14 Feb
Summary
- Lake played every defensive snap until an elbow injury in Week 11.
- He returned for the playoff run, playing every defensive snap.
- Lake signed a three-year, $42 million contract extension.

Lake concluded the 2025 regular season with 61 tackles and one forced fumble over 10 games for the Rams. He maintained a streak of playing every defensive snap until suffering an elbow injury in Week 11. This injury required surgery, leading to his absence until the playoffs.
Fortunately, Lake made a full recovery and returned for the postseason, where he once again played every defensive snap. His consistent play and commitment despite the injury have been rewarded with a substantial three-year contract worth $42 million. This deal ensures he remains the Rams' starting slot cornerback through the 2028 season.
