Star running back Todd Gurley had 25 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 36 yards in a Rams victory. Does this indicate a change in his knee health? Not necessarily. Given his arthritic knee, this type of output every week could lead to more symptoms in his knee. Given his load management in the first half of the season, his knee should be in a good spot for the home stretch and that is the reason the Rams had been resting him. Given the Rams faltering offense and the fact Los Angeles is heading towards crunch time in terms of their playoff chances, the coaching decision for increased usage make sense. If his knee responds well the Rams could choose to ride Gurley to a playoff run.
