The Los Angeles Rams opted to rest starting running back Kyren Williams in their season finale against the Seattle Seahawks, allowing Blake Corum to showcase his abilities as the starting running back. However, Corum’s playing time was cut short due to a forearm injury sustained in the second quarter.
The 2024 third-round rookie took two carries for a total of 10 yards, as well as, a reception on his only target for 12 yards before the injury.

The exact mechanism of the injury remains unclear, but it is possible that Corum sustained the injury on his reception, during which he collided with Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen along the sideline. Running back Ronnie Rivers was in on the very next play.
Shortly after the game, head coach Sean McVay announced that Corum broke his forearm and will be out for the remainder of the Rams games going forward.
Corum took 57 carries for 197 yards in his role as the backup behind Williams this season.
The Rams also have Ronnie Rivers and Cody Schrader on the roster at the position. Rivers picked up 48 yards on 12 carries in this game and served as Williams’s backup for several games last season. He picked up 129 yards on 32 carries in that year.
