Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley to See Limited Action Against Kansas City Chiefs

Todd Gurley will see limited action for the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

After an impressive rookie season and proving his previously torn ACL was no longer an issue, expectations are high for Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley heading into his second NFL season. In fact, many believe Gurley has the potential to take home the rushing title in 2016 assuming he stays healthy and after sitting out the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys, it looks like Rams fans will get their first glimpse of the former first-round pick on Saturday.

Gurley is expected to play one or two series against the Kansas City Chiefs–which is a common move in the preseason since most teams don’t want to risk injury to their star players. Even though he could have easily played against the Cowboys, Gurley was inactive for the game in a move that was described as a “healthy scratch” by the team.

Gurley to play "maybe a series, maybe two" Saturday. Would be first preseason action of his career, of course.

As much as the Rams would prefer to just rest their star running back in the preseason, the last thing they want to see happen is Gurley enter his second season rusty from lack of in-game action. Gurley was arguably the only bright star of the Rams’ offense during his rookie season and fantasy football owners with the No. 1 pick will have to strongly consider selecting him.
