Blake Corum Injury News & Updates

Corum rushed eight times for 10 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.

Corum has recorded at least nine touches in each of the past four games, but he isn't a threat to Kyren Williams' spot atop the running back depth chart. Williams mustered 96 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and two targets Sunday. Corum will likely continue to fill a change-of-pace role in Week 12 against the Buccaneers.

Corum took 13 carries for 56 yards without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco.

Corum received double-digit touches for the third game in a row as the Rams' offense continued to toy with opposing defenses. Kyren Williams (14-73-2) still led the Rams' backfield in production while maintaining his elite fantasy status, but Corum has quietly carved out a consistent change-of-pace role during Los Angeles' hot stretch of play. With just one touchdown over nine appearances, the talented backup's recent increase in playing time only benefits those in deeper formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Seahawks.

Corum recorded 13 rushes for 58 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

Corum logged a season-high 13 carries, 10 of which came in the second half while the Rams were up multiple scores. However, his longest rush came midway through the second quarter, when he ripped off a 21-yard rush off right end. Corum remains the clear backup to Kyren Williams, though his weekly volume is dependent on game script, making him difficult to trust as a starting fantasy option.

Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.

Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield. The 2024 third-round pick was averaging 4.8 rushing attempts per game prior to Week 7's outburst, so managers should keep expectations in check coming out of the Rams' upcoming bye week.

Corum (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Corum progressed from no activity Wednesday to a limited session Thursday and eventually all on-field work Friday, and his lack of Week 7 designation implies his ankle injury isn't much of a concern. Working as L.A.'s No. 2 RB behind Kyren Williams this season, Corum's snap share has ranged from nine to 30 percent on a weekly basis, resulting in 5.3 touches for 27.5 yards from scrimmage per game to go with one rushing TD in six contests.

Corum (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

This is a step in the right direction for Corum, who didn't practice Wednesday after sustaining an ankle injury in the Rams' Week 6 win over the Ravens. How Corum fares in practice Friday will go a long way in determining his ability to suit up Sunday morning against the Jaguars in London. Even if Corum plays, it would be in a reserve role behind Kyren Williams.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Corum (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Corum is considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury he sustained during Los Angeles' win over Baltimore in Week 6. He was able to retake the field versus the Ravens after being evaluated, but Corum's status for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars nonetheless looks uncertain, and figures to be reliant on the extent of his activity at practice Thursday and Friday. If Corum misses any time, rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter will get a chance to handle added reserve opportunities behind Kyren Williams.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Corum (ankle) is day-to-day despite having been cleared to retake the field during Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Corum briefly exited Sunday's win in the second quarter due to an ankle injury and was initially labeled as questionable, but he managed to return to action after halftime and finish the day with five carries for 23 yards. One of those carries came after his return. The second-year pro doesn't have clean bill of health yet, but the fact that he was able to get back in action versus the Ravens lends optimism to the notion that he'll be able to gain clearance to play Week 7 against the Jaguars and handle his usual No. 2 role behind Kyren Williams. Rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter would benefit from increased opportunities if Corum were to miss any time.

Corum (ankle) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens to begin the second half, Erin Andrew of Fox Sports reports.

Though he didn't log a carry or draw a target on the Rams' first possession to begin the third quarter that culminated in a Kyren Williams three-yard touchdown run, Corum looks like he's available to play through the ankle injury that forced him to the locker room in the second quarter. Prior to leaving the sideline to receive treatment, Corum carried four times for 14 yards in the first half.

Corum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury.

Corum was taken to the locker room in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The second-year player had carried four times for 14 yards prior to exiting the contest. If Corum is ruled out for the remainder of the game, rookie fourth-round Jarquez Hunter would be next up for backup snaps behind starting running back Kyren Williams.

