An MRI today revealed that Rams’ RB Kyren Williams has a sprained ankle that is expected to sideline him for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers.

Rivers is also expected to miss Week 7 with a PCL sprain, so the Rams are likely looking to Freeman and Evans to take over the backfield. Williams injury is not considered long-term, according to Schefter and his source.

The Rams run the risk of being down two RBs: Kyren Williams, Ronnie Rivers.

Williams, who rushed for 158 yards yesterday, suffered an ankle injury. He left without a boot but is getting an MRI, according to Rapoport. Rivers is believed to have a PCL sprain that could keep him out a few weeks and he's also getting an MRI, Rapoport said. HC Sean McVay has already said he doesn't believe Williams' ankle injury is serious, but his status for Week 7 remains in doubt as of now. Evans and Freeman are next up and it's likely at least one of them will see some time, assuming Rivers can't play in Week 7.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kyren Williams suffered a bruised hip during Sunday's overtime win in Indianapolis, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

No additional information was in the story, but Williams injury may result in some limitations in practice this week, the story added. Williams' status should be monitored ahead of a tough Week 5 matchup with the Eagles on Sunday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay addressed running back Cam Akers’ status at his press conference following the team’s 30-23 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Akers was inactive and a report from Jay Glazer of Fox Sports indicated that the Rams are trying to trade him. If that sounds familiar, it is likely because Akers asked to be traded last season and the Rams tried to make it happen but Akers remained with the team.

McVay, according to the story, said, “this is different” than last year’s situation and said the decision to sit Akers was “in the best interest of our football team.” Perhaps the biggest fantasy take from this is Williams, Rivers, and Freeman handled the running back duties and McVay said that will remain the case “as we move forward.”

If Williams is still on your wire, he likely won't be there for long. Williams played a majority of the snaps, and again played well scoring two more TDs, while Rivers ended up with one catch for four yards. It remains to be seen if Akers will play for the Rams again but as the story said, it's looking like his time in LA is over.

Rams waived RB Darrell Henderson.

On one hand this is a bit of a surprise, while on the other hand the Rams season has been a hot mess. It looks like Akers slides back in as the team's RB1 while Williams should be the change of pace and passing down back. Henderson is 25 and should land with another team as an early-down option.

Kyren Williams is on the verge of returning to the Rams’ backfield on Sundays. Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that he believes Williams could be active against the Cardinals this weekend, which would be his first game since injuring his ankle in Week 1.

“I think there’s a good chance he’ll be up this week,” McVay said.

It's looking like a crowded backfield for the Rams. It's possible the team eases Williams back into action, but if he's still on your wire it's worth adding an RB with some upside and taking a wait-and-see approach. As the story said, the Rams traded up to select Williams in the fifth round of the draft this year. He missed most of the summer with a broken foot before injuring his ankle in the season opener against the Bills.

The Rams first held Cam Akers out of practice on Oct. 14 citing “personal reasons,” and they have held him out of practice and games since. Coach Sean McVay, who initially called the situation an “internal” matter, later publicly confirmed the Rams were working to trade Akers.

It's hard to imagine Akers will immediately return to a featured role in Week 9 but the backfield is trending back towards a giant headache. The article confirms that the team was actively trying to trade the young RB but didn't receive any "realistic" offers.

The Rams are working with Cam Akers' agent in hopes he'll play for them again this season, per sources.

Akers has been inactive the past two games for what the team called personal reasons. Pelissero included in his tweet that the Rams turned down multiple offers for Akers before Tuesday's trade deadline. This will only further muddy the Rams RB situation. Henderson, Brown and Rivers have been getting work to this point but no one has stood out. Williams is poised to return and could end up the one having some fantasy value, but right now this is a situation to stay away from unless we get more clarity.
