Will Todd Gurley get much rest without reliable relief in Malcolm Brown?

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams had many reasons to celebrate.

An NFC West title in hand, a playoff berth earned and another box checked on the way to their ultimate goal.

Yet as teammates and coaches posed for position-group photos inside the visitors locker room at Ford Field following a Week 13 victory over the Detroit Lions, Todd Gurley couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment.

Missing from action and unable to commemorate the division-clinching win was Malcolm Brown, Gurley's trusted backup the past three seasons.
