Rob Havenstein of the Rams announces retirement following 11 seasons in the NFL.
Rob Havenstein, offensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams, announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday after an 11-season career.
“11 years, 150+ starts, 4-time captain, 4 NFC West Championships, 2 NFC Championships, and 1 Super Bowl Champion. What a journey it has been! I can reflect on my career with satisfaction, knowing I have given everything I had and more to the sport I cherish,” he shared on Instagram. “With that said, I am officially retiring from the NFL.”

Selected in the second round of the 2015 draft, Havenstein was the longest-serving player on the Rams, dedicating his entire NFL career to the franchise.
As a team captain for the past four seasons, he played as the right tackle during the Rams’ triumph in Super Bowl LVI.
At 33 years old, Havenstein participated in seven games for the Rams in the 2025 season, sidelined at times due to an ankle injury. He was set to return from injured reserve during the playoffs but was ultimately ruled out prior to the NFC Championship Game.
Following the Rams’ season-ending defeat in Seattle, Havenstein remarked that his ankle “was injured enough to likely play but hurt enough not to perform well.”
Havenstein appeared in 148 regular-season games for the Rams, starting in all of them.
