The Los Angeles Rams will be without one of their best offensive players this season for at least the next four games. The Rams have had several offensive weapons battling injury in the early season. Cooper Kupp finally returned to action in Week 5 from his hamstring injury.
Wide receiver Ben Skowronek was listed as questionable for the Rams’ contest against the Steelers in Week 7 due to an Achilles injury. Running back Kyren Williams was ruled out against the Steelers due to an ankle injury.
The Los Angeles Rams Place RB on IR
According to Adam Schefter, the Rams placed Williams on injured reserve Saturday. He will be unable to play for the Rams again until the the Arizona Cardinals matchup in Week 12.
Rams are placing RB Kyren Williams on injured reserve today due to his ankle injury, sidelining him at least four games, per sources. Williams now will be eligible to return in Week 12 at Arizona.

Williams has been a key piece of the Rams offense this season. He has 456 rushing yards on 97 carries. He has six rushing touchdowns for the Rams in 2023. That’s an unfortunate injury for a second-year running back who was on pace for a 1,000-yard rushing season.
Per Schefter, the Rams promoted Darrell Henderson off the practice squad when they placed Williams on injured reserve. Henderson should play the Steelers in Week 7.
In their accompanying roster move, the Rams promoted RB Darrell Henderson off their practice squad and he is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers. https://t.co/W9fhAZ1VMs
