Rivers had 46 rushing yards last season and 19 total snaps on offense. He played most of his snaps on special teams in 2024, 248 in total, by far the most active he’s been on any unit during his four-season career. However, Rivers had just 91 special teams snaps in 2025, but did have a career-high 16 kickoff returns for 418 yards.

He re-joins a group led by Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, as well as depth including Jarquez Hunter and Jordan Waters.

By re-signing Rivers, L.A. could see him as a leader in the clubhouse to return to his kickoff returner role next season.
