Rams Featuring Both Blake Corum And Kyren Williams, Will It Last?
Will the offense for the Los Angeles Rams run through Blake Corum and Kyren Williams? The running game for L.A. has been a massive part of their 3-game win streak, and with Puka Nacua missing time, they’ll likely need the run game even more. Will they keep using both backs or will one start to get more run than the other?
Sean McVay may be tested to see if he can stay with the run as he and many coaches sometimes abandon the run or don’t use it enough to keep the defense in check. Even if the run game isn’t producing, it can still help take pressure off the quarterback and tire out an opposing defense.
The Rams will need to continue to lean on both backs who can both run, block, catch, and seemingly do whatever the Rams are ask. How well can the run game be without Puka Nacua assisting? Week 10 will be a big test for the Rams and their offense.
They’ll hope their running backs can help steer their team to their fourth win in a row.
Rams PFF grades: Best and worst performers in win vs. Commanders (ramswire)
“Jackson allowed two pressures, but both of them were just hurries and he didn’t give up a QB hit or sack.
Corum forced two missed tackles on his way to rushing for 58 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Williams didn’t force any missed tackles but he did have a 71.1 pass-blocking grade.“
Rams trade deadline tracker: Latest rumors, news and buzz (ramswire)
“The Los Angeles Rams went all-in this offseason by trading for Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett, while also adding Jaylen Watson and Aaron Donald on defense. At 5-4, they’re not where they expected to be at the midway point, but the trade deadline offers them a chance to improve before the second half of the season begins.
Teams have until Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET to make any final trades. Sean McVay has indicated the Rams will more or less stand pat, knowing Davante Adams, Kobie Turner and Terrance Ferguson will all be back at some point this season, but plans always change.“

3 Wide Receivers the Rams Must Target at NFL Trade Deadline After Puka Nacua Injury (sports.yahoo)
“If the Los Angeles Rams were in need of a wide receiver last week, they will be desperate for one heading into Tuesday’s trade deadline. The Rams will be without wide receiver Puka Nacua for at least the next four weeks with a sprained PCL and MCL in his knee. Over the next four weeks, The Rams now enter another grueling stretch of their schedule. If they are going to remain competitive, trading for a wide receiver is a must. Here are three wide receivers the Rams should consider trading for ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
Prior to the Rams losing Puka Nacua, Brian Thomas Jr. may not have made the most sense. It was hard to see where he fit once Davante Adams returned from injury. However, with both Nacua and Adams out, the Rams need a player that has the ability to be a WR1. While Thomas hasn’t found success in Liam Coen’s offense, he has already shown that he can be a WR1. He had 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie and fits the wide receiver profile that has been successful with Stafford.“
Latest updates on Rams WR Puka Nacua’s knee injury (ramswire)
“McVay provided an update on Nacua Monday, telling reporters that the star receiver will likely be placed on injured reserve with an MCL and PCL sprain, as well as turf toe. If he does go on IR, Nacua won’t be eligible to return until Week 15 at the earliest.”

“Replacing Nacua’s production won’t be easy. He caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown before leaving Sunday’s game. He also leads the Rams with 70 receptions for 715 yards this season and ranks No. 6 among wide receivers with a PFN WR Impact Score of 86.0.
With Adams also sidelined, Los Angeles will have to lean on Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and CJ Daniels at receiver. Tight ends Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson could also take on larger roles in the passing game.
Still, fans want the Rams to look beyond their current options and add another receiver. One supporter made the case for a trade on X, writing, “Now we desperately need a trade.”

Puka Nacua’s impossible performance and other reactions to Rams’ Week 9 win (ramblinfan)
“The Rams were tested throughout the game. The performance gives coaches plenty to work on in practice, but the team showed plenty of positives as well. Still, an offense that seemed to score at will in 2025 was held in check. If it isn’t fixed, that’s going to be a problem going forward.
5 instant reactions to Rams’ win over Commanders
1. Rams’ offensive inconsistency continues
While the defense competed in Week 9 without both starting cornerbacks, it was the offense that struggled once more. Matthew Stafford was unable to connect consistently with any receiver not named Puka Nacua. The running backs did not rack up huge gains early. And as soon as Los Angeles fell behind, the offense began to pass far too frequently.“