Corum rushed once for 13 yards and failed to secure either of his two targets during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Corum's six snaps on offense represents the first time this season Corum has failed to crack the double-digit marker. Kyren Williams returned to fully dominating the time share, playing in 62 snaps and garnering a total of 22 touches through the game. Williams did have a costly fumble late in the fourth quarter and was stuffed on fourth-and-1 to end the game in overtime, but the momentum clearly seems to be shifting towards Williams reverting to his monstrous usage of last season. A soft Baltimore defense leading the league in points allowed is up next in Week 6, but Corum's steep decline in usage this week will make him difficult to trust in fantasy leagues.

Corum rushed nine times for 21 yards and caught two of four targets for a loss of five yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Indianapolis.

Kyren Williams handled the bulk of backfield touches for Los Angeles, finishing with 94 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches. Corum still saw his fair share of touches, but he failed to produce much with his change-of-pace opportunities. The nine carries marked a new high for the Michigan product through four games, but that's about the only positive that can be taken away from his fantasy performance. Corum doesn't provide enough upside in his current backup role to warrant starting consideration against the 49ers on Thursday.

Corum recorded eight rushes for 53 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He also returned five kicks for 115 yards.

Corum mixed in with Kyren Williams for most of the first half to match a career-high with eight carries. Williams was still the clear lead back with 22 total touches, though Corum's role is expanding, and he looks to have earned the trust of the coaching staff to earn meaningful touches. Corum appears to be one of the top backup running back options around the league.

Corum rushed five times for 44 yards and a touchdown and returned three kicks for 80 yards during Sunday's 33-19 victory against the Titans.

Corum's first career touchdown in the NFL came on a one-yard rush, pushing his way into the end zone to solidify an already productive day for the former third-round pick. Corum picked up big yardage on most of his other runs, including a 15-yard scamper in the third quarter that set up a Davis Allen touchdown on the next play. Corum was on the field for 18 snaps on offense, a significant boost from last week's 10, and Kyren Williams struggled for the second straight week, managing just 66 yards rushing on 17 attempts. It'll be worth monitoring the snap counts of the duo as the season progresses, especially if Williams continues to be inefficient as a runner.

Corum rushed once for two yards and secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 14-9 victory against the Texans.

The second-year back started his 2025 campaign in a similar fashion to his role at the end of his rookie year, seeing the field for just ten snaps and making little impact on the game. Notably, Jarquez Hunter (coach's decision) was inactive for the game, while Cody Schrader was only used on special teams, leaving the backup role to Kyren Williams seemingly Corum's to lose. The Rams next contest is against a Titans squad that allowed 153 yards rushing to the Broncos in Week 1.

Corum recorded four rushes for 22 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.

Kyren Williams and all starters in the Rams' offense sat Saturday, leaving Corum as the first back on the field. He played only one series before giving way to rookie Jarquez Hunter, but Corum still appears to be the favorite to begin the season second on the depth chart.

Corum rushed nine times for 32 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for four yards in Saturday's 31-21 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Corum got the start with the Rams resting their first-stringers, and the 2024 third-round draft pick made the most of his opportunity. He capped the Rams' first two drives with touchdown runs of two and four yards. Rookie fourth-round draft pick Jarquez Hunter, who is competing with Corum for the second spot on the depth chart behind Kyren Williams, had 41 yards on 11 carries. Corum appears to be running slightly ahead of Hunter heading into the Rams' second preseason game against the Chargers next Saturday.

Corum (forearm) has been an active participant at OTAs, per the Rams' official site.

Corum suited up for all 17 regular-season games of his uneventful rookie campaign but missed both Los Angeles' playoff bouts due to a fractured forearm suffered Week 18. The 2024 third-round pick now seems back to full health, though heading into Year 2 he faces new competition from rookie fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter for the backup role behind Kyren Williams. As a rookie, Corum rushed just 58 times for 207 yards (3.6 YPC) while failing to reach the end zone, adding just seven catches (on eight targets) for 58 yards. Hunter boasts big-play speed that could make him a fitting complement to Williams, so Corum will need to show more this offseason to avoid being stuck in a negligible role again.

