.29
Tight ends+0.4921,0249.57
Backs-0.0451,259-0.92

The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
