    The Rams are going to be without both Kyren Williams AND Ronnie Rivers on Sunday. It certainly begs the question — do the Rams need to sign a RB immediately? (They have $6.1M in cap space for 2023) Evans and Freeman are the current options.

    I’d see if the Vikings would make a deal for Cam Akers.

    That guy is very close to 100 yards on the season already.

    While Kyren Williams’ MRI revealed just an ankle sprain that may knock him out this week, the news was not as positive for Ronnie Rivers. Source says he has a Grade 3 PCL sprain and is out 4-5 weeks. That likely means IR.

    Sean McVay said RBs Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers are “going to be out for a little bit.” Still working through exactly how long they will be out, but McVay said “the initial prognosis looks like it’s going to be challenging for those guys in the immediate future.”

    Rams can’t have nice things.

    On the other hand…maybe Evans is what he’s cracked up to be. Draft day thread w/ write-ups & highlights & Waldman vids: https://theramshuddle.com/topic/rams-pick-at-215/

    Yeah, it’s Zach Evans, I would think.

    I would think knowing the blocking schemes would be the most important thing. I’m sure any RB can take a handoff and run in the right direction whether they’re effective, or not. But protecting Stafford is probably the most crucial responsibility, and who knows if Evans is any good at that. Blocking is often the deficiency in rookie RBs that keep them out of the starting lineup. Even Jackson had some issues early in his career.

    I don’t know if the blocking has changed significantly with the new OL approach. I don’t know anything about blocking schemes. If they’ve changed, maybe Michel would have problems.

    Regardless, gotta hope Williams misses only a week, but this may be a high ankle thing. Low ankle sprains usually don’t keep people out, seems like.

    fwiw, yes they have changed completely…on run blocking anyway. I don’t know about pass blocking schemes though you would think not.

    More RB reinforcements on the way: the Rams are signing running back Myles Gaskin off the Vikings’ practice squad and on to their active roster, per source.

    #Rams RB Kyren Williams is expected to miss multiple games but should be back, at the latest, after the Week 10 bye, per source. Williams suffered an ankle sprain on Sunday.

    RAMS REPORT@RamsNFLReport
    Kyren Williams likely out until week 11. That’s a huge blow for this team after he had a game like he just had. Hopeful that the rest of the RB room is ready to  carry on.

    Rams CB Derion Kendrick, back at practice today, said he was in custody until Wednesday following Monday arrest. He said he feels ready to play Sunday after several conversations w/ teammates, coaches and rehydration process w/ medical staff

    Rams are placing RB Kyren Williams on injured reserve today due to his ankle injury, sidelining him at least four games, per sources. Williams now will be eligible to return in Week 12 at Arizona.

    #Rams have to be careful. You only get 8 IR spots to designate to return. They’ve currently used 2 but their IR has 5 that the Rams do want to bring back this season: RB Kyren Williams RB Ronnie Rivers TE Hunter Long IDL Bobby Brown III SAF Jason Taylor II Can’t just bring everyone back…

    Good catching up with Darrell Henderson, who seemed delighted by all the young energy in locker room. He told me he doesn’t know how his role will shake out Sunday, but this week was a lot of “game conditioning” (he has not been on a team) and reviving muscle memory. “Whenever

    those guys need a breather and it’s my turn to roll, I’m gonna be ready to go.” He feels good on scheme.

    Henderson is expected to be elevated off practice squad Sunday, and McVay has reiterated it may be a rotation between three, or even 4 backs. ST a factor in numbers too.

    (I’ll add one last time that I have no clue how this is gonna go rotation-wise, seems like backs will know for sure when game plan is cemented usually Sat nights, whoever is broadcasting this game will probably have the inside track and we’ll see how it goes. I talked with all

    of them through the week at certain points and seems like this will just continue taking shape not just w data from practices but games as well.)
