Expect more of the same for Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley in practice this week.
Last week, Gurley was limited throughout each practice due to a knee injury but looked very fresh in the Rams' Divisional Round win over the Dallas Cowboys, puncturing a stout Cowboys' run defense for 115 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.
This week, Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay told Rich Hammond of The Orange County Register that the 24-year-old will be limited in practice once again.
Not that that means all that much.
It was blatantly obvious last weekend against Dallas that Gurley is well enough to run the football perfectly fine, and even if he isn't 100 percent, the Rams also have C.J. Anderson, who torched the Cowboys for 123 yards and a couple of scores off of 23 attempts.
Gurley originally injured his knee during Los Angeles' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles back in Week 15. He then ended up sitting out the final two games of the regular season.
In spite of missing the last two games, the 25-year-old still managed to rush for 1,251 yards and a league-leading 17 touchdowns this season, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. In addition, he hauled in 59 receptions for 580 yards and four touchdowns en route to a Pro Bowl selection and First-Team All-Pro honors.
Gurley, who played his collegiate football at the University of Georgia, was originally selected by the Rams with the 10th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. He has made three Pro Bowls since entering the league and has earned First-Team All-Pro selections in back-to-back seasons.
Los Angeles will take on the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game this weekend.
