Floyd agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the 49ers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 31-year-old has demonstrated durability by not missing a game during the previous six seasons and now projects to provide edge-rush assistance opposite Nick Bosa.

Rotowire
Floyd (ribs) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Floyd did not participate at practice Wednesday, but it looks like the Bills were probably just giving him extra rest. He projects to start on the edge Sunday at Miami, and he's half a sack away from a career-best season in that category.

Bills' Leonard Floyd: Still dealing with injury
Rotowire
Floyd (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Floyd has been dealing with the injury since suffering it in the team's Week 2 win over the Raiders, although he did play Sunday against the Commanders. It's unclear if he aggravated the injury or if Wednesday can be viewed more as a maintenance or recovery day for the veteran linebacker. His practice status for Thursday will be worth monitoring and likely bring more clarity to his availability Week 4 against the Dolphins.

Floyd suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Raiders, and it was reported Monday that he is expected to be day-to-day.

Rotowire
Floyd compiled three tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in the Bills' 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets in Week 1.

Bills' Leonard Floyd: Headed to Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bills signed Floyd to a one-year deal Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Rams were unable to trade Floyd, so they released the pass rusher in March to clear cap space. The 2016 first-round pick recorded 29 sacks over three seasons with Los Angeles and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2017. In Buffalo, Floyd will add depth to a pass-rushing group that already features Von Miller (knee), Shaq Lawson, Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.

Rotowire
Floyd recorded five tackles (four solo), including a sack, ad two additional quarterback hits during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

The veteran linebacker has carved out a healthy role in his three seasons with the Rams, recording 184 tackles and 29 sacks over that span; with two years left on his current contract, he will look to continue his solid production in 2023.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Floyd (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Floyd wasn't on Wednesday's injury report and didn't practice Thursday for rest purposes, but he's dealing with a stomach bug that jeopardizes his availability for Week 17. If he's unavailable against the Chargers, Daniel Hardy and Keir Thomas could see increased playing time.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Floyd (knee) is listed as questionable but is slated to play Sunday against the Falcons, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Floyd didn't practice Thursday or Friday after being limited Wednesday, but it appears he'll still suit up Sunday. Nothing is official yet, so fantasy managers in IDP leagues will likely still have to wait until closer to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff before final confirmation. Assuming Floyd is available, he should retain his usual role as a core piece of Los Angeles' defense.

Rams' Leonard Floyd: Leaves field Monday
Rotowire
Rams coach Sean McVay said that the team wanted to be "smart with [Floyd]" after he exited practice early Monday with a "lower half" issue, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Floyd recently returned to football activities at the opening of training camp after he underwent offseason surgery to address a lingering right ankle injury. The veteran pass rusher is coming off the two highest single-season sack marks of his career in 2020 (10.5) and 2021 (9.5). Therefore, it's logical that the Rams would place the utmost priority on keeping Floyd healthy this preseason.

For a second consecutive session, Floyd will be a DNP on the Rams' injury report, but he was able to ride a stationary bike in the media access portion of Thursday's practice.

Rotowire
Floyd (ankle) departed Monday's practice early with a slight limp, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
