Last season, the Los Angeles Rams had to fight for a playoff spot. At 10-7, they were the 7th seed in the NFC playoffs. The Rams had to play the Lions in Detroit, where they lost a close game. Head coach Sean McVay is looking for his team to have another winning season in 2024.
This week, the Rams started OTA’s and one notable offensive player was not available to practice. Pro Bowl RB Kyren Williams is dealing with a “foot issue” according to Sean McVay. The head coach assured reporters that his injury was nothing to worry about. He expects Williams to be ready for training camp this summer.

In 2023, Kyren Williams played in 12 of the Rams’ 17 games and made 10 starts. He sat in Week 18 when Los Angeles rested most of their starters. Williams proved to be a dual-threat RB for the Rams last season. He carried the ball 228 times for 1,144 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Additionally, the 23-year-old had 32 catches for 206 yards and three receiving touchdowns. That was enough to earn Williams a spot in the Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. Williams missed four games last season on the injured reserve with an ankle injury and still had an incredibly productive year.
For now, the Rams will practice without Williams. They’ve upgraded their RB room this offseason with two key additions. In the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Rams took Michigan RB Blake Corum. The 2023 national champion will be a nice complement to Williams in the backfield when he’s fully healthy….
