NFL Rumors: LA Rams RB Todd Gurley return in question

How healthy is Gurley?

That limited usage set reporters seeking a cause.  Eventually, a narrative began to develop, a narrative suggesting that Gurley’s knees were more injured than originally feared.

The news shocked LA Rams fans. In fact, the news shocked NFL fans everywhere.  Arthritis is something sports fans and reporters were hearing for the first time. Fans asked why wasn’t this reported via NFL injury reports.  Others questioned the Rams transparency about Gurley’s status. Still others outright rejected the report as fiction.  After all, arthritis was new and scary.  While it did offer a completely logical explanation for why Anderson,and not Gurley, starred for the Rams in the NFL playoffs.

The ramifications of arthritis afflicting a young star running back like Todd Gurley seemed far too harsh to accept without pushback. That narrative, regardless of the reputation of anyone first reporting upon the notion, needed to be confirmed by team sources.
