Rams invite 4 running backs to compete for carries after injuries to their top 2 backs
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — When the Los Angeles Rams abruptly lost the top two remaining running backs on their depth chart to late-game injuries last Sunday, they decided to open a midseason competition for the job. With four candidates in place, the Rams’ coaching staff will spend this week deciding who gets the ball Sunday when Los Angeles hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers. “We’re truly navigating through that.” The Rams were forced into this open audition because Kyren Williams injured his left ankle a few plays after backup running back Ronnie Rivers hurt his knee in the second half of LA’s 26-9 victory over Arizona. The former five-star high school recruit who played at TCU and Mississippi has been in the Rams’ system all year, although he only got his first four regular-season carries in the final minutes last Sunday. Akers and Henderson were the primary running backs on the Rams’ championship team two seasons ago.
