Rams running back Ronnie Rivers, who has been on IR, has been designated to return to practice per team.

Rivers last played in Week 6 and was the main backup to Williams. When both backs landed on IR, the Rams went on an RB shopping spree and brought in the likes of Darrell Henderson, Freeman and Myles Gaskin. The team has since cut Henderson and Gaskin leaving Freeman as the main backup to Williams. A possible Rivers return could put him back in the RB2 spot, but that remains to be seen.

The Rams held on for a 28-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday, but the final margin of victory likely would have been a good deal larger if not for a pair of miscues by running back Kyren Williams.

“I love the way that he finished the game out,” HC Sean McVay said, via the team’s website. “It’s always about your response and so he’ll learn from it and he’s the type of guy that has the right football character, the right mindset and mentality to be able to use these things as learning ops push forward in a positive way. And he still made big time contributions to this game in a positive way.”

When it was over, McVay said he has “a lot of confidence” in Williams despite the fumbles.

Williams lost a fumble inside the Commanders’ 10-yard-line early in the second quarter and then lost another one in Washington territory with less than two minutes to go in the first half. There are times when coaches would bench a player who doubled up on giveaways, but McVay did not go that route, the story pointed out. Williams ended up running 27 times for 152 yards and a touchdown in a win that moved the Rams into playoff position in the NFC. The Rams have given Williams a majority of the workload when healthy, something that's been a rarity in the NFL as of late. It's given Williams a ton of fantasy value as a result, making him a clear RB1 option almost every week.

The Rams activated running back Kyren Williams from injured reserve.

Williams is eligible and is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Williams had been out with an ankle injury suffered October 15 against the Cardinals. Williams is immediately back to being an RB1 option on our board heading into a very nice matchup against Arizona. Williams rushed 20 times for 158 yards and a touchdown against Arizona before the injury.

If Williams is active he should immediately return to taking over this backfield, as it has turned into a liability since his departure.

The Rams announced on Tuesday that they have waived Henderson off of their roster.

Henderson was signed to the active roster early this month and he ran 46 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns in four appearances. He also caught 10 passes for 103 yards. But Williams is expected to be back for Week 12 and it looks like the Rams will go with Freeman as the RB2, at least until Rivers comes off the IR.

Sean McVay said the Rams will get RB Kyren Williams back against the Cardinals.

Williams has been on IR with an ankle injury, but because of the bye it's been five weeks since he was hurt. Williams should be ready to go in a good matchup in Week 12. With Rivers still on IR, the backup duties will go to either Henderson or Freeman or a combination of both. It may not be fair to expect a huge workload from Williams his first week back in the fold, but he should at least have higher-end RB2 value vs. the Cardinals.

Sean McVay said he expects RB Kyren Williams to return after Williams comes off of Injured Reserve.

It feels like Williams has been gone forever, but he'll have to sit out Week 11 for his fourth game after the team's bye this week. Williams is dealing with an ankle injury but it looks like he'll be ready to go when he's back for Week 12, a game at the Cardinals.

The Rams are placing RB Kyren Williams on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

Williams will miss at least four games as a result. He'll be eligible to return for Week 12 against the Cardinals -- the Rams have their bye in Week 10. Rookie Zach Evans could stand to lead the Rams' backfield in Williams' absence with Royce Freeman, Myles Gaskin and Darrell Henderson (who was promoted from the practice squad) also in the mix. The Steelers are a nice matchup for the Rams running backs, but the picture could get muddy for fantasy purposes. Evans is an RB3 this week while Freeman and Henderson are deeper options.

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.

As Freeman and Gaskin are either freshly off the practice squad, or newly signed, the backfield should be all Zach Evans' for the short-term, making him one of the best adds if your waivers haven't run yet.

The Rams are adding another running back to help offset the injuries to Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers.

Los Angeles is signing Myles Gaskin off of the Vikings’ practice squad, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

It's been reported Evans will get the start in Week 7, assuming Williams is out with the ankle injury. Freeman was signed from the practice squad and will likely get work as well. The Rams have been busy building up their RBs, they also signed old friend Henderson today to the practice squad. Williams is expected to miss this week but Rivers could end up on IR and miss 4-5 weeks according to reports.
