Rams' Blake Corum: Listed as top kick returner
Corum is listed as the Rams' top kick returner on their depth chart ahead of Sunday's season opener versus the Lions, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Corum is coming off an impressive training camp in which he locked up the No. 2 running back role behind Kyren Williams and subsequently was held out of preseason games. Head coach Sean McVay appears ready and willing to deploy both of his top backs on special teams, saying that Corum "has come in and done an outstanding job" while adding that Williams is the Rams' top punt returner in part due to "confidence in [Corum] and Ronnie Rivers being able to spell [Williams] if need be, per Kyle Austin of MLive.com. 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 in that department, having returned 18 kicks with Michigan between the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Williams is coming off an exceptional 2023 breakout campaign in which he dominated backfield reps, but adding special-teams duties to both his and Corum's workloads could necessitate a shift in the Rams' backfield usage.
