Rams' Kyren Williams: Expected to return punts
Williams is expected to operate as the Rams' punt returner to open the 2024 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Williams is coming off of a rather productive second professional season, registering 1,144 yards and 12 touchdowns on 228 carries while also adding 32 catches for 206 yards and three more scores over 12 contests in 2023. In regards to him operating as a punt returner in 2024, head coach Sean McVay believes that having the ball in the running back's hands more often is a good thing, saying that "it's another opportunity for him to get touches and impact the game." Williams is competing with rookie Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers for touches out of the backfield with Los Angeles this season, though Williams currently is the clear-cut No. 1 option for the team.
