Rams training camp preview: Breaking down LA’s crowded backfield

The Rams’ backfield is a bit crowded with Cam Akers back, so how many RBs will they carry this season?

The Rams played most of last season without their starting running back after Cam Akers tore his Achilles in a July workout. Darrell Henderson Jr. and Sony Michel did a fine job filling in, at least until Akers returned late in the year for the postseason run.

Now, Akers is fully healthy, Henderson is in the final year of his contract and Michel plays for the Dolphins. It’s still a deep group of runners, with Kyren Williams being the most notable offseason addition, and only two players are true locks to make the team.

So let’s run through this position ahead of training camp.
