Ronnie Rivers - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Reclaims No. 2 role Rivers rushed six times for 20 yards during Thursday's 30-22 victory against the Saints.

Impact Royce Freeman's time as the primary backup to Kyren Williams came to an abrupt end against New Orleans, as Freeman only saw the field on special teams, while Rivers took 15 snaps on offense to the 55 of Williams. Rivers was inefficient as a runner save for a 10-yard scamper to end the third quarter, but the second-year back has clearly returned to a backup role that could pay big dividends if Williams -- who briefly left the game after taking a big hit in the third quarter -- were to miss time down the stretch.

Rams Activate Ronnie Rivers For Saints Matchup The Los Angeles Rams are getting some reinforcements in the running game vs. the New Orleans Saints

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

No designation for TNF, still on IR Rivers (knee) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Saints, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Impact Since the team designated him for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Rivers managed back-to-back full walkthroughs to cap Week 16 prep. If he's activated by 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, he'll resume a reserve role out of L.A.'s backfield against New Orleans along with Royce Freeman behind starter Kyren Williams. In six appearances this season, Rivers averaged 4.4 yards on his 13 carries and gathered in all four targets for 18 yards.

Headed for IR The Rams placed Rivers (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Rivers will be out for at least four games, and with the Rams on bye Week 10, he won't be eligible to return from IR any earlier than Nov. 26 against the Cardinals. He's dealing with a PCL injury, while fellow running back Kyren Williams has an ankle injury and could still make it back before the team's Week 10 bye. At least for Sunday's game against the Steelers, the Rams appear set to proceed with a backfield of Zach Evans, Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin.

Injuries for RBs Kyren Williams, Ronnie Rivers put damper on Rams' breakthrough ground game

Rams running backs Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers are likely to miss games after getting hurt late in Los Angeles’ 26-9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • Associated Press

Expected to miss 4-5 weeks Rivers is expected to be sidelined 4-to-5 weeks with a sprained PCL in his knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact A trip to injured reserve could be in Rivers' near future. The Rams' No. 2 running back, Rivers has rushed 13 times for 57 scoreless yards this season and has caught all four of his targets for 18 yards. With Rivers and Kyren Williams (ankle) banged up, rookie Zach Evans and veteran Royce Freeman could handle backfield duties Week 7 against the Steelers.

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.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
