After an impressive rookie season, expectations are high for Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley in 2016 and many consider him an early favorite to take home the rushing title. With all of the hype surrounding the former first-round pick, it appears the Rams are playing it safe during the preseason after choosing to rest Gurley in the opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Los Angeles decided to make Gurley inactive for Saturday’s game as the team is considering the move a “healthy scratch”–so there’s no reason for Rams fans to hit the panic button over their beloved running back.
