Rams head coach Jeff Fisher gave an update on Quinn’s status and things are looking good for him, according to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN:
"Rams coach Jeff Fisher said DE Robert Quinn is still undergoing tests for an unspecified condition, but said “things look encouraging.” Quinn told him he just wants to get back on the practice field.” Asked if it was related to the brain tumor he had in high school, Fisher said it’s “highly unlikely.”More Fisher on Quinn: “He’s feeling much better. He kept saying to me over and over, ‘Coach, I just want to get back, get my mind right, and get back on the field as fast as I can.'”"

The post has since been taken down, but we have a screenshot thanks to a Rams fan:
Later on, this tweet came from Quinn’s account, but we’re not sure what it means:
Quinn’s medical issues are well-known. Not only did he have a benign tumor removed that shortened his final year in college, but he also lives with a tumor at the base of his brain.
It isn’t known if the seizures are related or not.
The 26-year-old was on the field for Los Angeles in Week 10 on Sunday during a game that the Rams won.
It’s good to see Quinn is doing OK and we hope he makes a speedy recovery.
