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.

The Rams signed RB Darrell Henderson to the practice squad. They also signed Royce Freeman to the active roster.

Freeman will likely split time with Evans this week, who is rumored to be the starter in Week 7 with Williams unlikely to play and Rivers out. Henderson could stick around for a while as Rivers is expected to miss 4-5 weeks and could be an IR candidate. The Rams are hoping Williams misses a week at most so there could be more RB shuffling over the next week in LA.

If Kyren Williams can't play against the Steelers, rookie sixth-round pick Zach Evans will likely get the start at running back.

"Obviously you saw Zach Evans get the first carries," McVay said.

McVay said the Rams are still "working through" the plan without Williams and Rivers, the story said. The Rams also have Freeman on their practice squad and he'll likely be involved against the Steelers. According to the story, McVay added there are different things the team is working through right now. The Rams could also make a move and bring in another RB with Rivers expected to miss multiple weeks.

The MRI results for backup Ronnie Rivers were not as promising. He has a Grade 3 PCL sprain and is out 4-5 weeks.

The story said an IR stint is probably likely for Rivers. As we stated in an earlier report, the Rams are possibly looking at an RB group of Freeman and Evans for at least Week 7.

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.

Kyren Williams out-touched Cam Akers 14 to 11 until the Rams took a 24-13 lead.

Our very own John Daigle also pointed out Akers recorded 11 touches (all carries) to Kyren's 1 over the last 9:09 of the fourth quarter to ice the game. Williams ran 30 routes (73%) to Akers' 4 (10%). Williams could be one of the bigger fantasy-related stories of Week 1, at least at the running back position. Williams finished with a rushing line of 15-52-2 while Akers ended with 22 carries and just 29 yards before adding a TD to help owners salvage some fantasy production. Williams will likely be a heavily-targeted free agent pick up this week in your league.

Rams are bringing back veteran running back Sony Michel. It’s a one-year deal.

While this may not seem like that big of a deal, this could turn out as bad news for Akers' between-the-20s and goalline ceiling. Michel could also be non-factor training camp release.

At the least, this probably puts a halt on Zach Evans as a late-round dart throw until we find out more details about the contract.
