Rams' McVay: Kyren Williams to Be Activated from IR vs. Cardinals After Ankle Injury

The Los Angeles Rams snapped a three-game losing streak with Sunday's 17-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks, and they received even more good news on Monday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters that running back Kyren Williams is set to come off injured reserve after recovering from his ankle injury and he will be available for the team's Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Williams hasn't played since he put forth one of the best performances of his career in a Week 6 win over Arizona. He ran for a career-high 158 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries to spearhead a 26-9 victory.

Despite missing the last four games, Williams still leads the Rams with 456 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 97 carries. The Rams added veterans Royce Freeman and Darrell Henderson Jr. in his absence, but the team failed to total 100 rushing yards in three out of the four games Williams missed.

The return of the second-year running back should help boost a Los Angeles offense that could be without star wide receiver Cooper Kupp in Week 12. McVay said Kupp's status is uncertain after he suffered an ankle injury against the Seahawks that forced him to exit the game in the second quarter.

"I know he's going to do everything in his power [to play]," McVay said. "... It's not something where you're saying he's definitely going to be out for this week, but you want to see the functionality."

At 4-6, the Rams aren't completely out of the playoff race, but they have a lot of work to do to remain in the hunt. Getting Williams back should aid that effort.
