Todd Gurley avoided specifics about his left knee
Monday
Eric Weddle
Jersey , allowing only that ¡°it¡¯s feeling pretty good.¡± It certainly
appeared Gurley had something more than inflammation in his knee late last
season, and Jeff Howe of TheAthletic.com reported last month that the Rams
running back has arthritis.¡°I mean, all I can focus on is how I¡¯m doing right
now,¡± Gurley said when asked about the report, via Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.
¡°Feeling pretty good, like I said, taking it day by day and just trying to get
better, get ready for the next season.¡±Gurley missed the final two
regular-season games with ¡°knee inflammation¡± before gaining 118 yards from
scrimmage against the Cowboys in the divisional round. He then played a
complementary role the rest of the way.Although he didn’t appear on the injury
report before the NFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl, Gurley had only 16
touches for 47 yards and one touchdown in those two games combined.Gurley
answered ¡°not really¡± when asked if there was discussion about an offseason
procedure on his
knee
Austin Blythe
Jersey , and he was not ready to address any long-term management
plan.¡°All I need to worry about is how I¡¯m feeling right now,¡± Gurley said. ¡°I
don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to be feeling six months from now. So like I said, just
kind of keep working hard, doing what I¡¯ve been doing these past couple of
years.¡±Rams coach Sean McVay repeated what he said Friday: Gurley will remain
the ¡°focal point¡± of the team¡¯s offense. Still, the Rams matched the offer
Malcolm Brown received from the Lions as a restricted free agent, with C.J.
Anderson leaving for the Lions as a free agent.¡°Todd is a guy that’s been a
focal point of this offense,¡¯ McVay said, via quotes distributed by the team.
¡°He’s going to continue to be. Really, what resulted in [a two-back approach at
the end of last
year]
Sean Mannion
Jersey , was because [Gurley] was forced to miss some games at the end of
the year, and we wanted to be smart about managing that load. Todd has shown
that he can handle that. How we navigate through a season, it’s hard to say, but
we anticipate like we said the other day, [Gurley] being the focal point of our
offense. Unless I’m told otherwise, he’s a pretty versatile back, and we’re
going to continue to utilize all of his skill sets.†Combine week is upon us, so
