Sean McVay details Ronnie Rivers' key role with Rams as third running back

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay emphasized the importance of Ronnie Rivers as the team's No. 3 running back. With Kyren Williams and Blake Corum expected to lead the backfield, Rivers has solidified his position despite missing both preseason games. McVay expressed high trust in Rivers, citing his versatility in running, receiving, and blocking roles. This trust highlights Rivers' potential to step in if either Williams or Corum is unavailable during the season. Jarquez Hunter, who has been competing for the third spot, may be in jeopardy of losing his roster position due to McVay's confidence in Rivers.
