After two injury-marred seasons, Williams changed his approach and played in every game in 2024, setting career highs in carries, rushing yards and touchdowns
Rams running back Kyren Williams high-steps his way into the end zone for a touchdown during the first quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 24, 2024, at SoFi Stadium. LOS ANGELES — Kyren Williams knows what the narrative was about him after dealing with injuries in his first two NFL seasons. He knows what the narrative is about running backs in general in recent years, that the position wears down players that makes them difficult investments.
Which means Williams finishes the 2024 season with career highs in carries , ground yards and total touchdowns , not to mention 34 receptions on 40 targets. He played 86.7% of the Rams’ 1,023 snaps through the first 16 games of the season. A good deal of injuries come down to luck. Williams’ broken foot and high ankle sprain as a rookie weren’t a result of bad preparation. Neither was his ankle sprain during his breakout 2023 season, nor the broken hand he suffered in the wild-card loss to the Lions. When big, strong bodies hit each other at high speeds, injuries happen.
