Is Kyren Williams Injured? What Happened to Kyren Williams?
Kyren Williams is not injured. He’s played in all eleven games this season and is perfectly healthy, but that hasn’t translated to stats tonight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For anyone watching the Rams dominate Tampa Bay 31-7 in the first half, Williams’ lack of involvement stands out, mostly because of how explosive he’s been recently, including a 91-yard, one-touchdown performance just last week versus Seattle. AyoKellz (@KellzAyo) posted on X asking why Kyren Williams isn’t playing today.
Yet, through two quarters in this Sunday Night Football matchup, he’s only carried the ball twice for three yards and caught one two-yard pass, noticeably outpaced by backup Blake Corum, who’s racked up three carries for 21 yards. This isn’t due to injury or any behind-the-scenes issue; it’s just a game script thing. GHUTCH (@GhutchPickz) posted on X that Vegas decided Kyren Williams wouldn’t get the ball.
The Rams have come out firing. Stafford is on fire, completing 19 of 23 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns, so the offense hasn’t needed much of a ground game so far. It’s a departure from the usual balance but with such a big lead, sticking to what’s working makes sense, even if it leaves someone like Williams quietly waiting on the sidelines.
That’s football, sometimes, even one of the league’s most effective backs (Williams currently ranks eighth in RB Impact rating with an 84.1 score) becomes a bystander in a blowout where the play-calling favors passing. When the Rams are riding Stafford’s hot hand and carrying a massive halftime advantage, the opportunity for Williams to rack up touches just isn’t there, at least for now. No injury, no drama just a team playing to its strengths in the moment and letting the scoreboard dictate the script.