The Rams placed Corum (forearm) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Corum will be sidelined for the entirety of the Rams' playoff run after he fractured his forearm in Los Angeles' 30-25 loss to Seattle in Week 18. The rookie third-round pick out of Michigan played in all 17 regular-season games but saw limited action behind lead back Kyren Williams in 2024, finishing with 28 carries for 207 yards to go with seven catches for 58 yards and no touchdowns. He also had some involvement on the Rams' return units, bringing back seven kickoffs for 186 yards. With Corum sidelined for the playoffs, Ronnie Rivers will likely be tasked with playing a handful of snaps per game behind Williams.

Corum fractured his forearm in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Rams and will be sidelined for the entire postseason, coach Sean McVay said after the game, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Despite the Rams securing the No. 4 seed in the NFC at 10-7, Corum's rookie season comes to a close at the end of the regular season due to an injury that will keep him out at least through mid-February. A more concrete recovery timeline will likely be established in the coming days. The 2024 third-round draft pick rushed 58 times for 207 yards and tacked on seven catches for 58 yards (eight targets) as the backup to Kyren Williams. Ronnie Rivers is the top candidate to step into the second spot on the depth chart.

Corum was forced out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a forearm injury.

With Kyren Williams being rested along with several other key starters in Week 18, Corum appeared poised to see an expanded workload versus Seattle. However, the running back exited the game after logging just two carries (for 10 yards) and catching his only target for 12 yards. In his absence, Ronnie Rivers and Cody Schrader are available to handle the Rams' backfield duties.

Corum appears primed to handle an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, after head coach Sean McVay acknowledged Monday that the Rams are planning to rest key players such as Kyren Williams in the regular-season finale, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "There's a handful of guys that could come to mind immediately, but I'm excited about seeing Blake Corum get a heavy workload," McVay said, when speaking about the Rams' approach for Week 18. "I'm excited to see what Cody Schrader is about

Though they can secure the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win Sunday, the Rams are assured a home game in the wild-card round regardless of how Week 18 action shakes out. McVay suggested that the Rams are content to prioritize rest and injury avoidance to key players rather than going all in on moving up a spot in the standings, so Williams is an obvious candidate to be a healthy inactive for the contest or play only limited snaps. While Williams has handled a three-down workhorse role for each of the Rams' first 16 games, Corum has seen few opportunities, as the third-round rookie will head into Sunday's contest with a 56-197-0 rushing line and 6-46-0 receiving line for the season. The Rams are likely to sprinkle in Schrader and Ronnie Rivers into Sunday's game plan, but Corum appears most likely to lead the Los Angeles backfield in touches and could make for a useful lineup option in fantasy leagues that are still active in Week 18.

Corum rushed three times for negative four yards during Saturday's 13-9 victory against the Cardinals.

The rookie's role on offense has continually deteriorated over the past five weeks, with his three snaps on offense his lowest usage since he saw just a single offensive snap in Week 9 against the Seahawks. Corum was particularly ineffective against the Cardinals, with only one of his three rushing attempts netting positive yardage. If the Rams are able to clinch a playoff spot prior to their Week 18 contest against Seattle, however, Corum may see an expanded role in hopes of keeping Kyren Williams fresh and healthy for a playoff run.

Corum rushed five times for 14 yards during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets.

The rookie running back ripped off a 32-yard run in the second quarter, only to see it negated by a penalty on Hunter Long. Corum was left with his typical numbers otherwise, seeing just nine snaps on offense while Kyren Williams set a season high with 122 yards rushing on 23 attempts, including his 15th touchdown on the year. With the Rams looking to clinch a playoff spot next week, expect Corum's role to continue to remain limited in a Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals.

Corum had three carries for five yards and brought in two of three targets for 15 yards in the Rams' 12-6 win over the 49ers on Thursday night.

Kyren Williams logged 29 carries for the second time in four days, so there wasn't much left over for Corum on the ground after he'd recorded eight rush attempts in both of the previous two contests. The rookie did set new career highs in receptions and receiving yards, albeit with modest totals. Williams now will have some extra time to rest from the aforementioned 58-carry tally over a compact two-game period, so Corum is likely to remain in a clear complementary role during a Week 16 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 22.

