McVay Calls Kyren Williams' Postgame Comment a Misspeak as Rams Confront Multiple Injuries

The coach says Williams privately explained the remark and the clarification is meant to steady a locker room dealing with a 2-4 start.

Overview

The Rams lost 18-16 to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, dropping to 2-4 and last place in the NFC West.
After that loss, Kyren Williams told reporters, “Can’t tell you. Probably because I’m not out there,” a comment he later raised privately with coach Sean McVay.
Box scores show Williams played 42 offensive snaps, roughly 72 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in the game, and led the backfield with 10 carries for 50 yards and three catches for 17 yards.
McVay said he spoke with Williams on Monday, called the remark a misspeak, defended Williams as a team leader, and said the player was emotional after the game.
The club also disclosed several injury timelines that will strain depth — Davante Adams 6–10 weeks, Kobie Turner 4–6 weeks, and season-ending losses for Poona Ford and kicker Blake Grupe — a development that will affect playcalling, special teams and short-term roster moves.
