Ronnie Rivers Injury History & Analysis

Rams RB Blake Corum broke his forearm in Week 18 and will miss the playoffs, HC Sean McVay said. The injury shouldn't have too big an impact on Corum's offseason. His absence leaves Ronnie Rivers as the Rams' No. 2 RB. Kyren Williams might handle 100% of the backfield touches this postseason. The Rams host the loser of Sunday night's Lions-Vikings game in Round 1.

Rams RB Kyren Williams showed no lingering effects from his OTA foot injury during the Rams' offseason program.

A Monday MRI revealed an ankle sprain for Rams RB Kyren Williams that's expected to keep him out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Backup Ronnie Rivers is also dealing with a PCL sprain that's expected to cost him a few weeks. That leaves Zach Evans and Royce Freeman as the only healthy RBs on the roster. Evans played his first 6 snaps of the season Sunday against the Cardinals, running for 10 yards on 4 carries. Freeman has been on the practice squad and averaged a dynamic 2.9 yards per carry since the start of 2021. We'll watch for specifics on L.A.'s backfield plan for Week 7. But expect a pass-heavy approach for a team that has already leaned that way. Evans and Freeman only appear worth a waiver look if you're in dire need. The Pittsburgh matchup has been slightly positive for RB scoring, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed.
