Rams running back Ronnie Rivers out with calf injury in Week 2
Summary

Los Angeles Rams running back Ronnie Rivers sustained a calf injury during the team's Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants in Week 2. Head coach Sean McVay had previously praised Rivers, who serves as the team's RB3 behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. With Rivers sidelined, the Rams have limited depth in the backfield as they already lack other key players like Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua. Rivers has contributed as a special teams player and was selected over a former draft pick earlier this year.
