Rams sign rookie RB Ronnie Rivers to practice squad

Kyren Williams unfortunately suffered a high ankle sprain that landed him on injured reserve, leaving the Rams with just three healthy running backs on the 53-man roster. They did have Trey Ragas on the practice squad, but he’s seemingly hurt, too.

And so the team made a couple of moves on its practice squad, bolstering the running back depth. The Rams placed Ragas on the injured list and signed Ronnie Perkins to the practice squad, so they now have four available running backs.
