Sean McVay on Todd Gurley: He is ‘feeling really good’

The Los Angeles Rams have been playing things cautiously with Todd Gurley as they progress through training camp, and head coach Sean McVay sounds optimistic about the running back.

McVay says Gurley is “feeling really good” and looking like the elite player he is, according to a quote shared by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday.

Rams’ HC Sean McVay on RB Todd Gurley: “Todd is feeling really good….He’s continuing to really show a lot of the things that make him such an elite player and I think he’s feeling really good. It’s been a smart plan with Todd…and we’re are going to continue to follow that.”

Gurley will not be playing in preseason games and has been receiving limited reps in camp.

Gurley has made the Pro Bowl and led the NFL in rushing touchdowns the last two seasons. However, he wasn’t much of a factor in the NFC Championship Game and hardly did anything in the Super Bowl. There was persistent chatter about a potential knee issue, which was later confirmed by Gurley’s trainer.

McVay said as far back as April that the Rams would manage Gurley’s workload this season. They have stuck to that promise so far. Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson may see action behind Gurley this season.
