Kyren Williams has handled a bigger workload than just about any running back in the NFL this season. His 316 carries rank third in the NFL and his 140 pass-blocking snaps are 46 more than any other player at his position.
So with the Los Angeles Rams locked in as the No. 3 or 4 seed in the NFC playoff bracket, Sean McVay is going to give his workhorse a well-deserved break.
Here’s the latest on Williams heading into the season finale against the Seattle Seahawks today.
Kyren Williams update
Williams will not play today against Seattle. McVay is choosing to rest him for this game, along with several other starters on offense. The running back has taken a beating this season with all the touches he’s received, so McVay is holding him out to keep him fresh for the playoffs.
Rams RB depth chart
With Williams resting today, rookie Blake Corum will have a heavy workload in the backfield. McVay said he’s excited to see Corum handle the starting role, while also giving Cody Schrader his first opportunities of the season, too.
Ronnie Rivers also figures to get some work in today’s finale, too.
