Rams Head Coach Sean McVay believes Kyren Williams will play against the Cardinals on Sunday

Kyren Williams is on his way back to the Rams’ backfield on Sundays. McVay told reporters on Wednesday that he believes Williams will play this weekend against the Cardinals, which would be his first game since injuring his ankle in Week 1.

“I think there’s a good chance he’ll be up this week,” McVay said.

Williams was injured on his only special teams snap of the game and never saw action on offense.

With the Rams’ backfield a jumbled mess right now, Williams figures to play a key role in the rotation alongside Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr.

This year, the Rams traded up to take Williams in the fifth round of the draft. He missed most of the summer with a broken foot before injuring his ankle against the Bills in the season opener.

Williams was activated from injured reserve two weeks ago, so the Rams have one week to activate him and add him to the roster.
