The last two weeks, the Rams have shifted some snaps over to backup running back Blake Corum, both to utilize the explosiveness that the second-year player brings to the offense but also to take some of the burden off of lead back Kyren Williams.
Williams, who in August signed a contract extension tying him to the Rams through 2028 , was on the field for 85% and 88% of the snaps each of the past two seasons. That was despite being on injured reserve for four games in 2023.
