The Los Angeles Rams have struggled against the pass this season but Darious Williams seems close to returning. On Wednesday, Williams was designated to return from injured reserve, suiting up and practicing for the first time this season.
Larrell Murchison also returned to practice but he hasn’t been designated to return yet.
The Rams will still need to activate Williams before he’s eligible to play, but the fact that they’ve already designated him to return suggests he could play as early as this Sunday against the Packers.
How the Rams manage their secondary when Williams returns is another question. Tre’Davious White is struggling badly but benching the veteran will be difficult. Quentin Lake is playing well in the slot so moving Cobie Durant there and keeping Williams on the outside may not be an option, either.
LA Rams Roster Moves:
• Returned to Practice DT Larrell Murchison, CB Darious Williams
• Designated for Return CB Darious Williams
• Signed to Practice Squad DB Cam Lampkin
