Healthy scratch for TNF Rivers (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Thursday's game against the Raiders.

Impact The 23-year-old rookie was signed from the practice squad ahead of the Rams' Week 13 loss to Kansas City, slotting in as the third-string running back behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams. However, Rivers exclusively played on special teams over the last two games, and he'll be replaced by Malcolm Brown, who was elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's game. Rivers' next opportunity to suit up will come against the Packers on Monday, Dec. 19.

Signed to active roster The Rams signed Rivers to their active roster Saturday.

Impact Rivers has gone back and forth between the practice squad and the active roster this season, and he's suited up in three games with the Rams, tallying nine carries for 21 yards and five catches for 29 yards. His signing to the active roster comes four days after Los Angeles waived former lead back Darrell Henderson. Rivers will likely work as the Rams' No. 3 ball carrier behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams on Sunday against Kansas City.

Returns to practice squad Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Rivers was elevated from the practice squad for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's 16-13 loss to Tampa Bay. However, the rookie running back did not record a rush for the first time during this span, as played just four special-teams snaps Week 9. Rivers has totaled nine rushes for 21 yards and five receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards in 2022, and he'll now require a full spot on the active roster in order to suit up for the Rams' moving forward this season.

Rejoins active roster Rivers was elevated from the Rams' practice squad Saturday.

Impact Perhaps more crucially, rookie running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was not activated off injured reserve, meaning Rivers and Darrell Henderson are expected to operate as the top options out of the backfield come Sunday. Head coach Sean McVay didn't rule out the possibility of Cam Akers making his return after a two-game absence due to personal reasons, but even if Akers were to be active, it seems entirely possible the combo of Rivers and Henderson will continue to operate at the top of the depth chart given the former's public spats with the team. Rivers carried the ball eight times for 21 yards and operated as the backfield's top pass catcher (4-15) in last week's loss to the 49ers.

Reverts to practice squad Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact With Cam Akers (personal) out and Darrell Henderson dealing with an illness, Rivers was elevated to the active roster and played a sizable role against the 49ers. Rivers was barley outsnapped by Henderson 24-21, but the former led the team in rushing attempts (eight) and rushing yards (21) while securing all four of his targets for 15 yards. Given the Rams opted to use the undrafted rookie out of Fresno State ahead of Malcolm Brown in Week 8, it seems likely that Rivers will get another elevation in Week 9, regardless of Henderson and Akers' statuses.

Leads team in carries Rivers had eight carries for 21 yards and secured all four of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Fresh off a practice squad promotion Saturday, the undrafted rookie out of Fresno State handled more carries than Malcolm Brown or Darrell Henderson, who had been limited in practice due to an illness, while Cam Akers (personal) was again inactive. Though Rivers wasn't efficient in the second appearance of his NFL career, he's worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats due to the unsettled nature of Los Angeles' backfield. Rivers is set to shift back to the practice squad Monday, but another elevation to the gameday roster in Week 9 is possible.

Suiting up vs. San Francisco The Rams activated Rivers from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers.

Impact It will be the second game this season Rivers is active for the Rams. After Week 8, the rookie UDFA out of Fresno State will only be eligible for one more elevation from the practice squad before he would need to be signed to the team's 53-man roster in order to play.

Shifts back to practice squad Rivers reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Rivers was called up on game day for the first time since joining the Rams' practice squad Sept. 15, as running back Cam Akers (personal) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's win over Carolina. While the undrafted rookie played just three of the team's 65 offensive snaps, he still recorded one carry for no gain to go along with one catch (on one target) for 14 yards. Rivers could stand to see another elevation from the practice squad if Akers remains out for Los Angeles' next game against San Francisco on Sunday, Oct. 30.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays just three snaps Rivers caught his lone target for 14 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 24-10 win versus the Panthers.

Impact Rivers was called on to provide depth for Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown with Cam Akers (personal) out, and while he only saw the field for three snaps on offense in his NFL debut, he was able to net a rush (for no gain) and a reception out of them. The catch in particular was a big boon for the Rams, as the rookie was able to break off a 14-yard gain in the red zone before Matt Gay tapped in a 21-yard field goal to tie the game. The Rams may use the bye week to address the running back position with outside help, but if they choose to hold pat, Rivers may see more work as a depth piece in future weeks.

Suiting up vs. Carolina The Rams elevated Rivers from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Impact Rivers will make his NFL debut in Week 6 with regular starting running back Cam Akers (personal) out. The rookie is small (5-foot-9, 195 pounds) and slow (4.60-second 40) by NFL standards, but he showed some ability as a pass catcher at Fresno State.
