The Rams’ backfield will reportedly carry on without its anchor for the foreseeable future after placing running back Kyren Williams on injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.
Williams, 23, was already slated to miss the Rams’ Week 7 game against the Steelers, and will now miss at least the next four games due to an ankle injury. Los Angeles will promote veteran Darrell Henderson from the practice squad to help fill the void.
Saturday’s update deals a devastating blow to the Rams’ lineup (and fantasy football managers) following a week where Williams missed every practice with an ankle sprain he sustained in his career-best outing in Week 6.
