St. Louis Rams: A Super Early 53-Man Roster Projection

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Running Backs (5): Todd Gurley, Tre Mason, Benny Cunningham, Trey Watts, Chase Reynolds

It’s possible that Todd Gurley will begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, in which case another player, either Malcolm Brown or Isaiah Pead, might be able to crack the 53-man roster. If Gurley is ready to go during the early part of the season, it’s probable that he and Mason will split carries, with Cunningham handling the “third down back” duties, and Watts and Reynolds contributing on special teams.

Brown, an undrafted free agent out of Texas, will be a guy to keep an eye on during training camp, and he could push Watts (more likely) or Reynolds (less likely) for a roster spot if he shows that he can contribute on special teams.
