Ogletree is in his fifth season with the Rams, who drafted him in the first round out of Georgia.
He took over a key role as their middle linebacker last season, and he has remained prominent during their switch to a 3-4 defence this season under new coordinator Wade Phillips.
Ogletree leads the Rams with 54 tackles in five games this season, including two sacks. He had 171 tackles by the team's count last season, the fifth-highest total in Rams history.