Corum rushed the ball eight times for 34 yards in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills.

Corum's role in the offense remained elevated, as his eight rush attempts matched his highest mark of the season. However, he remains the clear backup to Kyren Williams, who saw 31 total touches in Sunday's win. That leaves Corum as valuable insurance to Williams, but he has very little standalone fantasy value for now.

Corum rushed eight times for 42 yards during Sunday's 21-14 victory against the Saints.

It was a day of career highs for Corum, as he was on the field for nearly a third of the Rams' snaps on offense. Kyren Williams, who had been struggling with fumbles in recent weeks, responded with an excellent 15-104-1 rushing line on the day, with the 104 yards representing a season high. While Corum's role did increase, Williams still handled the bulk of the workload, capping the rookie's upside heading into a Week 14 showdown against the Bills.

Corum rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

Corum's single touch on offense was the rookie's lowest usage since Week 9 against the Seahawks. The biggest story for Corum's fantasy managers was Kyren Williams fumbling twice, with one of those recovered by the Eagles. The two fumbles brought Williams' total to five in the last seven games, and the recurring ball security issues might give Corum a chance to gain more of a role in the backfield if they continue. A susceptible Saints defense up next in Week 13.

Corum rushed five times for 21 yards and caught his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 28-22 victory over the Patriots.

Corum was on the field for 10 of the Rams' 52 snaps on offense, but Kyren Williams still maintained his dominance of the snap share and actually produced his best game of the year in regards to YPC. The rookie did muster the only reception by a running back for the Rams during the game, but his role seems to be stagnant as the Rams prepare to host the Eagles in Week 12.

Corum rushed twice for eight yards and caught his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Kyren Williams wasn't his usual self in this contest, earning just 15 carries for 62 yards while also losing a fumble, but that didn't lead to an expanded role for Corum, who saw the field for just five snaps on offense. The Patriots, who held the Bears to just three points this week, are up next for Corum and the Rams in Week 11, and Williams seems likely to continue his dominating share of the snap count at running back.

Corum rushed one time on his only snap for negative one yard and returned two kicks for 49 yards during Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against the Seahawks.

Kyren Williams only left the field for a single play out of the 77 the Rams ran on offense, even during overtime. Corum hasn't shown much in his limited usage, although he did see some action as a kick returner with marginal success. Williams struggled a bit in the victory, managing only 3.1 YPC and no touchdowns on his 22 carries, but Corum's role seems unlikely to change heading into a Week 10 Monday night showdown against the Dolphins.

Corum rushed four times for nine yards and caught his lone target for nine yards during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.

Corum's five touches came on just eight snaps on offense, but the rookie out of Michigan averaged just 2.4 YPC. Kyren Williams once again dominated the backfield with 97 yards on 23 carries, and has shown no signs of slowing down. On the season, Corum's 20-73-0 line isn't particularly inspiring, but he'll try to bounce back in a divisional showdown with the Seahawks in Week 9.

Corum rushed three times for 11 yards during Sunday's 20-15 victory over the Raiders.

The Rams as a unit only took 55 snaps on offense, so Corum's usage was capped at just six offensive snaps compared to starter Kyren Williams, who had another big fantasy day with a robust 21-76-2 rushing line. Surprisingly, both Corum and Williams were blanked as pass-catchers. Expect Corum's role to stay the same in a short week against a Minneapolis run-defense that was just gashed by the Lions and their "Sonic and Knuckles" combo of Jahmyr Gibbs (15-116-2) and David Montgomery (9-31-0) in Week 7.

Corum rushed five times for 25 yards and caught one pass for eight yards during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers. He also returned three kicks for 74 yards.

Corum's second in-game action on offense was much more impactful than his garbage time usage in Week 2, as he was featured in the Rams' second drive of the game. Corum led off with a 12-yard rush, and ended up with five touches on the drive before Kyren Williams came in and scored a short one-yard touchdown. Ronnie Rivers, who acted as the backup to Williams in the Rams' first four games, was only used on special teams in the loss. Corum's usage after the Week 6 bye will be particularly telling on whether he's officially supplanted Rivers as the primary backup, but with Williams still commanding the lion's share of the rushing attack (22-102-1 on Sunday), Corum's value will be capped barring an injury to the Rams' star running back.

