Inactive again Sunday Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Seattle, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunter will take a seat for the second straight week after playing 13 snaps on special teams in the Rams' win over the Panthers in the wild-card round. Ronnie Rivers will serve as the team's No. 3 option at running back behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum versus the Seahawks.

Only used on special teams Hunter recorded 22 snaps on special teams over five games during the 2025 regular season.

Impact A fourth-round pick out of Auburn, Hunter's progress was stalled by the emergence of Blake Corum as the complement to veteran Kyren Williams in the Rams' backfield. The duo combined for a 404-1,998-16 rushing line over the 2025 campaign, leaving little room for Hunter or Ronnie Rivers to produce. Corum and Williams are signed through 2028 and 2029 respectively, meaning Hunter is unlikely to see much improvement in his situation in 2026, even with Rivers possibly leaving as an unrestricted free agent.

Healthy inactive for London game Hunter (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Impact After being inactive for the Rams' season-opening win over the Texans, Hunter had suited up for each of Los Angeles' subsequent five games, but the rookie running back had been used exclusively on special teams. At least for one week, Hunter appears to have lost out on that meager role, as practice-squad call-up Ronnie Rivers will be active as depth behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum in addition to taking on Hunter's responsibilities on special teams.

Makes debut on special teams Hunter logged six snaps on special teams during Sunday's 33-19 win against the Titans.

Impact Hunter made his regular-season debut Sunday after being a healthy scratch in Week 1, but never got an opportunity to take the field on offense. Kyren Williams (17-66-0) and Blake Corum (5-44-1) handled the entire rushing load for the Rams, and given head coach Sean McVay's proclivity to feed Williams the vast majority of touches at running back over the past few seasons, Hunter will likely find it hard to make an impact this year barring an injury ahead of him on the depth chart.

Auburn football has solid depth in its running back room Auburn Wire's Phillip Jordan believes the question of whether Jarquez Hunter can be replaced was answered on Saturday against Ball State.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • USATODAY.COM

Little running room Saturday Hunter carried the ball seven times for 14 yards in Saturday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Browns.

Impact The 2025 fourth-round pick got the start with both Kyren Williams and Blake Corum held out of the Rams' exhibition finale, and Hunter worked the team's first three drives before handing the backfield over to Cody Schrader. Hunter's role as the No. 3 RB seems secure, but the rookie is unlikely to see a lot of action in the regular season barring injuries ahead of him -- Corum, a third-round pick last year, saw only 65 touches over 17 games in his first NFL campaign.
