THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams have matched the Detroit Lions' offer sheet for running back Malcolm Brown, the Rams announced Friday.
The Lions' offer sheet included a two-year deal, according to the Rams, so Brown will remain under contract through the 2020 season.
The Rams had placed an original-round tender on Brown, who they acquired as an undrafted free agent in 2015.
Brown has served as Todd Gurley's trusted backup the last two seasons and as a standout on special teams.
Last season, Brown rushed for 212 yards in 43 carries and caught five passes for 52 yards and a touchdown before he suffered a clavicle injury in Week 13 against the Lions that sent him to injured reserve.
