Rams looking to limit Kyren Williams' workload in return Sunday
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) will be on a snap count in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals, per head coach Sean McVay.
What It Means:
Williams is returning from injured reserve and a five-week absence on Sunday. "We definitely want to mindful of taking some snaps off him," McVay said. Williams averaged 18.3 touches before injuring his ankle in Week 6, but the Rams are going to reel him back for at least one game. Royce Freeman is expected to be the primary backup behind Williams.