Corum didn't play a snap on offense and played 16 snaps on special teams during Sunday's 24-18 loss to Chicago.

Kyren Williams saw his lowest usage of the season, ceding a total of 13 snaps to backup Ronnie Rivers. Despite this, Corum got no usage on offense for the third time in four games, with his only touches on the season coming in the waning moments of a blowout loss to the Cardinals. Head coach Sean McVay is still clearly content with Williams handling the majority of the workload at running back, with Rivers working as his backup, and Corum's role doesn't seem to be expanding barring injury heading into a Week 5 showdown with Green Bay.

Corum didn't play a snap on offense and played seven snaps on special teams during Sunday's 27-24 victory against San Francisco.

It was another monster night for Kyren Williams (24-89-2), and Ronnie Rivers was the only other running back to take the field, turning his six snaps into two carries for nine yards. Corum's usage on special teams was actually the lowest it had been all season, as well. Barring injury, the third-round rookie seems unlikely to make an impact any time soon for the Rams, as head coach Sean McVay has continued feeding Williams with the vast majority of touches at running back in similar fashion to how he used him in the 2023 season.

Corum rushed eight times for 28 yards in Sunday's 41-10 blowout loss to the Cardinals.

Corum made his much-anticipated debut with the Rams after receiving no touches in Week 1. The third-round pick wound up leading his team in rushing yards, but part of the uptick in usage has to be attributed to the lopsided nature of this game. Kyren Williams (12/25/1) remains the starter in Sean McVay's offense, but Corum's involvement as a backup option Sunday's restores hope for the rookie's sleeper status heading into a Week 3 matchup against the 49ers.

Corum did not play a single offensive snap during the Rams' 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions on Sunday night. He did see nine snaps on special teams.

Corum wasn't involved on offense behind Kyren Williams, who played 91 percent of offensive snaps, and Ronnie Rivers, who saw nine percent of offensive snaps as the No. 2 running back. As the season progresses Corum, a rookie third-round pick, could usurp Rivers for the backup role, but Williams looks firmly cemented as Los Angeles' featured rusher. Despite the fact that Corum was listed as the Rams' top kick returner, those duties were handled by Jordan Whittington in Week 1. Corum will look to improve his involvement Sunday on the road against Arizona.

Corum is listed as the Rams' top kick returner on the Week 1 depth chart for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Lions, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Corum is coming off an impressive training camp, in which he seems to have locked up the No. 2 running back role behind Kyren Williams, but coach Sean McVay appears ready and willing to also deploy both of his top backs on special teams. McVay said Corum "has come in and done an outstanding job," per Kyle Austin of MLive.com, and that part of the reason Williams has been named Los Angeles' top punt returner is "confidence in [Corum] and Ronnie Rivers being able to spell [Williams] if need be." It's a bit unorthodox to now have Corum also working in the return game, though DaSilva notes that the rookie third-round pick has some experience there, having returned 18 kicks with Michigan from 2020-21. Williams is coming off an exceptional 2023 breakout campaign in which he dominated backfield reps, but adding special-teams duties to the workloads of he and Corum could necessitate some shifts. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said that "organically will play itself out" Sunday night versus Detroit.

Coach Sean McVay said Thursday in an OTAs recap video that Corum "has really stood out" early this offseason, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Corum, a rookie third-round pick, had a chance to handle extra reps during OTAs while starter Kyren Williams dealt with a foot injury, though Los Angeles' backfield was fully healthy for June minicamp. McVay praised Corum's "mental toughness" and "the way that he handles himself," and said that the rookie will "definitely" have an opportunity to contribute as a pass-catcher. Williams still appears entrenched as the clear top option in the Rams' backfield, but if Corum can keep his momentum up throughout training camp, he could have an opportunity to push for a notable role early in his career.
