KYREN WILLIAMS NEWS

Not expected to play this week Coach Sean McVay suggested Friday (ankle) that Williams won't be activated for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Impact Williams was designated Wednesday to return from injured reserve, opening a 21-day window for the Rams to activate him or put him back on IR for the rest of the season. They may bring him back as soon as Week 9 at Tampa Bay, as the current backfield situation is less than optimal with Cam Akers still sidelined for non-injury reasons and a candidate to be traded. Darrell Henderson (illness) and Malcolm Brown figure to lead the way Sunday against the Niners.

Back at practice Wednesday The Rams designated Williams (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Williams suffered a high-ankle sprain on his only snap Week 1 and has been sidelined in the meantime. L.A. now has a 21-day window to evaluate the rookie fifth-round pick and determine when (or if) a return to action is possible. If he gets back on the active roster, Williams may be able to mix into the backfield behind Darrell Henderson with Cam Akers' (personal) status with the team up in the air.

Impact Williams picked up a high-ankle sprain during the season opener and has been sidelined since. He was given a 6-to-8-week return timetable, so he appears to be right on track, though McVay's comments were far from definitive. Once Williams returns to practice, he'll have a 21-day period to be added to the active roster, or he'll revert back to IR for the remainder of the season.

Rams RB Kyren Williams: 'Good Progress' Toward Returning? Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Kyren Williams was placed on injured reserve after an ankle injury in the season opener.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Ready to roll Williams (foot) will play in the Rams' third preseason game against the Bengals on Saturday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams will also compete in joint practices as he ramps up his workload in his recovery from the broken foot he suffered during OTAs. Selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Williams is expected to be competing with Jake Funk for the No. 3 spot on the Rams' running back depth chart.

Won't play Friday Williams won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Texans, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams was activated from the PUP list last week, and it appears the team is exercising caution as he makes his way back from a broken foot he suffered in the offseason. The Rams traded up in the fifth round to select the 21-year-old running back for his ability as a pass catcher. With both Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson sidelined with soft-tissue injuries, both Williams and Jake Funk have received valuable practice reps this week. Coach Sean McVay said the rookie has done "a really good job," and there's a chance that he could play against the Bengals in Week 3 of the preseason. In the meantime, Williams and Funk will compete for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart for the 2022 campaign.

Impact Williams came off the PUP list last week, and with the Rams' top two backs sidelined for the time being, he'll have a chance to get some valuable practice reps in the coming days and is a candidate to make his preseason debut Friday against the Texans. For now, there's nothing to suggest that Akers or Henderson are in danger of missing regular-season action, but until one or both are back on the field, Williams and Funk will have an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 spot on the team's backfield depth chart ahead of Week 1.

Sean McVay 'Hasn't Determined' if Rams' Rookie RB Kyren Williams Will Play in Preseason McVay offered an update on the status of Williams playing in the preseason.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Status for Friday unceratin Williams' (foot) status for Friday's preseason game against the Texans has yet to be determined.

Impact The Rams activated Williams from the PUP list last Monday, but he didn't appear in the preseason opener. Initially, Los Angeles didn't expect the running back to return to full practices until Week 3 of the preseason, so it's possible they'll opt to keep him sidelined from game action until then. Regardless, it doesn't appear like he suffered a setback, so there shouldn't be too much concern if he misses another exhibition contest.

Activated from PUP The Rams activated Williams (foot) from the active/PUP list Monday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This would seem to put the rookie ahead of schedule, with coach Sean McVay previously having said that Williams was expected to return to practice around the Rams' third preseason game. They haven't even played their first, and while he'll likely be eased into drills before actually practicing, this at least gives Williams a better shot to be ready for the preseason finale and/or Week 1. Earning a role is another matter altogether for the fifth-round pick, with the broken foot suffered in OTAs robbing him of most of his chances to make an impression. Williams thus seems most likely to start off at the bottom of the depth chart, or possibly even the practice squad once the regular season begins.

On track for preseason Williams (foot) has a chance to make an appearance late in the preseason, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact The rookie back is recovering from a broken foot he suffered during OTAs, and while he can't participate in drills at the moment because he's on the active/PUP list, he has been keeping tabs on his position group and getting extra feedback from Cam Akers, who returned from a torn Achilles of his own last season. Akers noted, "He'll be back on the field in a couple weeks, I think," which is another positive affirmation that Williams should return to the field in time for preseason action.

Begins camp on PUP list The Rams will place Williams (foot) on the active/PUP list to open training camp, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Impact Williams is in the midst of his recovery from a broken foot suffered in early June during L.A.'s offseason program. At the time, coach Sean McVay told Cameron DeSilva of USA Today that the rookie fifth-round pick would be sidelined until the early portion of training camp, which starts for the Rams on Saturday. Williams is eligible to practice and take part in preseason action at any point, so once he's healthy he'll vie for slotting behind the team's top running backs Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson.
