NASHVILLE, TENN. • The Rams’ most ffective offensive weapon against Tennessee was a player who won’t be seen when the regular season starts until October.
Running back Trey Watts, a second-year player out of Tulsa, found running room where seemingly no other Ram could Sunday at Nissan Stadium. Although he didn’t see action in the first half, Watts rushed five times for 50 yards in the third quarter alone, including an 18-yard gain.
He also caught a screen pass and took it 33 yards before he was brought down. He played a few downs in the fourth quarter before giving way to rookie Malcolm Brown, finishing with six carries for 53 yards and three catches for 46 yards.
