The Los Angeles Rams made an expected move on Wednesday by placing running back Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve. He sprained his PCL on Sunday in the team’s win over the Arizona Cardinals and is expected to be out 4-5 weeks.
By being placed on IR he’s required to miss at least four games. With the Rams having their bye in Week 10, the earliest he could return is Week 12.
As for Kyren Williams, Sean McVay said the team is still deciding whether to put him on IR, too. At the very least, he’s been ruled out for this week against the Steelers and it remains to be seen how long he’ll be sidelined.
Williams sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter and is expected to miss multiple weeks, but it sounds like IR is still a possibility.
Rams RB Ronnie Rivers will be placed on IR, and Kyren Williams could be placed on IR, but Rams are still having those conversations, Sean McVay says
