In what came as a surprise to many on Saturday during Los Angeles Rams training camp, running back Sony Michel announced his retirement from the NFL. The Rams just signed Michel last month towards the end of OTAs. Prior to Saturday’s practice, Michel met with coach Sean McVay to let him know that he would be retiring.
This leaves the Rams with four running backs on the roster that includes Cam Akers, Kyren Williams, Zach Evans, and Ronnie Rivers. Signing a running back isn’t necessarily needed, but adding a veteran to the group wouldn’t hurt either.
